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.

Re: In todays news...
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.Ant wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2023 9:42 amA bit like those men in dresses pretending to be women which you support....I suppose.Potter wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2023 4:37 amThat's him with the glowing false teeth?

Re: In todays news...
How did the school decide that the garment was a kilt and not a skirt? Is it the same style kilt for all pupils?

Re: In todays news...
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?

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.

Re: In todays news...
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.

Re: In todays news...
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.

Re: In todays news...
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.
