This,
due to certain Members, is so stupid and ridiculous, I log-out. Play amongst yourself if you wish.

Mr tp wears trousers and suits. He would not look good in skirts, shorts or T-shirts.
My brother sometimes wears a skirt, rather like this:  |

Some of us have been lucky enough to see Mr Dough so attired. |

I'm inclined to think that the excitement Mort ( and Martle come to that!) is the knee , not the kilt???  A |

Indeed A!! It was a brill day though. You will find my discerning picture on that thread to!!
At band we have this boy of 14, who just happens to have the same name as my son(!), he has only been playing drum kit for about 15 months and someone he knew in the band reccomended him Our MD seems to think he be ok, but seems to be taking sometime to get into the rhythm of things. Surely would'nt 15 months be too soon to be joining a band or any type of group? I am trying my best to gibe him a few hints etc. perhaps he not dooing enough practice? Dunno really. Any takers?

Who is the man bbm talking about? Do we know him?
He looks like my trombone player, but younger version. It is amazing how similar they look.
May be I am wrong. Is it our own moderator Mr Dr Dr? I don't think so.
It is just a picture of a man wearing kilt. Sorry. I just don't understand what the message means.

tp, the man in the photograph wearing a kilt is Ron Dough. The photograph was taken by PW when some of us met up in Brighton this year for a concert featuring a work by Martle. BBM was there too.

Thank you, Morticia, very much. I thought so, but then I had doubts.
I saw the picture of Ron Dough a while ago from his trip, but they were too far away.
I am glad I can see him now. May be I will be less afraid. (on the other hand may be not).

Now I understand where I went wrong. I could not understand at all.
I am very bad in geography. Next time I will look at the map when I see where the letter is from.

t-p, The Egyptian Pharoahs wore kilts. So did Axel Rose of Guns 'n Roses, albeit a leather one.
Although not a traditional component of national dress outside Scotland, the kilt has become recently popular in the other Celtic nations as a sign of Celtic identity. Kilts and tartans can therefore also be seen in Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, Brittany, the Tras-os-Montes region in the North of Portugal, and Galicia in Spain, as well as parts of England, particularly the North East.
The St David's Tartan or Brithwe Dewi Sant is one of the most popular tartans in Wales. Its colours (green, red, and white) are the colours of the Welsh national flag.
There are currently 12 Breton tartans
Basically kilt wearing is cocking a snook at the English and establishing your own identity. I feel that a man in a kilt has a certain je ne sais quoi but it certainly enhances his masculinity.

It is surprising that you call the dress tartans.It is one letter different from Russian dress called kaftan.  I forgot how to make it smaller. This post could belong to another thread where we discussed similarites between languages. This is the second word I know that sounds similar if not the same. It is amazing. This dress is for a man. When did man start wearing trouses? Did we all wear dresses at first? |
