Cheers **Frannie**! 🙂 Hmmm, well the authors name put me off already! I don’t understand people with surnames like Tartt, Pratt, Gimping-ButtMunch. I’d change it if it were me! 😉 Might give it a try though, I’ve bugger all else to read at the moment. ---

We’ve done a BrumDope before so I guess we might be able to manage another one. > \*\* Ooohhh… BrumDopes! I can organise those. I’m good at organising those! 😃 Seriously though, its a shame you can’t make it **Dawne** , but there will be others, and we might even manage a BrumDope. But I doubt it’ll be for a while yet - we’ve got two LonDopes still to go. 🙂 Oh, and I _finally_ got my camera hooked up to my computer. I hoped to find lots of silly piccies from the last LonDope, but they’ve all gone. The silly camera’s deleted them all, and I don’t know why. Still, I shall bring the camera on the 24th. I could do with some blackmail material for you lot. 😃 ---

I’m gonna bring the work camera, if only so I remember what went on. visual aids often help in piecing together my raggedy arse memory of most all dayers, like what Ian did with the last one. I’ll have to e-mail them to Tir or someone though. I’m no web person. ---

However, anyone trying to take embarrasing photos of me, will be in trouble. There’s enough on the web for goodness sake! ---

Sorry for the late reply, guys, I’ve not been near a computer all weekend. Some very earnest suggestions on the clothing issue, I see, and some very disturbing mental images as well. What is it about kilts that drives women mad? I might yet be tempted into one, but then i’d have to keep my legs primly crossed all evening. In all seriousness, though, I wouldn’t dream of inflicting the sight of my legs on any of you, so it’s solid, sturdy jeans for me. I’m still trying to shed a few holiday pounds before I see you all, and my new regime consists primarily of cutting right down on all the cheese I normally love, and completely forgoing all the fried or baked goodies I normally get from the brekkie van at work every morning. I draw the line at drinking sugar-free Red Bull, though - that stuff is just nasty. ---

I draw the line at drinking red bull altogether. horrible smelly shite that it is. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by paulberserker \* > \*\*I draw the line at drinking red bull altogether. horrible smelly shite that it is. \*\* The sugar free stuff tastes like nasty vile cough medicine. And **Bib** , what is it about kilts that drives women wild? I honestly don’t know. It just does OK? It may have something to do with association. Kilt =\> Scottish =\> damned sexy accent! So, it could be that. Otherwise, I’m at a loss. Men just look damned hot in kilts. Especially when they’ve got the dressed up jackets and stuff to go with it. 😃 I had a friend who was Chairman of the University Scots and Irish Society, and was invited to the Burn’s Night Supper and Cedilah once. All I will say is rowr. 😉 ---

Is it the sight of manly legs, perhaps? Or maybe the easy access? 😃 And keep that wax the hell away from me, too! ---

I think (straight) women like men in kilts because they bring you tantalisingly close to those man-bits, while still keeping them covered up. Your imagination has got lots to work on. It’s the same as the way that a woman in a low-cut top - or a skirt with a slit in the side that reveals a glimpse of thigh as she walks along - is sexier than a woman butt-naked. Though those are damn sexy too, of course. ---
