I think that they are supposed to be tiger skins ...

You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.

Sorry, I have no wish to be argumentative, but I don't think that "Their Party, Their Rules" works at all.

No blacks? No Irish? No Indians? No Wops? No Spicks? No Chinks? No Kikes? No women?

In the short term, your clan might consider boycotting the parade on the grounds of discrimination.

In the long term, letters to the local press complaining about the discrimination, will produce...

It's too small, RR, to be able to identify.

Of course, we should differentiate between UK haggis and US haggis. That is to say with sheep's lung and without. I have never tasted without, so I don't know if it is better or not.

I rather like it cold next day, in a very fresh bread sandwich, with just a hint of Colman's English Mustard.

Good luck with the weight loss and good luck with the kiltlessness.

I mean overcoming your kiltlessness.

Apart from all the historical, ecclesiastical and financial reasons, there is also officialdom.

All ancient monuments are scheduled and have a grading. The higher the grading the less that can be...

I have started a thread in the Show Us Your Pics board.

Carrying straight on, without even pausing for breath -

Harpenden Gathering has never been known for the high standard of athletics - it is just too far from Scotland and all the people who do it for a hobby.

This year was no exception - but with a...

Not a lot to say here, except for, note the piper in army combat uniform. He was still in Afghanistan, this time last week.

Each of the bands performed in the Band Circle.

Two pictures each of the bands -

This year there were 5 Pipe bands:

Harpenden Pipe Band,
Bedford Pipe Band,
British Airways Pipe Band,
Epping Forest Pipe Band and
Milton Keynes Pipeband.

Each of the bands marched into the...

The day started at 05:00 - misty, moisty and wet. Final packing of the car and away.

The weather got worse. The steady drizzle became rain, which became a downpour. If I had not been in the car,...

Good first picture RL, but being the addicts that we are, we need more, More, MORE!

I see no reason why not.

I think, Mel that those two activities have two different requirements.

In a totally casual environment, in and around the house, the utility kilt might be just the job for comfort.

On the...

Based purely on my own observations over a few years (which could be totally erroneous), they look to me - sloppy.

If you look up the "1 kilt - 10 looks" thread, you will see that a tartan kilt...
