Advice on belts

Oh - yes, and a handy pocket for monitor/keyboard cleaning tissues might be a good idea for when reading X marks messages.

I'm a regular subscriber to the OhGizmo! RSS feed, so I see all of their new toys and gadgets as they get posted.

This morning has a new belt buckle that looks like it could work nicely as a kilt belt buckle.

let me clarify...

avoid cowboy buckles the size of a frying pan, with rhinestones and tassles and all that gaudy $^@#%^@#.

That first call was... exciting.

Now the question is, how many times did you ask the caller to CALL BACK!

I believe her response to my complaint was, "Oh, dear. I guess we'll have to find some way to deal with that."

Fairly certain I'll not be getting that one. For some reason, that much technology that close to me bits & pieces doesn't sounds right.

with all the press (true or otherwise) on cell phone radiation and brain cancer, can you imagine ipod radiotion and hmm......under-the-kilt cancer?

besides, if kilts were made to play music they would come with built-in bagpipes

I take it you don't keep a cellphone in the sporran, either?

I don't - for several reasons, one of which I've already mentioned.

Thanks

I get all mine (currently, six black with chrome buckles, and five brown with brass buckles) from Village Leathers, a stall in London's Covent Garden Market (Jubilee Market building). Average price: £13.00. If necessary, they will change the buckles over for you whilst you wait.

Sorry Andy, I know this is not going to help you, but it might be of interest to anyone in Southern England!
