There are a lot of Scots in town for the Scotland-Ireland match. One of them was evidently under some pressure. He was standing at the Trinity end of Grafton street, with the leading edge of his kilt held up at about chest height, shouting "LOOK NAE! LOOK! SINCE YE ALL WANT TA! I'M WAERIN' BOXERRRS UNDERR HEEERE! BOXERRRRRS!"

Poor guy!

Recently I saw a photo of kilt-clad men marching in a parade--maybe the big St Patrick's Day one in New York. They were going over a grate of some kind--remember Marilyn Monroe's famous scene in "The Seven-Year Itch?"

They were so not wearing boxers. o_o

Every time I think about the fact that the Dalriadian Scots were from Ireland, I cannot understand how two such peoples can be so amazingly different.

hehehe. I had noticed lots of big blokes in kilts in town, alright, but didn't put two and two together until someone mentioned rugby (i.e. someone explained it to me :)

Trust me.. there are only so many times you can handle being asked what you're wearing under your kilt..... it's a strange phenomenon

So true... I went to WGW once wearing a William Wallace outfit with full traditional kilt (and very ersatz - made by myself at a total cost of about £8!), and had to wear pants. It was the North Sea coast in November, for Gods' sake! And yes, the number of people who (a) asked, and (b) mocked when they found out was bloody aggravating.

well - there's nothing worn under the kilt, it's all in good working order!

That's the sound of a man in a desperate need of a pint!

complete off-topic - have you made any decisions regarding the Farflung project - I accidently had an idea yesterday and might have something to write.
