			old/new kilter
		
			
				
					Computer trouble, bad memory, could not remember mypassword etc when things got sorted out on my desk top.Someone,perhaps a robot, sent me a new password, which enabled me to log on again, but not to write any contributions, so, feeling frustrated, I decided the simplest thing was to re-register.
 I'm not competing with Graham for wordiness (I've been kilted longer than he has – that's what counts!), and I wouldn't even try to compete with Ham, the original Dashing White Sergeant, so it does not really bother me to be labelled "new", once again.
 Perhaps I'll send a pic one day so that you can compare with the one I sent when I was new at Tom's to see if I really am the same person.

 PS: the link to get a discount from the Kiltstore does not work – it just shuts my browser down!

					Between us (Especially Martin Fr)we have kilted in a lot of countries.
 Graham the conference and exhibkition is on medicinal chemistry.
 
 Back there again tomorrow, the last day.
 
 P.S.
 
 Will fly out still wearing the kilt, anybody had any issues at security???
 
 I guess I will have to remove the belt and Sporran for the Xray? And of course leave the lightning bolt kilt pin in the baggage?
 
 Cheers
 
 Martyn

					If you are wearing a traditional kilt with the buckles just know that you will be wanded, and then they will have to pat the area where your buckles are.
 No real problem.  I just made sure to give a little extra time to go through security.

					Had no problems at security, just removed my sporran and belt; all OK.

	All over the USA constitutes a lot of countries in it's self. Such a large country with many cultures so you may have Martyn beat after all.

Take care,

(PS: Next year I'll be able to add Canada to my list).
