Burns Night

[DTCwordfan]

As it's nearly time for ABers with connections to North of the Border to eat their national dish (Be careful of Tesco's Haggis, folk) and to be horizontal on the floor, isn't it about time that you hoist the petard (oops, sorry, standard) of the Satire and perhaps wave a thistle around, Ed?

I've got no scottish blood at all but I'm still going to enjoy my haggis, neeps and tatties and may partake in a Drambuie or two.

hoots Mon sic a guid thocht tae hae..

[Svejk]

They can be a bit sardonic,DT.:-)

[AB Editor]

Ideally we'd have a logo of a haggis flopped over the AnswerBank name, with a little Scottish flag in it :)

Not sure where we'll find one though.

Be patient...the Ed still has a Christmas tree in his avatar....

[EcclesCake]

I think that is withered mistletoe Pasta......

[pastafreak]

Whatever it is-it needs throwing in the fire.

Morning, Ed.
Try here for images of haggi.

It's mistletoe on my rod.

Not a Christmas tree.

Might change it to a haggis then.

[pastafreak]

A dead haggis or a live one? I thought they were notoriously difficult to catch. ;-))

[DTCwordfan]

Not if you are a clod-hopper, pasta.....

[AB Editor]

You can usually trick one out of it's burrow by offering it a referendum on independence.

[AB Editor]

The one I have now is a freshwater one if anyone is interested.

[AB Editor]

Sounds like there's already one in yours Dorromay :)

Reminds me of a friend who said she was once so desperate for the loo, she had to go in the holly bush. Recognising my concern at the pain that would have caused her, she hastily explained that the Holly Bush is a pub. :o)

[shoota]

Oh no! Not the Spanish inquisition again........

Haggis - urgh! I think it tastes like peppered sawdust.
It is the food of Satan

[gness]
