Reconsidering...

[beloitpiper]

So after such an amazing night last Sunday wearing my kilt around Galway, I decided to impliment a new "Friday Kilt Night" rule, where I would wear my kilt out every Friday.

Ehh, not such a good idea.

I wore it out last night. 3 lifts and an argument with an Aussie. I'm thinking I'll just save it for quiet nights and my time in Scotland (which will be next weekend!!!!!).

Perhaps you should consider "Kilted Sundays" since that was a success?

[Archangel]

That's a shame. I've never had such bad experiences (which doesn't mean I'm particularly blessed and you're not).
Don't let it discourage you. Maybe find the next level up in class for next weekend, you and her deserve it now.

That's bad luck, Greg.
Mind if I ask what the argument was about?

Hopefully you'll have loads of fun being kilted here.

Well,

Too bad we don't know in advance when a kilt lift is gonna happen. If I did I'd don a gift from a Valentine's Day of yore. Black boxers with red satin hearts all over them.

Lift away!

Those were some harsh reactions, the good news is that people adjust after a time (and all in their own time) and the reactions cease. Don't know how much of that you are willing to go through though.

Maybe some other kilties will come out and spread the "work". Best of luck in the future. I have only had one lifting, and that was an old friend who is always a flirt. Her husband and my wife were both there so it was just a good laugh for all.

Strangers, that is a different story. Good on ya for being able to post this morning instead of finding out what the local jail serves for breakfast. Decent work there.

The Aussie, after hearing my American accent, said, "Hey, you're not Scottish! You shouldn't be wearing the kilt!" to which I replied, "Hey, you're an Aussie, you shouldn't be wearing those jeans!"

Hehehehe!! That's an excellent comeback!

And, as an Aussie, I'm ashamed and embarrassed by the behaviour of a fellow Australian... although, in all honesty, we have our fair share of uneducated, loud-mouthed, ignorant, unwashed masses in this country.

All I can say is: please don't judge all Aussies by that one example - some of us are decent people.

Well Greg, of course the decision rests with you, all the best while you are over there, perhaps you will be able to go kilted elsewhere without provoking the ire of the locals, but then again you never know. Good luck with it.
