Cheers, Fer no whovians in spain then? I had to go wikipedia for to figure what the heck a whovian is... I'm afraid not, ma'am. I know about it 'cause of my wife, but she doesn't go farest than Jeeves & Wooster, Jonathan Creek, LOM or Pride & Prejudice... On the other hand, local series are nothing short of awful Cheers, Fer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) I supose concertinist. I suppose you're right, though as a term it sort of conjures up images of serious minded pipe smokers playing serious music on seriously black concertinas for other serious minded pipe smokers in somewhat smoky rooms. Can't we invent something? Like, say, squeezicians or tinaholics? Chris Edited to add PS: Doctor Who fans are sometimes referred to as Whovians, most often by the press. The usage was more common among fans in the United States during the 1980s, when the Doctor Who Fan Club of America (pronounced by members as Dwifca - now defunct) published the Whovian Times as its newsletter. That's Wikipedia, so it must be true. Edited June 17, 2009 by Chris Timson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelenM Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Well, here in France you'd probably be called a clown. In my case they'd be right as I've only been playing for three weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Drinkwater Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 In my case, I am either an Aeolaist or an Edeophonist, depending on which of my two English concertinas I am playing. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbones Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) I apologize in advance for this: Buttoneer (Exactly like Buccaneer only different) Free Reeder Bellows Abuser Squeezer Concertinian (I guess that's more like if you were from the planet Concertina) Tina tickler (If you knew Tina like I know Tina) Button Pusher Squeak Boxer (If Jean-Claude Van Damme played) Obsessive Compulsive Repulsive Annoyance Provider "OCRAP"(I speak for myself) Edited June 17, 2009 by drbones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene S. Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 In my case, I am either an Aeolaist or an Edeophonist, depending on which of my two English concertinas I am playing. Chris Ooh Chris ... being a purist, eh?? I quite liked the idea of "concertinarina" ... but that would only apply to persons of the feminine gender, surely? Could you go further and be a concertinarinarist, I wonder ?? (I suspect that that is probably getting just too silly by half) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 A Musician.. . . . .. Unless you're over 100 years old, then you'd be a Concertinarian, or maybe a Concertaturian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_boveri Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Tina tickler (If you knew Tina like I know Tina) the apology ahead of time does not excuse such tomfoolery. my younger brother and i both let out an audible gasp when we read it. well done, sir, as we are not easily so moved .
