JimLucas Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 we'd have to kill them...I say Jim, the "Boxers" are rebelling again ! I think "revolting" is the term.
Stephen Chambers Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 we'd have to kill them...I say Jim, the "Boxers" are rebelling again ! I think "revolting" is the term. I was trying to be polite (and historically correct). But I realise that it then ruins the punchline : "I know, I smelt them when I came in !" (I wonder just how old that joke is, Music-Hall perhaps ?)
Chris Timson Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 Mind you, you do see some interesting things on ebay. The current haul includes an Angolan concertina, and it would appear that concertinas from Angola are a particularly violent shade of blue. Not many people know that! Chris
Erik Murray Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 (edited) I have noticed some of those Angola concertinas. This must explain all the nonsense about the terms English and Anglo. It should be English and Angolan. Thanks to the internet we've straightened that out. As to the blue color we can only hope to learn more as time goes on. E Edited March 3, 2004 by Erik Murray
JimLucas Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 As to the blue color we can only hope to learn more as time goes on. I think that comes from trying to breathe in synchrony with the bellows changes.
