Rylan is really pissed of with the Independent, they ran the story about the unknown celeb alongside his photo.

One of my mates is a cabbie in London, he's had Rylan as a fare and says he's an absolutely sound bloke.

He is probably one of the most moral guys on the telly.

That's him with the glowing false teeth?

I dunno, I'm always suspicious of someone that doesn't look after their own teeth.
If he doesn't care about his own teeth then does he actually care about anything?

It's a guaranteed indicator of something not being right.
And even worse if it's literally a facade, fake tan, false eyelashes, etc, but didn't look after their teeth, wrong 'uns.

Nature designed it so that those people would starve to death as their teeth fell out, nature is usually not wrong.

[Cousin Jack]

He also has the most annoying voice.

A bit like those men in dresses pretending to be women which you support....I suppose.

[Bigjawa]

Rylan Clark, Jeremy Vine, Nicky Campbell and Gary Lineker have all taken to social media to protest their innocence.

The smart money is on Graham Norton.

Chiles.

Rylan isn't on his Radio2 spot...

In italy apparently.

Does Adrian Chiles work for the BBC these days? I thought he was long gone, doing ITV et al stuff, riding his motorcycle and being married to the editor of the Guardian. Didn't think he'd been on the Beeb since 2021ish.

I stand corrected. I'm actually glad because he's a grumpy oul fucker like me.

One of our local secondary schools has introduced the kilt as a uniform option, open to anyone who wants to wear one. The kids are not pretending to be anything.

Well...I suppose you could claim that you were born with the wrong teeth and you neglected them on purpose, but I don't think it's the same.

How did the school decide that the garment was a kilt and not a skirt? Is it the same style kilt for all pupils?

Is there going to be a problem when you have males showing up in proper kilts & the school tarts showing up in plaid mini skirts claiming they're technically kilts?

[Mr. Dazzle]

Oh I dunno, I know more than one kilt wearer who's pretending to be Scottish.

2.1 Uniform for Year 7-11
For all Year 7-11 students, the uniform is:
● A school blazer and school tie
● A plain white work-style shirt or blouse. This can be short or long sleeved and must be
tucked in at all times.
● Either tailored black trousers or the school kilt

For how they decided? No idea. PM me if you want contact details.

A kilt, so a skirt then......

A kilt, so a skirt then......

kilt
/kɪlt/
noun
a garment resembling a knee-length skirt

[cheb]

I've no great interest in the tiny details, I'm just amused by the fuss made about 'men wearing womens' clothing' as if the two categories have easily distinguished and obvious differences.

What stops that kilt being classed as a skirt, thus making it unsuitable for men? Pleats? The Tartan? The accessories?

If it's the accessories can the pupils now demand to wear a sporran too and carry a sgian dubh? Is an English school having a Scotch garment as uniform just institutional oppression by cultural appropriation?

More utterly pointless questions are available, send an SAE to the usual address.

Resembling? No it is one.

So what do you think those who choose to wear the kilt are pretending to be?

And what about those who choose trousers, what are they pretending to be?

Indeed.

I like it when people say "I have a stupid question" because I have loads of stupid answers.

[Count Steer]

Should probably be in 'interesting facts' but tartan can be plain (it refers to the weave not the colour pattern*) and an Englishman, Thomas Rawlinson of Lancashire, invented the kilt. (The second factoid is, of course, disputed ).

* so a printed fabric 'kilt' or a simple woven fabric 'kilt' is probably not a kilt because they should be made of tartan weave fabric (plain or patterned) I believe. Proper ones are hard to make and require a lot of work to get the pleats in - sometimes a hammer is required.
