    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.

    Well Lanc hasn't voted yet anyway, as it is his poll perhaps you should break that tradition Lanc?

    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?

    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.
