Always a bit of a damp squid up here when it comes to burns night, though I do love a bit of haggis.....

 

[Ian]

Years since I've had some, come to think of it, it's been too long since my last visit up north. Must make an effort to go and see the family.

Faggots don't count.
I had haggis and a veg haggis, neeps, mashed potatoes, peas and sweetcorn. Gravy always helps.
And a glass of red wine.
And we (the family) addressed the haggis. Did a pretty good job of remembering it.

Happy Burns night to all those on the otherside of the wall.

Just a couple of pointers.


Haggis was invented in England, as where Scotch eggs
(they were invented in London by Fortnum & Masson)

SCOTLAND'S INVENTIONS

Think you will find Whisky is ours unless that well informed site named chacha says otherwise :smilewinkgrin:

Going on your logic Neil Armrstrong is a native moonman :lol:

You will out find plenty *****e as a Daily Mail reader.

Back to Burns, part of the reason I acknowledge it is im proud to be part of a country (and a Gael) with such a Romantic history and culture, something nobody can take away even if some eijit trys peeing on it :smilewinkgrin:

 

[CJ]

All the banter and P taking aside.................I have to admit that I don't know a more Patriotic nation than the Scots. Much more so than the English.

A fine interpritation of Burns's work, sung by a man from Edinbragh, wont hold it against him tho. :smilewinkgrin:

Perhaps my favourite Scotsman, how the mans life hasnt been in film I will never no although he has featured in plenty of songs.

I have not celebrated burns night as I am about as far away from Scotland as an English man can be. I am ashamed to say that I have never tried haggis, have always wanted to but never really got round to it. I must make the effort. I did however go on a whiskey tasting master class in honor of burns night and my goodness was the Scottish guy taking the class patriotic!

 

[Gall.B]

What Malts did you sample Rich?

 

[Muse2k8]

Hey nowt wrong with us Edinburgers

 

[Gall.B]

Just jealous of your beautifull city.

Do hate working there tho, only do it if its nightshift these days
