"And if I laugh at any mortal thing,
′T is that I may not weep; and if I weep,
′T is that our nature cannot always bring
Itself to apathy, for we must steep
Our hearts first in the depths of Lethe′s spring,
Ere what we least wish to behold will sleep:
Thetis baptized her mortal son in Styx;
A mortal mother would on Lethe fix."
You know your Don Juan Marger .

I watched the Edinburgh Tattoo tonight.I realise it has to be brought up to the times, but I did miss the female dancers in their swirling tartan skirts. Shiny satin just didn′t work!! Times like this I become nostalgic that we′ve lost touch with the past My family are entitled to wear the Black Watch and Baird Tartans and think I′m the only person that knows it. Guess that′s life

Apart from the Hunting McFarlane which I wore as a boy , the Black Watch tartan is the only one I had. Not a matter of clan allegiance just ex-army kilts used for climbing and travelling abroad as a boy Scout
Many years ago now .
(Scots boy scouts do not wear trousers like Sassenachs), always the kilt)

Kym′s regiment is Scots. 10/ 27th. They all have a kilt which is part of uniform issue, worn for strictly for ceremonial occasions. They may even have done away with it now!!

Seems to me Gordon, if he is still connected with Spaceless, should advertise on some other message boards. Even if we got three new members it would keep it going!!!

Someone does do maintenance Marger but( dl) I suspect it is a bit more complex than that. I wish I could explain although I am really in the dark about it. The format ought to be highly attractive
