I see Britney and Paris are not such trend setters as they imagine.

Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.

I hope he had more than what he was graced with at birth!!

Those kilts are mostly for ceremonial reasons now. They aren't cheap. You have to be a really big and strong dude to wear that uniform. I was at Edinburgh Castle to watch tryouts for the Games once. Those dudes were big.

Do you know how to slap a cute red-head's rear end and get her into my lap?

The usual British prejudice against the Scots, men whose families have defended Britain for many centuries.

The Scots will soon stand down, because there is no longer a community based Scottish Regimental system.

The Brits know they will stand down, and the Socialist government is trying to save money.

The reason the Brits do not want a community based regimental system is that the soldiers from it are not maleable enough, they know right from wrong, and speak up about it. The Brits want silent warriors, who do as they are told and keep quiet about it, and who cannot organize community politics in opposition to governmental liberal socialist faux pas at home and abroad.

Its the greening of the British military, which soon will be little better than a semi-armed peace corps, with a one button nuclear option. Very dangerous in todays world of Islamofascist community based jihad warriors.Now the Brits will not have a community based military to fight the strongly community strengthened jihadis. The Brits have traded their strength for weakness against a strong urban community based adversary. When the proverbial shite hits the fan, as it most assuredly will, and civil strive mounts in Britain thanks to the Islamofascists, the British military will not have the necessary community strength to cope with it.

I’m not sure if I understood. Is that decision a ‘market-driven’ one? For example, have they chosen a shop and a kind of kilts for every soldier? If they have, they should consider options like this:

Share their kilts? At the same time, lol? Concurrent or not, that would be the one time that wearing undergarments with the kilt would be the better choice.

Thanks for that, I haven’t heard that for 20 years. It was on the Dr Demento show.

But I swear it was “Scotsman clad in kilt and tam,...”
