Many members of this Association are students and loads of other people under the age of 30 - but there are some members who are over 80 and still traipse around all the sites and excavations! Fun people all of them!

"The Roman Bathhouse"...

Ok, I won't make any jokes, it would be too easy. That, and I do have a long-term crush on Damian. ;)

I was looking for Scottish men to have an idea of how Damian looks, and I found this interesting website.

Damian, have you ever worn a kilt? Do you look good in it? I'm very interested to hear your answer.

I'm well aware that real people mumble occasionally, Robin Michael. I was just telling Damian not to do so in America as it is considered very rude, and would make him more difficult to understand.

Dear Laura Braun

Damian almost certainly has got a kilt. Kilts are quite widely worn in Scotland on special occasions and sometimes in town during the day. My Ceroc teacher who is from the Ukraine had a very expensive kilt made. However it did not feature a traditional tartan.

Once when we were queuing at the check in for a flight to Poland we saw an elderly man wearing a kilt with his wife. The kilt was of a pin strip design.

My partner thought he looked very funny and started to laugh and snicker, which a number of other people in the queue found a little distasteful. Needless to say it was a Polish man who had spent a lot of money in a specialist outfitters.

My son hired a kilt for a special party when he graduated from high school, the local academy. My former partner belongs to an ancient clan of proud warriors and cattle thieves.

What is a 'southpaw'? Damian

Is it the same as a 'south mouth'?



Something for Laura:

When we visited Germany my female partner was taken to one side in the Bath House and told that her attire was inappropriate. She would only be allowed back into the sauna if she was completely naked.

A "southpaw" in the US is a left-handed person.

I don't think Laura Braun wrote that post about Damian. The, uh, style, was markedly different from her usual writing.

Maybe Damian can wear a kilt when he meets Uriel. That would be cool.
They can post a picture for us here.

LOL

I know a Scottish guy who comes from a family of horse theives. It's probably a different clan. I wonder if Scots know the tartans well enough to remember which were the thieving clans.

all of them were thieving...
