    There is another quote defining a gentleman that I neglected to mention in my previous post.

    A gentleman is someone who knows how to play the bagpipes - but doesn't. That's funny but would offend some if it was said seriously in some quarters!





    I think we would settle it over a beer actually!
    Absolutely! And the first round is on that chap over there who doesn't understand that gentlemen respect each other all the more after a spirited discussion.

    You 2 can keep me amused for hours with your gentlemanly banter, it would be my pleasure to buy you both the first round.

    I agree completely and would offer the second round on me if such a situation were to occur.

    Back on topic I started kilt wearing firmly in the Dude wears kilt= regimental/true Scotsman etc
    however when I went down to Edinburgh to visit TFCK I got chatting to Howie who pointed out that not being regimental (with "Wee trews" or whatever you want to call them) saves having to clean your kilts so much more for the wool tanks not the lighter weight ones that can go in the washing machine UK's SWK's etc. So I’m at a cross roads just now not sure what to decide either way.

    Just my tuppence make what you will of this.

    He kens na where the wind comes frae,
    But he kens fine where its goin'.
