Parking tickets?

Don't you have those "Piper On Call" cards that you put on your dashboards so's the cops will skip ticketing you?

That makes two of us.

I like your list of the night, as a newbie I have a rather different list.

Don't laugh.....in Gretna Green last christmas, there was a Citroen in the car park that had a "Wedding Piper" placard in the window.

This only makes sense in Gretna Green. (google it, kids)

# of hours I was dogged for not wearing a kilt to a biker bar - 4+
# of other people in kilts - 6
# of times I promised I'll wear a kilt for Blarney Day (April 15th) - 7 or 8

Yes I'm a bad kiltie but it wasn't a good day for much of anything but the night made up for it, got a nice Jameson shirt from a kilted lass as well.
