For those interested in the litany of falsehoods and reinventions of Highland culture, the bulk of Trever-Roper's takedown in The Invention of Tradition can be read on Google Books to judge for yourselves: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=sfvnNdVY3KIC&pg=PA28&dq=kilt+invention&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiGu_T2wuLuAhWygVwKHVXKCl0QuwUwAHoECAEQBQ#v=onepage&q&f=false Hide contents Bonus points if you had 'anti-Irish staunchness' on the Highland bingo card for this one. Happy to be schooled on the history of the Highlands and their fashions. Not something i know a lot about to be honest. I'll try to be more historically accurate with my light hearted quips in future. Incidentally, if i hadn't self-censored and gone with my original angle that it was cultural appropriation from tribes of uncivilised savages, would that have made you madder? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all they deserve to be in the top league you know. They seem to forget they're in tier 3 for reasons all of their own making.

Jimi Shandrix Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Bob Ross is great when you need cheering up. It's like audio and visual Sertraline. The "Apparently Kid" gives me the same happy glow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was beginning to think it was self parody and they were playing up to it. I've come back round to thinking they are utterly delusional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it would have been if any of them were daft enough to do it. I would only wear a tie with a suit and only in essential situations like court appearances, then only in the hope of a lighter sentence. There speaks the voice of experience. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanFan Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 13 hours ago, G51 said: Suits are relics of a bygone age. Wearing one for work is ridiculous unless you're a lawyer or something. For at least 95% of jobs you shouldn't be wearing anything flashier than a polo shirt and a pair of jeans. You're here to bring your damn lunch pail (did I use that right @AmericanFan), not to strut your stuff down a catwalk. Save your suit for special occasions, such as a close family members wedding or managing a football team in a cup final. Every time I see someone wearing a bow tie, I instantly assume they're registered with either the Conservative Party or the list of sex offenders. So unfortunately, a bow tie isn't an option. haha, right on, mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 guys who arrived to oversee my self-installation (from outside giving instructions due to covid) must have been pulling what's left of their hair oot as i was holding up cable after cable from behind the tv/sound system/sky box, only to have it confirmed almost all are no longer required. I'm also a coo wi' a gun with all things techy or electrical, so chapeau to the guys. Seems i'm all sorted now - well, it all seems to be working. Result. After 5 days and with no "Reminder" setting for (mainly football/current affairs) programmes, i'm now starting to wish i'd stuck with a new HD box rather than the newer "Q" box. I was unaware this function was not on the options, otherwise i'd have considered things differently. Anyone else been caught out by this, or am i the only luddite who expected it to be there ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 The Clyde Riviera looking resplendent today once again. Hard lines to those who foolishly chose to live in Lanarkshire or Falkirk instead and are locked into staring at that post-industrual hellscape. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
