that explains that chip on your shoulder. I've never met Gazza but something tells me he he has no chip on his shoulder. Tell me about your chip. The Thunderboat agony Aunt is here to help you my frend... Oh No, a Thunderboat person has stayed up past 9pm.

Anyway, kilts are not 'Scottish' - it's just some fancy dress made up by Queen Victoria and her lackeys. Sporrans too. Load of nonsense. Well, I'm 75% (the other 25% is a mystery - probably fox) Scottish, so I think I have a right to berate people who put kilts on. It's embarrassing.

You should try it sometime.

Actually, the Witch just asked me if I have 'the right' to wear a kilt. Black Watch is the tartan of my dad's father's side. No... I would feel silly, but there are photos here of my grandad in his kilt (Army uniform) - not sure if I've posted them on Thunderboat before. Not on my computer any more, and too lazy to take photos of the photos...

Yeabut the advantage if a kilt is that if you aren't wearing knickers you are a real man, whereas someone in a dress with no knickers is a slut.

Here is my grandad, Edward Morton Webb Turner (related to the cross-Channel swimmer) wearing a kilt - actually, it's grey because it's his 'kilt protector' (kilt is underneath). He was in the Black Watch. The first photo is from 1915 at Nigg, which was the Black Watch battalion army camp between Pitcalnie and Bayfield in Tain, to the north of Inverness. The second photo is also from 1915. The third photo is of his brother's son (ie. my dad's cousin) Thomas Trussler Turner in 1965 in South Africa. I don't know why he's wearing a kilt. But there is a biography written about him (below), which includes his childhood in Edinburgh, and I have been in contact with his wife - they now live in Tasmania. He was sweeping for mines in the Mediterranean during/after World War 2. goo.gl/photos/HKjjCwdMeiNPvMFa6

She's not ginger I reckon its a wig. doesn't really do her any favours in my opinion. I know why some women wear them as my mother did at one stage as she suffered from alopecia. It just seems wrong for some reason.

Old Jokes Revisited. Number 457:
Nicola Sturgeon is touring Perthshire, in the First Minister’s chauffeur driven car. Suddenly a cow jumps out into the road. They hit it full on and the car comes to a stop. Nicola in her usual jaunty manner, says to the chauffeur : " You get out and check - you were driving." The chauffeur gets out, checks and reports that the animal is dead. " You were driving, go and tell the farmer," says Nicola, ”I can’t afford to be blamed for anything.” The chauffeur walks up the drive to the farmhouse and returns five hours later totally plastered, his hair ruffled and with a big grin on his face. " My God, what happened to you ?" asks Nicola. The chauffeur replies : " When I got there, the farmer opened his best bottle of malt whisky, the wife gave me a slap up meal and the daughter made love to me." " What on earth did you say?" asks Nicola. " I knocked on the door and when it was answered, I said to them, I'm Nicola Sturgeon’s chauffeur and I've just killed the cow!!

The guy in the middle of Telemachus's 'wonderful' photograph looks like Colin Dexter to me.
Dexter wrote the brilliant Morse novels, and when adapted (nothing like the books I'm afraid) for tv, Colin Dexter had written into the contracts that he made a chameo appearance in every episode. Bless him, this carried over into the Lewis programmes too.
All of which leads me to believe, that the guy on the left in the kilt, is clearly a homicidal maniac and I claim the £5.
