    That "The Argus" Article

    Just to let you know (as if anyone was interested!) that Nigel, over at IMFF.NET, has now scanned last week's article with photos from the Sussex newspaper: "The Argus". He has placed it as a sub-album within my Photo Album at his site.

    Here's the link: http://albums.imff.net/album04

    Clicking on the images, as with any in my album, enlarges them. The main page and the text extract can be enlarged several times.

    I should point out (and I am not making excuses) that not everything I am quoted as saying in that interview is strictly true ...... the reporter, whilst doing a good and fair job, has tended to quote me in his own words!!!

    Hamis,

    Is there anyway you could post the article on the forum? I can't get your photo gallery to open for me.

    Brilliant Hamish, you did well, I've not read it all yet (but will), the photos look great....but...they HAD to get that S word in there didn't they!!!

    The paper did the same to me here.

    Most excellent Hamish. Thanks for getting it for us. As for the s-word. As for me...they're forgiven, they recovered well.

    That is an interseting article. Do you think the article will make an impact in getting more men in kilts?

    Nice one Hamish. It would be interesting to see if there is any feedback to the Argus from their readers.

    Bwahahahaha!

    That part about the lorry drivers finding you attractive made me laugh pretty hard.

    Great article Hamish! Thanks for getting us a digital copy. It made my day.
