La gaita, un instrumento de guerra


Al parecer, hay una regla ( no escrita) que prohibe tocar la gaita en batalla. Esta regla  - que si bien podría hacerse extensiva a más situaciones de la vida cotidiana (sorry Nuñez) - al comandante Lord Lovat le pareció que el dia D, bien se podía saltar. Y asi , ni corto ni perezoso, le pidió a Bill Millin que no cesará en soplar el instrumento mientras avanzaba  bajo la balacera  por las playas de Normandía, eso si, sin perder su compostura y flema Scottish.
" Bill Millin, el gaitero escocés que desafió el fuego enemigo al liderar a sus compatriotas hacia la batalla en el histórico Día D, como se conoce el desembarco de los aliados en Normandía durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, murió el 26 de agosto a los 86 años, informó su familia."
Someone dixit, "esos eran gaiteiros y los demás...soplagaitas". 
A Madriña o teña no seu regazo.

A Madriña bless you All

Creo que la regla es al revés.

Lord Lovat, siempre tan despistao...je. Aunque creo que iba con segundas, hay quien dice que la mujer de Lord Lovat tocaba la gaita...y él...pues eso, se iba de batallitas...(esto es lo que se dice...ojo...la verdad ¿?)

My name is %name&% and first off I wish to say great website.
I have a brief question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.

I was curious to know how you center yourself and
clear your mind before writing. Lately I just can't get my head clear so that I'm able
to focus on my ideas. I love writing once I get into it,
but most of the time I feel as if I end up wasting the first ten to fifteen minutes pushing myself to concentrate.
Any tips or suggestions?

No question, this is great. It's not every day you see a blog that's this good on web 2.
0 site, and you've got it down completely. Very few folks these days make an effort to actually put some thought into this issue. It's awesome that I
was able to find this while searching for
relevant topics.

I have been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like
yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did,
the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.
