Country:  | They are an aboriginal instrument. Hard to describe, but I think they are pretty cool. I have a friend that plays one and I think it is quite an interesting thing. The have a real low tone.

Country: | Oh...my...god. Now not only is it Australian...but lanc plays it too. It's just not lookin' good for the Didgiridoo. And also...Rolf Harris played it. It's not f*ckin' cool.
It's about as cool as hemroids. And Yorkshire lass, eh? Where in Yorkshire?

Country: | Really? Listenin' to Abba and playing the Didgiridoo? Did they change what "it" is again!?
And for everyone else; it's not cool. This man plays it (as well as lanc): Rolf Harris! 
Rolf is the one on the left of the picture. And NS, stop admiring the damn lemur.
