Mister James Brown would be delighted to be included, though I suspect that he would like to find himself greatly involved with the ladies of the team and that any sort of plot could go hang as far as he's concerned.

He is, however, very useful.

He does have his own kilts now. He seems to have acquired several kilt suits in different pinstripes and tweeds, plus several sets of kilted mess kit and uniform, and seven or eight outfits which I suspect Hamish has had a hand in assembling.

He has even perfected traces of various accents suitable for the tartans, so that he has the perfect persona for each one.

I'm not sure that he had these when I left at the beginning of the month - he can do that sort of thing, but only when he wants to. It is a good thing that he has some principles.
