Quite nice!

I'm envious!!! :twisted:

Nice boots but wouldn't know how they might look with a kilt until tried on with a kilt. I recently bought a pair of boots I thought I'd really like (I do) but they don't particularly look right to...

My sincere hopes and wishes for her speedy full recovery.

Since 1967 here. Even that is a bit late since Schroedinger proposed it in 1935 as a reductio ad absurdum "refutation" of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory; somehting a lot of people...

No trumpets? (a gawd awful lot of horns though). What was the piece? Oh yea, kilted clarinet! Good on ya' !

Now write that 100 times before morning or... Oh yea, and what have the Romans done for us? -- love it!!! :lol:
