Sitting in a cold van watching those appartments.

On my time off I was often kilted. Well in the PX one day a little teeny bopper Army dependant called me "An old perv." behind my back. At that moment I really regreted having spent so very many hours keeping her alive.

Thanks to X-Marks today I have a lot of snappy come-backs, like "I'm not old" but at the time I was just seathing mad.
Hello Sir Robert. Living in darkest Kent (U.K.) I'm used to 'skirt' comments - although, oddly enough, they always seem to come from women. Most chaps are either genuinely interested in the origin of the tartan - or just plain ol' envious that they don't have a kilt in their sartorial collection.

For what it's worth, I admire your self restraint re the nasty comment. Good Man !

yours cordially,

Frank
