    I have no idea what's going on here...

    I found this online today. I have no idea what's going on, but it's quite old (1907).



    Enjoy!

    Cheers,
    Nick

    I've never heard it called a "pair of kilts" before...sounds a lot like a p@nts wearer wrote that.

    There was a famous Ukulele Banjo player called George Formby who sang a song about a window cleaner.

    Lines such as:

    At eight o' clock the girl she wakes
    At five past eight her bath she takes
    At ten past eight me ladder breaks
    When I'm cleaning winders!


    now it's a case of:

    "At eight o' clock the wind it blows
    At five past eight my secret goes
    At ten past eight the whole world knows
    When I'm cleaning winders!

    People all the time want to pluralize the kilt. I often have people say, "I see you're wearing your kilts today!" And I want to reply, "Nope, just one of them!"

    Good photo, I have always heard the plural for kilt is "the kilt" but I have heard the same thing Matt.

    I'm confused about where he's hidden his right leg.
    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    EEK! Where'd he get the breeks? The picture does look like a young George Formby, and it would appear that his kilt is on wrong way 'round.
