Ladies & Gentlemen,

StarbkjrUS and I have the distinct pleasure and indeed honour of officially announcing the birthday of Mr. Hamish Bicknell; our mentor and leader in the acquisition and tasteful wearing of kilts. Ham is one of our founding members and unquestionably the chieftain of our little Rabble o’ Kilties.

Ham is very possibly the world’s foremost documented (as in BBC Documentary ) kilt wearer as well as by all accounts an all around nice guy. As I type this, Ham is in possession of 63 kilts with, I believe, a Northumberland tartan on the way. It is our understanding that he has his eye on a few more.

Please join us in congratulating Ham on his 70th birthday. We all wish him many more happily kilted years.

Happy Birthday Ham and guid on ye mon!!

We are posting this now so that Ham has a great morning to wake up to! Please add your own thanks to this thread.
