@BECKintl "He's from Morecambe Zoo. He says he's playing all the right notes, just his tentacles are not necessarily in the right order"

@brokenscience
"That's all very charming but when's he going to tell us who wins the Rugby?"

@dvo10
Paul is playing La Marseillaise, so put your money on France.

'Shame he can only play chopsticks.'

@MMmmwa
As long as he cleans up after himself...

@HairyMcFairy
"No I said *tickle* the ivory, not *tentacle*."

@ScepticTank
The blokes are saying 'He may be wet behind the ears, but boy can he play a full octave!'

@AntRDean
'And apparently, 'the piano's on my tentacle' is one of Liszt's late masterpiece's.'

@furiousgerbil
'He can't play a note but he told us a sob story about how his gran was turned into calamari so we've got him on X-factor.'

@FinsteroffReg
"He calls this one his Opus 8.'

@CBPodge
"If you think that's impressive, you should see him on the harp."

@FinsteroffReg
'I asked you to book someone with GREAT TENOR SKILLS not Eight Tentacles!'

@Mr_R1cardo
'I know he looks a little ill, but what do you expect for six quid an hour'

@TheLordNoel
Playing Debussy always makes him homesick

@TheLordNoel
Where else can you get Handels water music and your piano cleaned at the same time?

@Buwahaha
He says it's four-bar blues in double-time.

@Buwahaha
He's using the leaking roof as a metronome.

@theglorymill
He can play any type of music except scales.

@theglorymill
Of course his party piece is Beethoven's Eighth.

@ScurrilousFacts
"The miracle is, that's not seawater he's using there you know. He's sponsored by Sailor Jerry."

@Rossildinio
If only beethoven could hear this!

@NathanEvanOne
"They couldn't find a Tuna at the weekend, he's the next best"

You think thats impressive, later he's helping Rooneys dad pick the winner of the old firm game.

@alienonline
"That's the great Calamari. To think he nearly ended up on a plate with 'Thousand Island' dressing and a bit of lettuce."

@alienonline
"Yes, he's an amazing pianist and really draws the crowd. The arena is packed like a tin of sardines every night!"

@Robert_HM
"One wrong note and he's calamari"

@MinnieMcMinge
I've sacked the orchestra. He'll save us a fortune.

He's on tentacles about tonight's performance poor chap.

@scottiwheeler
He's been up all night practising but his all fingers and thumbs.

@scottiwheeler
He's been learning Handel's Water Music for Octet all by himself since he learnt of that trawler taking his 7 pals.

@sheardyj
'Amazing isn't he? Spans eight notes all at the same time, I think he must be an octaveipus.'

@littlenel
Paul needed a new career after it was discovered he couldn't predict the Rugby scores!
