    Kilts are like arrows.

    On the business end is the arrowhead -- the Tank.

    On the stability end are the feather[weight]s.
    Hmm, doesn’t make sense…

    And those in the middle get the shaft…?

    Wait. Let me think of a better analogy….

    Those might have been the second lot - if you press a man made fibre at the wrong temperature the result is either no effect or melted.

    I have to report that - (having not been well recently - just a nasty reaction to the flu jab I think) - I found a haggis in the bottom of the freezer, and having cooked it, peeled it, poured on some whisky and eaten it - I felt much better.

    I used to make clothing on commission, but not any longer. When I get asked to make things for less than the cost of the materials it just doesn't make sense. The only people I work for are an ad agency - they know the value of anyone who can take an idea and turn it into something solid.

    OK - I should have said, "There are at least two sides to every issue!"
