Very True. Part of the problem is the "P.C." crap they are getting is school. We have watched the quality (and accuracy) of education nosedive over the last ten years. We still have two children...

I'd say, you pulled it off quite well.

Looks like it would be a great way to spend a few hours on the Loch.

The steamship, Maid of the Lock, last sailed on Loch Lomond in 1981. She was acquired by a charity in 1996.

The first step to refitting and getting her back on the loch, has been...

Funny, the first thing I noticed,...was the foot placement.

Well Z,....I have to say; if I had to choose someone to live vicariously through,...you would be on the top of the short list.:cool:

Congratulations, Captain.
Thank you for your service to this country, and the men and women of the U.S. Navy.

Congratulations to the both of you.

Nice look.:cool:

Derek, sounds like a good location for the James Clode band's next video (and maybe an album.) :cool:

A nice way to raise money for a good cause.

Derek, how were the acoustics? The few caves I've been in, would not have been conducive to a concert.

An excellent suggestion, Jock. :clap:

Congratulations, Barb.
He's a cute little guy. No doubt, the first of many kilts.

Thanks for the photos, Derek. You always show us a good time. :cool:

I was wondering the same thing. Possibly to protect the finish on the floors? :think:
I'm 6'3" and my wife is 5'2". She wears 3 inch heels and her floor length gowns are sized for those heels.

I presume "a very fancy ball" would be a "white tie" affair.
I would go with the Balmoral with tartan waistcoat, belt and bow tie.

Nathan, I like the waistcoat with the Argyll.

Worn with the doublets, doesn't do it for me, though.

Nice photos. Thanks for sharing them.
Looks like it was nice weather for the games.
It's been a long time since I've been, good to see there's a good turnout.

Well, Ron. About all I can say about that photo is,......"Thank you, very much." :cool:

Thanks, Glen.

Congratulations. :clap:

My wife and I have enjoyed their music for years. Unfortunately, they're one band we've never had the pleasure of seeing in concert.

Looks like a good time was had by all. :cool:

Glen, nice looking tartan. What is it?

“Pocket lint” is part of the trade craft. What you carry says a lot about you. For instance do you carry your cash in a money clip, in your wallet, or just folded in your pocket? Do you keep the...

Wow....Very nice, Derek, very nice, indeed. :clap:
