Thanks for the saxophone! Worth anything at auction?
« on: November 11, 2007, 09:05:08 PM »
SIL came for a visit today and brought a saxophone which was no longer "required". Banghead

Very nice instrument - assuming you like listening to sound effects of the mating calls of rare, even endangered, mammals. cussing:


 surrender:

Maybe I could take it to the Antiques Roadshow. Just saw some chap get a £14 junk shop pot valued at £48K! ANd a vase what he bought for a £1000 (much to his wife's disgust) valued at £25K.

His Mrs and MIL looked gobsmacked (esp as the £14 pot was a present from his MIL! point:)

Why not give it to The Boy?

I'm sure he'd be able to make good use of it!

and not only by playing it!
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 

Well, someone had to say it!

I'm sure you would enjoy listening to the boy practicing his saxonphone skills, get him some lessons, if nothing else he could become a portable Nick alarm  point:
