    I have found that when I go BOO! it is quite effective. I do believe it is because of how my dreadlocks floof out from the sudden head gesture. It is as though a writhing mass of serpents suddenly woke up.

    Well it does go to prove that kilts are becoming more common in the Hague, if there was a kilted rabble in the same hotel just the previous night to your arrival. The only kilts I've ever seen in Holland were being worn by the group I was with when we went to Alphen-ad-Rijn for a weekend on a town twinning visit. Its a shame though that irresponsible klit wearers get us all a bad name. As others have hinted, we need to have an xmarkers meet in this hotel to prove that some kilties can behave impeccably.

    Yes they're from Scotland (I was told)...the newly wed couple lives in The Hague (expats, UN employees or diplomatic service I guess).

    The Scots getting out of hand at a party? I'm sure that's never happened before!

    Naughty! We must only use the power of the kilt for good, never evil.


    Great story Robin!
