The BTO have developed an adaptor for Number 2 ringing (banding) pliers, to make them easier to use for people with smaller hands - an excellent and simple bit of kit that will make ringing easier for a whole load of people

Mallet to the nuts! They're tied off tight, so they can't escape. You think they'll pop this time?

Several members of my #BrassBand received their service awards at the weekend. At least 2 were 50yr awards & I'm realising I'll have to be alive & still playing at 85 to get a 50yr one 🤣

Most people seem to have started #banding as kids. I didn't even know we had a proper brass band in my area when I was a kid. I joined my 1st band in my 30's.

It's definitely a community as well. Everyone knows everyone. Until Christmas, I couldn't even organise my own deps cos I didn't know any other brass players of a similar standard... I now know the ones that depped for the other basses.

Most bands seem to have at least one married couple in them. I can't even get my husband to come to one of my concerts or contests, never mind actually learn a brass instrument & play in one.

I am basically still a baby in terms of banding, an old baby & a bit of an outsider. But my band (most bands) are very accepting & supportive & in the bandroom I feel I am one of them. Plus, I might only have been playing 5yrs (this time, I played Tuba as a kid), but I have some trophies under my belt, so that's kinda cool.

Well, today in my semi incapacitated state (got a really bad cold this week), I solved the horizontal hole banding mistery.

I once banded my #penis for long enough that it was #numb for a week. I would have thought that would be a really frustrating week, because I normally masturbate daily, but instead I just didn't get #horny while it was numb.

I also came just as hard with partial feeling as with full feeling. The feeling of being partially numb turns me on.

Enjoyed my weekend up North for Brass in Concert 🎺 A bit gutted with the result (9th of 12), but that’s contesting! And nothing will take away the fun, work ethic and camaderie that we share in the band room ❤️

Onwards to some festive concerts and the Christmas break. I’ve had an wonderful year of banding and look forward to the 2023 season, but after 7 contests in 11 months my body is achey and telling me to take a break! 💤
