Funny scene from Sharpe's Sword (1995). Removed Munro's explanations about Sharpe's mission. For fun purposes only, no copyright infringement intended.
They were part of the reason the british army was so feared. The fact that they resisted the urge to shoot the guy trying to torture them with that noise spoke of their discipline and training. No other army could have put up with that noise without a mutiny occurring.
There was the time the rocket artillery was launching towards the farmhouse he and Patrick were hunkered down in, and one of the rockets actually hit the house, making Sharpe jump.
@@SantomPh yea your right! I completely forgot that episode. I always did enjoy watching how Sharpe had to fight his natural reaction to the little eccentricities of his various senior officers.
A Scotsman walks into a bar with a big bag under his arm. The bartender asks: What are you carrying? The guy responds: Five pounds of high explosives! The bartender says: Thank God! I thought it was a set of bagpipes.
A man takes his octopus to a Hollywood talent agent. Man: "My octopus can play any musical instrument that you give him." The octopus plays everything very well. Until given bagpipes. He starts fumbling. Agent, with a sneer: "I thought that you said that he can play all instruments." Man:"Give him a minute. Once he figures out that he can not screw it, he will play it."
It's actually like rocking a baby. Marching sooths the pipes and helps stop them becoming "fractious" - An angry set of pipes is a dangerous thing indeed ! For the same reason the Germans didn't shoot at Piper Bill Millen as he approached Pegasus Bridge - they were terrified of wounding the pipes and them going berserk. 😁
@@maxsparks5183 Apparently when Lord Lovat's personal bagpiper Bill Millin marched up and down Sword Beech on D-Day the German's didn't shoot him because they thought he'd gone mad
A guy leaves his bagpipes in full view on the back seat of his car and he goes off shopping, when he returns he sees that his car has been broken into and the back window is smashed. He looks inside and to his surprise he sees his own bagpipes still there and another set of bagpipes placed alongside them!
You want an enemy prisoner to talk, leave them alone with Munro while he is playing the bagpipes and they will be selling out their own mother within 10 minutes, just to make him stop
Fun fact: the guy in the first opening moment is James Purefoy, who played Edward, Prince of Wales, in A Knight's Tale several years later. He lost of lot of the fat on his face. Purefoy also had a spectacular role in the 2012 film "Ironclad" which I HIGHLY recommend for anyone interested in medieval history and/or the Battle of Rochester Castle.
Why the hell do you highly recommend ironclad for those reason it gets Rochester all wrong for a start and is in no conceivable way historically accurate lmao
@@npickle54 no films are historically accurate. It rare to see an accurate documentary these days never mind films. Ironclad is a good film but nobody in their right mind expects historical accuracy when watching movies.
An actual Munro american patriot? what? Your name being Munro does not make you one of the clan. Its a common name in England too you know. You are American not Scottish and we Scottish are sick of yanks pretending to be us. Its very common for Scots to have scandanavian/french/english/irish blood but you dont see us calling ourselves anything but Scottish.
@@richbob9155 I'm not trying to be one of you. I am American and proud of it. Also proud of MY SCOTTISH HERITAGE. I know my family history and I know where we came from. You seem to assume that im not aware of this. Try not to be such an ass bob. Who made you the police of Scottish pride anyway?
An octopus walks into a bar with a set of bagpipes. The barman asks, “what are you going to do with those?” The octopus replies, “well, once I get its pajamas off, we're gonna make babies.”
ayyy tho' waire fanny,add this' how did the octapus talk? dont ask me how bot he dyd,, ocatapus orderes scotch far himseylf and the bag pipes,'say me bay whot r yii ginna doo with the bagpipes?' ' get hair a few drynkes get the pajamas off and make babies
How to tell the fake scot from the real ones. Look for language nobody has used for a long time like this crap. What you wrote reads like nonsense. Nobody talks like that in Scotland. Timorous is a posh English word and looks completely out of place here too. Sleekit cowering and timorous all mean the same thing in this sentence too. Its like you want to be Scottish but you cant be bothered trying.
@@richbob9155 You know, when I initially read this, I thought of advising you not to take it so seriously. But then I remembered I live in current year where everyone complains all of the time about the slightest hint of an implied insult to their race, so why can't the Scots do it too? Therefore: Proceed.
Nerdy anachronism here but the piece Monroe is badly playing is Merrily kissed the Quakers wife also known as merrily kids the quaker, and wasn't written until 1922
