    Ooooh... That's not good.

    Too low to be covered with a sporran.

    It might suit someone into the punk or Goth thing.

    A sad day indeed!

    Sad Sad News, just be thankful it was not one of your wool ones--can you claim on the insurance, tell them it was wool, not that I would do something like that.

    Very sad. It looked like a nice kilt.

    Halogen lamps aren't especially popular in the US these days because they have been the source of many house fires. Please consider replacing the halogen bulb or, if this isn't possible, the entire lamp.

    My sincere condolences, Robertson. I am wearing my black arm-band as a mark of respect.

    Sorry for your loss. Being the Black Watch tartan in must have fought with great valor in the face of certain death. Could it possibly be salvaged as a work kilt with some patch work? For work that does not involve high heat of course.

    There must be a ceremony somewhere for the destruction of a damaged Kilt. Much like the ceremonial burning of a flag that has been damaged. I will take a minute tonight and have a moment of silence in memory of P1M's Black Watch. We will all remember it with great fondness.

    Ahhh, just tell people it got too hot under your kilt and that is what happened.

    Sorry for the loss, but just think if it fell when you weren't near by and the lamp was on.

    DALE.

    You don't have to be Scottish to be comfortable!
