    Are you a Kilted Curmudgeon?

    Have your every referred to a younger person/people as a "whippersnapper" , "young punk" , or "those darn kids" ?

    Have you ever threatened to turn the sprinklers on someone for walking on your lawn?

    Have you ever said "bring me my bourbon or I'll hit you with my stick?"

    Do you own a rocking chair?

    Have you ever been described as "crusty" or "grizzled"

    If so you may just be a curmudgeon

    If you own a kilt then you are a Kilted Curmudgeon

    Having chatted with Steve Ashton (The Wizard of BC), Robert Pel* (Canuck), and Rocky Roeger (RockyR) over the last week or so I have begun to wonder just how many Kilted Curmudgeons are there on XMTS?

    I thought it would be fun to set up a poll and find out

    Kilted Curmudgeons of XMTS stand and be counted!



    Cheers

    Jamie

    Well I have watered the garden path (using a wide sprinkle aimed in the air) on occasions when you get sales people Jehovee's etc coming to the gate. Have been know to chase kids and get into arguments about next doors cat.

    I think that makes me 7. A veritable old charmer positively brimming with Irish charm rather than Scottish gruffness. Thank goodness for my multicultural family.
