Me:  “what do you mean Vikings”?

Him: “your hat”.

Me: “what do you mean”?

Him: “well it’s got horns”.

Me: “what’s that got to do with it"?

Him: “but isn’t it a Viking helmet”?

Me “but Vikings didn’t wear helmets like this so I don’t know what you mean"?

Torment a pendant, it eases the day.

 We need to see the photo of you now in this Non Viking Helmet !!  Tongue

I am so glad that we are allowed to mention politics, culture, Ruairidh’s headgear and chariot racing, but not Test Cricket.

Why Not?

Because England lost, apparently.

On the subject of the Dunford headwear, just bought some of this for our Burn's supper...

I don't understand the connection...

The whisky is called "Viking Scars", which you probably get if you cut the horns off.
