And so old bean the outfit is considered 'poofy' not "puffy" and poofy old poofters and poofs would love a Randy Oldman especially if you're a younger Randy Oldman.

No debate, it does.
From the designers web site:
" I believe that knowing when a piece is complete is one of the great secrets of success; it is the moment of realisation that the work truly sings. The act of knowing when to stop is as important an act of creation as all those that have gone before. Stopping is, in itself, a positive act of creation. I call this last action the ”wizard stroke” that finally completes the piece."
I guess in this instance she didn't know when to stop.
What I think is that this makes LetsRun the official National Enquirer of the running world. Making news out of nothing in a desperate hunt for some hits.
Stick to what you people do best, posting links.
"If it's not Scottish, it's c-r-r-ap!"
Well, the kits have succeeded in getting a few people to look up Scotland on the globe.
4 years earlier at the flag handover these uniforms she designed were fine. What happened?

Not where I lived during my formative years, oop north e.g:
"That's a puffy shirt."
Awful clothing. I can understand the kilts, but you'd expect a stronger color and what's going on with the blouses? Thankfully nobody cares about the commonwealth games, or the real Scots would fashion the designer a noose from their abomination. Yuck.
Look, the brits don't need gay uniforms to prove that they are gay. Almost every brit man is gay. It must have something to do with their boarding schools and being dangerously innerbred. It is a miracle that any babies are conceived in that country with the women being so ugly and the men being so, um, not interested in having sex with women.
Should've just worn the Scottish hat. Instantly identifiable.
They would be nice if the colors matched. Not a huge fan of flower shirts on guys.

it's impossible to be 1/3 anything genetically...
Rounding error.
if one parent is 1/4 and the other is 2/4, the offspring will be 3/8.
if one parent is 3/8 and the other is 4/8, then the offspring will be 7/16
if one parent is 6/16 and the other is 7/16 then the offspring is 13/32.
keep going, you can get as close to 1/3 as you want.

If your parents are cousins, then you only have 6 great grandparents, and if 2 of them are Scottish, then you are exactly 1/3 Scottish.
If instead your parents are 3rd cousins, then you have 30 great-great-great-grandparents, and if 10 of them are Scottish, then you are exactly 1/3 Scottish.
If instead your parents are 5th cousins, then you have 126 great-great-great-great-great-grandparents...
You get the idea.
