coincidences

[benkilt]

While looking around my nearest town the other week, I spotted an antique silver kilt pin, the first I'd ever seen in the 'flesh'. 3 to 4 inch claymore, with a shield in the middle of the blade. Lovely looking pin, £12, so I'll save up Then yesterday on the net I spotted about four very similar antique, silver kilt pins, claymores with shields mid-blade, one with a lion's head and another with a saltire on it. All went for around £15-16 with p&p. Then in the one auction was a WW1 black watch army issue kilt, very battered and forlorn, moths and barbed wire had taken their toll, and it looked like it had spent the last eighty odd years on someone's garage floor! About four hours later, I spotted a Boer War, army issue black watch kilt, much better condition, and amongst the seller's other items were the belts, hose and underpants to go with it, go figure

It is on your mind, and your mind is telling you to get one. It is not nice to fool around with the mind on these matters, so you better get that coincidental pin.

Underpants???

Doesn't everyone own a couple of pairs of antique underpants?

I have a half drawer full of antique underpants, soft worn cotton boxers, that I now use for polishing the car and truck!

Underpants???

I seem to remember reading somewhere that officers were issued some sort of underpants. Ahh! here's the link. http://www.bobdunsire.com/ubbthreads...page=0&fpart=2

This guy's pretty reputable, I believe.
