Branson's publicity stunt
I see that there was a picture of Richard Branson in a red kilt on page 88 of the Mail on Sunday. Not sure that his black jacket goes with the kilt and having the sporran on his right hip is decidedly non-standard. And his publicity stunt when he lifted up his kilt .... Typically self-publicist Bran...

Re: Skirts and the "Wizzard of Oz"...
I heed the message and I am not the problem as I have said elsewhere. Maybe I could show it to MOH. I'll think about it but it's a good post.

Re: Just saw this on FaceBook
I don't mind long skirts but these aren't for me. The long ones I have are tiered but not like these. I like the colour of the purple one though.

Re: I went on holiday and in my trunk I packed ...
The more formal occasions I was thinking of were mealtimes. I have skirts that go well in a formal situation but generally with a jacket and I didn't want to take a jacket. But you are right, I suppose that even mealtimes could be skirted as well. A whole holiday skirted - that would be beyond my ex...

Re: The Great British Sewing Bee
I'm not suggesting that anyone make trousers Cylr. I was just commenting on how much work goes into making them. It's surely a point against trousers as opposed to making a skirt which is a lot easier.

Re: Windows 8 -- Just shoot me now.
What's the traditional company going to use for its accounts and other processing? The Win8 tablet type interface doesn't work so well for that type of work. Does that mean that there will still be the PC and tablet dichotomy?

Re: I went on holiday and in my trunk I packed ...
Next holiday I am going to take skirts to wear. Have been thinking about it for the last two and this time I'm going to. We'll be away from everyone else so why not? Maybe not all the time but certainly on the informal occasions.

Re: Skirt Designs..
The problem with the office skirt sith its flat front panel is that we men have a distinct bulge in a place where women don't! I have the same problem when I wear a tightish bodycon type skirt. I think that the bulge can be noticeable when I wear certain shorts or tight trousers or even swimming cos...

The Great British Sewing Bee
I was watching a programme called "The Great British Sewing Bee" last night. I think it was on BBC2. It is styled on the Masterchef format but applied to sewing. One of the tasks that thery were given was to add a couple of patch pockets to a pleated grey skirt. I didn't realise that so mu...

Re: no skirts with children?
The phrase involving asylum, running and inmates seems ti spring to mind. Applies in lots of areas apart from this. How many times have you read a "you couldn't make this up."

Re: Fascinating Medical Advances using your cell phone!
The recording aspect is amazing - from heart monitoring through blood pressure and, for me as a diabetic, glucose measurement. All well and good but just as automated tools has destroyed a lot of the real creativity in computing the next step in this medical monitoring is to hook up the output to an...

Re: no skirts with children?
Yeah Cltrn, You don't know the half of it. I do understand and my son is considering whether to go for full residency. We have received a copy of a CAFCAS ( Children And Family Court Advisory And Support Services ) report and it makes disturbing reading about his ex-wife. The whole situation makes w...

Re: Men in Skirts "Common in Five Years"???
I liked that the skirts were tiered or "ra-ra" type skirts which are more associated with the other sex. They were short, yes, and glimpses of underwear. Only one of them wore tights and it wasn't one of the girls! Not sure that the tap-dancing was real though as they seemed to be trainers...

Re: no skirts with children?
I agree with Cylr on this. The pictures are all of kilts which are a special case and acceptable and I think even MOH would agree to me wearing a kilt. Maybe. But logic on wearing a skirt around children seems to fly out of the window on this one. MOH seems to fear the opinions of others more than a...

Re: no skirts with children?
Cltrn, I sort of agree with you there. I can wear my skirts around my grand-daughters because, I think that they've seen me many times in one. But MOH objects to wearing a skirt around my grand-son even though he has seen me in one. I think that in my wife's mind the girls wear a skirt but my grand-...
