Hmmmm Jen, I suppose we are at a slight disadvantage with RL Chris because we don't actually know what he LOOKS like, whereas we already know the extent of CJ's handsomeness (that's not really a word, is it). Of course, what we do know is that CJ is a jealous so and so if he thinks another man is getting a look in. This should be very interesting.

Not sure yet what I am going to do with CJ in Edinburgh for two days. I've been a few times (my friends have an apartment near Holyrood and lend it out if they're not using it) but my Bailbrook House friend who is coming with me has never been so I am guessing we will do the tourist stuff. Am I taking CJ to get his kilt fitted? That's something not usually on the tourist trail!

ilove I think richtea and myself should pop up in a little shop like the shopkeeper in Mr Benn and whisk CJ off behind our counter for measuring.

Dance I like the idea of a CJs dirk thrusting at my bush but was just wondering if it was a euphemism or indeed a typing error?

orphan I don't claim to be any good at needlework/sewing etc but I insist on accompanying him to the shop for his measurements. stamps foot in temper. It was my idea to take him up to Edinburgh after all...

I'm at this very moment going over some of the finer details of kilt measurements with Patrick Grant and yes, his details are very fine indeed.

Ok ilove why don't we agree you can note down the measurements as richtea and myself take them. I often find I have my hands too full to write them down...

Hmmm orphan I will think about it, but you don't know where we are staying so I hold the ace card as it were........ I might get the kilt fitter to come to the apartment instead.

pixie how did you find out about my ghost written CJ biography "A Wee Bit Lower Lassie"? I was preparing to launch it at the AGM but was just perfecting the front cover photo, but I'm more than happy to go with the models you've provided. The lady's likeness to me is quite uncanny...

orph you stick with that Russell Grant chappie from Sewing Bee as you both have a similar build I believe if that statue disguise was anything to go by

Hmm I may have to force Rupert into being my 'measuree' then to satisfy my kilt desires.

Let's face it orph Ruperts not a bad "second best" if iloves not sharing - measurements will be very similar in length and width if my memory serves me right

woof yes my striking resemblance to Russell Grant has often been noted.

Oh and by the way PG has ditched his bed jacket now that the nights are a bit warmer.

I might relent orphan, but you will have to be very nice to me in the next three weeks....

When we first started these threads, do you remember I wrote to Graham Norton asking him to have BA on his chat show? We have come so far since those early days that now I would positively cringe if he read out any of our ramblings.You know how Graham Norton takes the micky and reads out Facebook and Twitter messages He'd have an absolute field day with our fantasies.

Quick detour from the measurements, but spo has been busy and updated the SZS website...and it's brilliant! spo, don't lose your job, family, house etc over this, but please don't stop!!

Carry on with the kilt fitting details ..... .....

I'm worried though that Rupert's duct tape repair (it was never quite the same again was it? )spoils the line of the kilt and prevents the pleats from sitting neatly.

Talking of close seconds, I'm imagining Poldark scything bare chested with his kilt fluttering ever higher in the Cornish breeze, revealing his manly thigh and kidney pies (stored in his sporran for lunch)

I think we'd be ok, ilove, not sure that even graham norton could work out how this relates to OG!!! Only us in the know ..... !

I'm no expert orph but I imagine Ruperts kilt may protrude somewhat rather than be out of line.

PS glad Russell's ditched the bed jacket it was so last year. Ponchos are de riguer now, so perhaps a crocheted one?

woof Rupert has to have his trousers specially tailored now as the after effects of the audible crack left him unable to wear flat front trousers. Let's just say he's permanently pleased to see me.

Lucky you orph to have that effect on a man without even trying

Morning ladies. No need to fight over kilt measuring. I've organised a kilt hire shop on Princes Street ilove so it won't take you far from the tourist sights. Luckily they also have vacancies for a couple of willing seamstresses, although it's an absolute job requirement that the knees of any applicant are particularly strong - apparently a lot of kneeling down is required. I've given a word of recommendation - think they were impressed by the PG link so the jobs all yours if you want it richtea and orphan. ilove gets to have her fun getting him ready for the wedding after all!

If your friend is new to Edinburgh ilove then you'll probably have to do the touristy things - castle, royal mile, etc etc. CJ might appreciate the walk to Arthur's Seat? And the view once you get up there is spectacular. You should come through to glasgow for the day though (it's much better ) - we could drop you off on the way back to the wedding! I'm sure RL Chris would love to have a carful of women plus CJ..

Jen a perfect plan. The UN couldn't have come up with anything better to satisfy all parties.

Is there any etiquette about a non-Scot wearing a kilt by the way (or do we care).

Being a visitor to these parts, CJ should comply with the long held Scottish traditions for kilt wearing. He's very polite, I'm sure he wouldn't want to offend his hosts

I can ensure all traditions are upheld. It will be a pleasure. I just wondered if Scots are sniffy about the English wearing their tartans.

My ex was Scottish. I remember the fuss he made when his mother wanted him to wear a kilt we were all going to. He wore an ordinary suit in the end.

Never speak ill of the dead but she really was an evil old bag!
