Dr. Livingston I presume?

**McMurdo** · 16th July 08, 09:20 AM

Yesterday I had 3 packages delivered, today it was 2 however I am just as pleased, for today I received my British Army issue number 2 dress khaki shirt, from ebay and my Wolseley Pith Helmet from the Village Hat Shop, as I do not have a Black Watch kilt I teamed them up with the Gordon Highlander kilt and khaki hose from What Price Glory. I feel as though I am ready to explore the Dark Continent in search of Dr. Livingston, a tad theatrical no doubt however I do think it shall help at the Fergus Highland Games.

I wonder will the Wolseley Pith Helmet and Khaki Shirt become the "Uniform" of the Moderating Staff?

I think the khaki works very well with the Gordon tartan.

By the by

Welcome to the regiment!

I should think that the XMTS Highland Explorer Corps is open to all.

See you at the officers club

Cheers

Oh noes!
Now I definitely have to get a job in the U.S.P.S. just so I can get a pith helmet and catch up!

Looking very, very smart, Glen.

You know, you lot are looking suspiciously like you're auditioning for a re-make of "Abbot and Costello Meet the Mummy".

...that or "Carry On Up The Khyber".

I suspect that Panache is gearing up for another expedition and is getting his crew outfitted.

I must say I'm just a bit alarmed at all these pithy developments. Next there will be a run on swagger sticks on Ebay. Maybe we can subvert them with gin.

No need to worry, all we need to do is issue the "pithy ones" a raw onion each to hang around their necks and a volume of the Greek classics to read and they will soon come to their senses!Well,that's assuming they have senses.

I'd also like an alarm clock for my wrist

**Panache** · 16th July 08, 10:43 AM

Don't forget the onion on the string around your neck.

Seriously though, it is a bit theatrical but no more so than the "Jacobite look" (and far more practical in the heat of summer).

I'm sorry Stanley, you haven't found me yet.
