Are you a short shortie?

Me in1972 with wife and big chief of Customs and Excise. Note an important accessory, the sgian dhu which has been banned now as an offensive weapon. View attachment 595731

Many years ago, on a company jolly doing dragon boat racing in Aberdeen, we stayed at a hotel called the Skean Dhu. Guess the exact spelling varies a little.

There was an upmarket burger joint in Aviemore called The Skiing Doo. Gaelic is often misspelled particularly place names.

My Kilts , not hired (Anderson) and homemade camo

The one on the right is far too short but the rest ok. No shorts underneath of course so you have to be careful sitting down.

Surely that's not a real photo?!? Not the Duke?

It's real. Taken in Acapulco in about 1959.

Yes that is my camo one, nice and light for the summer, sorry at £600 I always wear knickers and good job too as the amount of people that have tried to lift my kilt

A well known hazard of kilt wearing.

What really use to annoy me was with children, egged on by the bloody parents, I had a go at one in church and he said “it's only a bit of fun”, OK next Sunday I'll do it to your wife...............

If they are female I take them gently by the hand and suggest we adjourn somewhere more private. Never found one yet who agreed.

Probably changed the spelling to suit the pronunciation for non Gaelic speakers.

I don't normally watch football, but I did watch a couple of Euro champs matches (not England - that stresses me too much!) this week. The players all seem to have long shorts and socks up to, or even over their knees. I'm sure they didn't used to be quite like that.....

Being an observer of football fashion/strips/kits i remember the start of the 1990/91 football season,when all of a sudden footballers ditched the short shorts for almost knee length ones.

I have a slight confession to make.

Yes......cargo(ish) shorts!
