    David,

    I didn't know that they made Swatch watches in Co Fermanagh

    Glad to hear that news

    Decisions decisions that is what we kilted guys are known for. Which kilt to buy, from what kiltmaker, the weight, etc.

    I am sure that you will get the best bargain that you can get for the quality you want.

    I cannot relate to telling the wife, I have problems telling my checkbook

    Let us know what you decide.

    Tell the wife that you could easily be spending more money if you were a smoker.
    And if you're already a smoker, then she should be used to dealing with your addictions by now.

    There are, BUT, when I'm in a kilt she "watches my 6". On more that one occassion she has kept jokers from doing the 'kilt check' on me when I was occupied with other things. Plus there are some other advantages....

    Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life take big bites. Moderation is for monks.

    Rob, you are far too verbose. That statement could be shortened up, considerably. See -

    I've found consuming whisky to be important.

    Or, even more concise -

    I've found whisky.

    Now, I am off to see if I can find a scan of Freelander's new tartan selection. (to keep the Thread Police in check )

    Peace,
    Mike
