Edinburgh tattoo

[captainbovine]

just been watching it...there's something about a swinging sporran that's rather sexy don't you think?

oooh I say!!!!!

[bitsnknots]

I know what you mean CB.  Have you ever been to watch it live?  We've been three times and the atmosphere is brilliant.

[captainbovine]

no I haven't Chris but it looks amazing. I love the way they light up the castle walls with the lights etc. They did that to Conwy castle a couple of years ago. We looked out of the window and there was a hoooooge dungeon with a skeleton hanging out of it, and pumpkins all over the place.

That wouldn't have been at Halloween would it CB?  Don't know what made me think that.

Have been to the Cardiff tattoo and was fab

Only like to watch swingin sporrans to see if the kilts lift IYKWIM

[twishy123]

The thought is better than the actual event Stan....especially if it's cold.....

[chickengrandma-2008]

I expect they weight the sporrans to hold the skirts kilts down!

My son went to a Scottish Uni and when it came to graduation day ...........................................

PHWORRRRRRRRRRR

I found myself having to watch where me eyes kept lowering to.

I should add that my son wore a suit with trousers - I realised as I hit 'Post' that it might not come out the right way.

[chickengrandma-2008]

Mmmm.   

[aernethril]

That's the kind of thing - but with even more accessories.

bad stan >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> slaps hand and goes to sit on the naughty step

Something very sexy & masculine about the kilt & when the men are in full dress code they look very smart, some of the clan tartans are lovely colours, I also went to a Scottish Uni & so got quite used to seeing them every day in town,
Still prefer a hairy chest like CB does, but Hey! Not half bad!!. lol. ooooo! Hairy knees, lol.
Back on the subject, I missed the Edinburgh Tattoo which is a shame cos I love all that it stands for.
Wonder if he'd mind if I offered to adjust his sporran?.

[captainbovine]

you'll have to get in the queue hahahaha...

Stan...move up on that step, I'll be joining you shortly!!

We went many years ago (before children), would love to go again but I'm not sure about managing with the wheelchair - it does complicate arrangements.

I might look at it after my op is done and I know how mobility will be affected

[rainydaywoman11]

I have only been to the Tattoo once and agree with all that has been said.

It is so atmospheric, the way the ramparts are all lit, and all the flags flying.

They do have arrangements for wheelchair users Stroppy, but you'd have to endure that bumpy ride, over cobbles, up the wee hill.

I am an hour away from Edinburgh, visitors welcome!

Ohhh STOP it ladies,,,,oh alright dont,,,,,,LOL. That picture looks just my type of man rugged and wonderful. He can swing his Sporran in my direction any day... Ohhh Wheres my fan im getting all hot and bothered.

Thats the only one out of the four(England,Ireland,Scotland,Wales) that ive not visited yet!!!. I did not realize Wales would be a Castley place so to speak. I like the Mediaeval Spirit and the Gypsyish sort of feel around Castles. Ill have to come and visit then!!.

[saasher2012]

I've got a castle Rose just across the road from me!.
I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong but my understanding is that Wales has more Castles than anyone?

[rose2008-2008]

Ohhhh we do actually have a Castle in Maidstone well at Allington which is a place by the River Medway about 15minutes from where i am. BUT,,i dont think ive EVER been in that castle!!!. Bodium Castle i think ive been there!!. Thats not too far away. Ohh and Leeds castle ,but ive never been there either,,,,LOL LOL.
