    I have some llama wool that I'm trying to get spun into yarn. I'll let you know how it turns out.

    A sealskin kilt? NOT.
    I would go farther; when reading or hearing a report of every event of which I had personal knowledge, in every case the report was mistaken or misleading in some way. From that experience I must conclude that all other media reports are almost certainly inaccurate as well.

    Pretty broad generalization their friend. In 33 years in radio I have yet to screw up any report that I have originated. Granted I am not in the news end of things but when I have been thrust into that position, I always make sure the facts are in fact, facts. Reported nation wide a few years back when our towns lumbermill caught on fire, and didn't screw up one fact. It was 7pm and our newsman was gone. Last week our local art and history building caught fire and being as it was a block away from the station I was first media on the scene and broke the report ahead of everyone else. Unless I got bad info from the fire or police depts. I got it all straight. Now the paper, well, that's a whole 'nuther thing. Plus, in radio...we have no typos!

    Yeah, but on your side of the border it's no big deal. No Fair ! (just one thing amongst several that I can think of, actually).

    Not that I really wanted one anyway.

    Hard to believe that they have the extra resources to be doing this kind of thing as opposed to some other stuff they could be doing.

    Does this mean I have to worry about the Sporran Police as well as Kilt Police?
    Cryin' out loud... is this a case of your VAT dollars at work?

    Seal skin sporrans are bad enough...

    Could you imagine 8 yard kilts made of seal pelts? That's a lot of seals.
