To think it's not my fault DH has lost his piano wig?

He's blaming my house-keeping but I'm working full time just as he is and personally think housework should be a joint responsibility! Not just mine! I said he should help me with the housework and put his stuff where he can find it again and not rely on me as if I'm his mother. AIBU?

Marvel Horse. If I may say so. The whole thread, an absolute musical hoot

What is a Marvel Horse? Is that a poster?

I once knew a girl who played the basoon (bassoon)?

Apparently, her knicks fell down at the bus stop one day.

Kendodd I am staring into the dregs of my G&T and my piano wig has slipped rakishly over one eye.

Good night

That be it in a nutshell Blue.

Would ya credit it?...

12 hours and 6 pages later, a bunch of schoolkids know what a piano wig looks like AND WE DON'T Angry

SpookhettiTwirlerAndProud · 08/10/2011 07:38

I just laughed so hard at 'piano is now wearing pyjamas' that I jiggled poor DD off the boob!

This is why I love MN. I spend time huffing and puffing about various ridiculous threads, sometimes there's tutting involved, then occasionally a thread comes along that makes you snort through your nose laughing uncontrollably. Brilliant. Grin

Could it be something like this? Too literal maybe?

Piano Wig?

KenDoddsDadsDog · 08/10/2011 08:13

I'm taking my piano wig to Toni & Guy today. Will they give it a cut and colour do you think?

barkwithnobite · 08/10/2011 13:01

HiS piano is his dick, wig is d condom?

Salmotrutta · 08/10/2011 14:17

Now there's a new angle ...

GeraldineAubergine · 08/10/2011 15:35

Did you check behind the banjo string oiler and the bassoon muff? That's where my piano wig oftentimes ends up.

Blatherskite · 08/10/2011 16:00

Have we found the first ever thing that Google doesn't know!? Shock

My piano is fairly young and therefore not yet prone to alopecia. However, when the time comes, I will offer him the option of a discreet toupee, or perhaps some Rooney-style follicle implants, if he so chooses.

In the mean time, has anyone seen my baroque trumpet sock suspenders?

Roseflower · 08/10/2011 16:23

I think I have solved it.

It's a nickname for a Merkin.

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 08/10/2011 19:06

I cite the OP's additional current thread in Relationships as evidence that, regardless of whatever garments her household's musical instruments and her dh are wearing, she has a penchant for suspenders:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/relationships/1314850-DH-and-I-agreed-to-do-role-play-I-did-mine-now-hes-refusing

This Court hereby orders the OP to return with full accounts - or else.

Is that where the whole Chewbacca thing on chat came from?

SpookhettiTwirlerAndProud · 10/10/2011 16:25

So do we still not know what a bloody piano wig is?

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 10/10/2011 19:24

Am I destined to spend the rest of my life not knowing what a piano wig is?

SpookhettiTwirlerAndProud · 10/10/2011 19:37

I still say it's a wig for the piano and not the player.

RufusTFirefly · 10/10/2011 20:10

I gave up using my mic condom some time ago. It was like having a bath in me wellies. (Some people use odd little foam covers, called pop shields, on their mics. Supposed to cut out the popping noise when you sing consonants. Useless bloody things cut too much sound out, as well as looking stupid.)

I have worked with many piano players, and was married to one - but never encountered a piano wig. I haven't lived, obviously. And I do wish my piano player friend John were still alive - this thread would have been right up his street.

What a waste of time.

My dad trained as a concert pianist the Conservatoir in Vienna (but had to break off his studies because war broke out). When I was very young, he kept his piano wig on mum's dressmaker's dummy. I don't know exactly what happened, but he must have lost it and practiced without it once - he spent hours playing every weekend morning, and an hour or so when he got back from work during the week. Anyway, he never wore the thing again. He said NOT wearing the wig made his playing much freer.
