Searching the dim and distant recesses of my aging brain I admit I've been to some of those parties, mostly at various nurse hostels. I see it as compensation for awful wages, that I'm in a profession that has 85% women and 90% of the remaining 15% are gay.
As a matter of interest one of my converts has become a casualty of the kilts killer effect on the ladies. He was out on Saturday in a Amerikilt and didn't get in till 3.30am everywhere shuts at 2am . So his wife isn't too happy about the attention he's getting, needless to say he's happy as Larry.
Cheers Rhino
