    That's a decent attempt CK! Practice mkes perfect though!

    Hey cousin,

    I'm liking that tartan, seems a larger sett and not as "busy" as the generic Macdonald.

    Nothin' wrong with that Hamish.

    And the outfit is a killer, so who'd notice if there was?

    I'm sure Ham could make a small fortune running courses in "Hamishing"

    It's not a pose I have yet found the courage to try!

    Well, McMurdo just about sums it up, Mr. Kelly. A very nice attempt however, and I am indeed flattered by it. Shake off that nervousness, my friend. Forget the audience out there - they're just rows of cabbages anyway - and let yourself go.......

    So YOU are the one who is missing from the files! I've been trying to work out who it is!! Come on now, let's put a stop to this nonsensical shyness. I want that photo on my desk by mid-day tomorrow!

    As for making "a small fortune", I rather doubt it. A while back I tried copyrighting the 'Hamish' and announced that it could be adopted only with my prior permission but, you know, they still got around it and pirated versions were flooding the market! So I reluctantly gave in.

    I still have a dream of making it into a spectacular stage show however, "Hamish - the musical!" As soon as I can 'get' a Broadway or West End theatre, I will start auditioning for my perfect cast, so be prepared and get practicing. I can see it now: an imaculate line-up of maybe 50 kilties Hamishing down stage to the footlights for that final bow! Standing ovations at every sell-out performance. The following year, a world tour with appearances in the largest auditoria (as our 100+ line-up of kilties will be too large for normal theatres). Oh! Oh! Yeeeesssss! It is bound to happen: new stars will be made overnight. Fame and fortune will be ours - yours and mine! Oh! Oh! Oh, yeeeessss!!

    Sorry, but I think I need to lie down for a while - on my own - in a darkened room............

    I'd pay for a ticket.

    Heck, I'd ask for a part maybe.
