    You handled the media airheads with style and aplomb.

    Was that a Clark kilt you were stitching up? Colours were hard to see on my screen.

    Just got done watching it, you did a better job than the reporter did. And, you knew you wouldn't get thru it without the "regimental" question.
    Happy St. Patrick's Day, Slainte!

    Yes, it is the Clark tartan I'm sewing. It's actually for an xmarkser.

    I knew I'd get the typical "yuk yuk joke questions" we always get, but Byron took it pretty seriously and I thought he looked pretty good (considering it was my kilt that was 2" too big and 1" too long for him).

    The "odd" part is that we cant hear the people in studio (just byron and the camera man had earpieces), so I wasn't aware of her questions / comments until I saw the show.

    All in all, I was very pleased.

    I was told there would be a link to it later this afternoon, which I'll post up here.

    Are there links posted yet? I'd like to see the interview.

    Not yet... here's the email I got from our contact Lulu at The 10 Show:

    Hi Rocky,
    The videos are stuck uploading into the right platform. You're right I have no idea what that mean...but I only know we won't have them until tomorrow.
    Sorry about the delay, but as soon as they are up, I'll let you know. Parts of the show have at least made it onto the web site, but unfortunately your segment and some other have not made it.
    Everyone at the station, from News Director on down, loved our live shot with you.
    Thanks again for everything, and I am so sorry that technology has let us down!


    I'll let you know when it goes up tomorrow.

    I saw it.
    Yes you appeared more capable than the Hallmark Holiday junior journalists* on the show.
    Scottish, Irish, it's all the same.
    The “regimental” reference went right over the gals heads.

    My favorite part was your “beer money” line. Been there and done that and have the t-shirt.

    Second place to “hoses” as the plural of hose.

    Third place: "Are there special shorts to go with that?"

    * I know. They're cute kids. Wish I had their salaries.

    I thought Rocky came off very well (knowledgable and personable), and you could tell that the reporter (Byron Scott) REALLY liked the way he looked in the kilt - I wondered if he ordered one? Rocky even handled the dreaded "regimental" question well. The female "reporters" in the studio were pretty much clueless, thought.
