Al wroteSo, hows about trying to meet up for a few beers?
Sounds good to me Al we'll see what we can do, looks like it needs to be the 15th if we're to catch KML, which is Wednesday. I'll check on flights ands accomodation and get back to you both.

Not a great deal, I was talking to Howie on the mile one day and a girl from the US asked if they were kilts, we'd both got pinstripes on (just by chance) and before either of us could answer her boyfriend (Glaswegian) sneered 'no they're skirts'. It must have been disconcerting to have 2 fairly hefty blokes laughing at him in the street, so he became defensive and quoted some 'rules' for wearing kilts. At this point Howie answered with the best answer to this I've heard. He said and I'm trying to quote verbatum 'But I'm wearing this kilt like you'd wear a pair of jeans. Nobody can tell you how to wear a pair of jeans'. Just seemed to make perfect sense at the time and what I've tried to say, and failed, before.
Funnily enough I was kilted less there than I was the week before, at work.
Hope we can work out a night in Edinburgh
