Bernie Touching Base

[Bernie]

Hi Guys, I thought I would join this forum because a very good friend of mine recommended it to me. I'm in my mid-forties and been wearing kilts for many years now, mostly Utilikilts, but I also own a 9-yard tartan in my clan name (I have a Scottish surname but apart from that I am as English as a pint of Boddingtons). I live in North East Hampshire in the UK at weekends and in Hertfordshire during the week.

I used to be a regular member of one of the so-called "unbifurcated garment" forums but got bored after a few years and gave up. But I feel a renewed interest in having a natter with like-minded individuals about a subject that is close to my heart....so close in fact that it gets a mention in the divorce proceedings my soon to be ex-wife is taking out against me.

I have about 7 kilts of varying types and styles and wear them as often as I can, which means just about everywhere except at work. I won't tell you who my friend is but he now owns 53 kilts and is a celebrity in the kilted fraternity....any guesses?

Bernie

PS. I just know someone is going to tell me Boddingtons is brewed in Wales or Japan or somewhere...

Hi Bernie and welcome to X Marks.

[Prester John]

Welcome to the forum!

You'll find alot of activity here, fun and weird, but mostly fun.

I don't know about Boddington's, so I just assume you really are Scottish!

[Big Paul]

Welcome and enjoy!

Welcome Bernie! I'm new to the forum myself, but now so new to the kilt. So far this is the best kilted forum I've found anywhere. It's a good feeling to know that there are so many like minded individuals in the world.

Welcome, and while I can guess who your friend is, I can assure your fears on Boddingtons are unfounded. It is brewed in the UK.

Welcome Bernie, glad to have you here. I do think your friend passed the 53 mark already though. ;)

[Bernie]

Wow, that's a lot of welcomes in such a short space of time. I only went away for 5 minutes to make a cup of tea and I came back and I'm confronted with half a dozen replies. Yeap Bubba I've just noticed that he has increased his kilt haul from 53 to 55....I can't keep up with him.

Thanks for making me feel I am amongst friends.

Hi Bernie,

I also would like to add my welcome to you, and I know that you will be pleased you came here. The friend who steered you in this direction must be a good pal of yours, and a wise one too - I'd like to meet him one day.
