I've just returned from a long weekend south to visit my son and to attend a Sean Keane concert (another topic).

One night we were all in the city and fancied a pint at an Irish Pub, my son, wearing shorts was barred because of the dress code. I followed and said 'well what about a kilt??" The bouncer said "you can come in, but no sgian dubh's"

I think the guy was proud of himself for knowing what a sgian dubh was, we had a laugh and i went in to bring the pints outside to those poor souls unkilted!

Just a couple of days away and there is so much reading to catch up on here!
