A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall The Critter Corner just for thorny

couldn't resist!

One shocked cat there. Too cute!

Hahaaaa! It IS true! My son-in-law is from Scotland and DOES wear kilts! He has sent me pictures of other men in kilts on WINDY days and it is obvious......THEY WEAR NOTHING UNDERNEATH THE KILT! He will be here PERMANENTLY two weeks from today.

Nothing! That's a bit too much Frrrreeeeeedom for my liking. No wonder they called that guy Braveheart!

Aye, tis true. They gae aroon wi' nae but thar pintles an' 'nads a showing un
ter thar kilts, sez Paul.

If there's one group of English- speaking people I struggle to understand it's the Scots, but I got the gist of that message!

Actually, you might feel the same way about us. It was funny the other day when our deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard visited some schools in Washington, and the kids asked her if we speak English in Australia. (Just between you and me, we don't all sound like Julia).

Paul tells me there are THREE different levels of Scottish. The heaviest, although pure English, is nearly impossible for a non-Scot to understand. Paul is fluent in all three dialects. He have me a Scottish-English Dictionary to translate. That's what I used to translate my comments into HEAVY Scottish.

you'd think no undies would be uncomfortable.

I'm sure people from other places wonder if we're speaking English here too.

Don't worry, you are all pretty understandable to us. But what is funny is when Americans try to do an Aussie accent- we can almost tell it's meant to be us, but it is hilarious! Anyway, I guess we've done some pretty bad American accents as well.

Theres only a handful like thorn,trying to do that stuff .

Me I try to be Polish, cause both of my ends are..LOL

I speak perfect English, only time I dont is when an aussie laughs.LOL

Hi dodge,

Thorn is becoming an expert on the Scots. I don't think kilts and haggis will take off in Tennessee though!

I'm sure your English is better than mine!

My daughter tasted Haggis and says it's not bad. I think kilts just might take off here in Tennessee. EVERYBODY, men and women seem to like them here. All it would take would be for ONE good looking, cool, BRAVE, young man to wear the FIRST one in public and within a month or two ALL men would be wearing them.

Thorn has too much time on his hands.

Like to see him hauling Manure in a kilt..LOL

Barb: I think you are correct on both counts.

and Thorny do you think this is the right time of year to be thinking of trying to get amybody to wear a kilt??---

I hear in tennessee anything goes.

Maybe thorn is a seamstress and wants Orders?????????????

LOL

I've ACTUALLY been looking at a cotton duck "UTILITY" Kilt with large cargo pockets in my size, in a catalog for about $100.00. These are quite popular in Scotland.

Nae, Kilts stan aboot £200.00 - £300.00.

mAYBE YOU AN son in law ought to just swap houses.......He is kilting you ..LOL

Thorn, I think you just might be the right man for the job! And a new chain of McHaggis restaurants would be a huge success.

McHAGGIS!!!...Two grains (oats and barley) boiled together with minced spleens, hearts, kidneys, all stuffed into a sheep's stomach and baked in an oven to form a DELICIOUS golden loaf! Be sure to Super-size yours today!

I think you should go for it Thornius.

My neighbor wears the utility kilts with large cargo pockets. I still think they look funny. I'd rather see a dress kilt any day.

Thorn



Do you butcher the sheep first?

b

I guess...I've never made Haggis before...nor have I eaten it. They buy it in cans at the supermarkets in Scotland.
