Visiting old friends

[Graham]

I went visiting some church people on the weekend I'd not seen for a while, there were two families in the house when I arrived.

Not a word was said about my kilt, but they were polite and friendly.
Doesn't it annoy you when people say NOTHING, it makes you wonder what's going on in their minds.

Graham, the only time the silent treatment bugs me is when the people are staring but don't have the ba**s to say anything to you. To me that is like having someone staring at me and I wonder if I have something hanging from my nose, or from my Kilt for that matter.

Yes it does annoy me, especially right now. The St. Andrew's Society I am in will have a Celtic Festival on May 8. I am trying to do my part in advertising for it by wearing my kilt everywhere I go. I keep a stack of my St. Andrew's business cards to hand out. Nobody approaches me about my kilt. I maybe 6'4" and 300lbs, but I don't look too scary.

I have just come back from a legal conference at which I arrived kilted ( much more comfortable for long car journies). I wore a kilt ( I took two) for all of the social events in the evenings, and for the last morning of the conference.

Everybody complemented me and one chap who has a kilt in the Duff tartan has promnised to wear it at the next social event.
