Just got my housey! today. Interesting reading, and what a lovely picture of Lucy Cox (Col A). What a very large "oboe" she is playing!! My daughter played one of those rather well but I seem to remember she called it something else.

I had the same thought about that instrument, but being one of the most unmusical Old Blues in existence I didn't dare raise the thought here!! (What is it please?)

It is of course the didgeridoo aka the bassoon!

A bassoon! Who checks these things before going to print?

You just beat me to it Mr Plum

No mentions of a recent departure in Housey, though.........

oi watch it, I still play the bassoon!

I know, good typo there. Especially after the blurb about repairing the bassoons. I'm not sure why that was such a big deal. I seem to remember the instruments (not just bassoons!) often being sent to the repairers for maintenance. You shouldn't leave instruments until they're knackered. Costs twice as much to sort out for a start!

I wondered when you'd pick my comment up!

i know she plays the pink oboe.....

Shatner's Bassoon (cue Brass Eye) ...

don't u think that housey is just turning into a CH propaganda magazine for the counting house. The whole double age is about ols blues giving money or some shi about becoming a donation govenor. They must be desperate.

whooo my photo's on the back page

I think Housey has had that perception for years...
