Ryan Air, corpses and Edinburgh

In case you ever plan on transporting a corpse by air, here's some useful info. Budget airline, Ryan Air allows human remains only on their flights from London's Stansted to Ireland. This was on their FAQs page! Are there really that many queries about flying corpses? Wonder if one has to buy a ticket for the corpse? Would it be half price? After all no beverage service required.

Outside Edinburgh Castle they have two guys in complete Scottish garb much to the tourists' joy. A thrid kilted dude comes along every few minutes and twitches the kilts of the first 2 into place. I dubbed him the kilt checker. Didn't see him adjust the sporrans though! So who checks the kilt checker?

Talking of kilts... in the tourist shops as expected there are lots of kilts on sale. However, I felt that a tartan umbrella was taking things a bit too far. I thought of buying me dad a kilt. Only he would not have been amused. Would probably say something about making him wear skirts.
