Ot Burns Night

[Mike JD]

To our several members north of the border, Many happy reburns of the night.

In this house the Haggis and good cornish swede (neap substitute) is to be accompanied by Auchentoshan, Knockando, Tamdhu, the Singleton and an 18 year old Laphroaig.

I don't really like haggis but it is a helluva good excuse to get the serious stuff out of the cupboard

[shcm]

I thought it was yesterday?

Anyway, it's still a good excuse

If you don't want your share of Haggis, I'll have it.

[Daveyonthemove]

Is this a common problem with the Rav4?

It should have been but it took me a while to catch the sheep and persuade it I wasn't Welsh and only wanted a bit of its lungs

The worst of it is, Mikeo, after The Haggis, most of ma age group reach for the Gaviscon.....pound for pound / ml for ml, it's more expensive than all those listed refreshments you mention, And it's spelleded "neeps", ken....?

The Queens inspecting a hospital, comes to a small ward where one mans singing Auld Lang Syne anothers reciting Ode to the haggis, Queen asks whats going on? doctor advises, (wait for it) Thats the Burns unit.. :shutit: Stew

[Watto.]

Or maybe it's spelt 'nips' but pronounced 'neeps' (as it's referring to turnips)?

And who is Ken??

Only if you're a Sassenach.

To keep the confusion going: turnips v. neeps v. swedes v. tumshies

Puir great by the way. Altho I bought a young haggis and whilst preparing it got pit aff by the innards and the bits of what like thin tubing so I fed it to the missus and ma auld man an uncle john. they had it last night and the night.

I jisty had a mushroom curry the night and washe doon by a few glasses of whisky... following last nights indulgence.

Bit down the night as some interfink driver reversed intae wur Previa an the wnkr gave me a false detail of who owned the van....so had to get the polis involved. Nae harm tae ma motor, altho ma daughter wis a bit shocked as wis ma 2 grandaughters. Indeed ma youngest grandaughter wa so shocked her teeth fell oot.. an ah've bin advised that she may have mair problems wi her teeth fa'in oot as she grows up - she's 4 month auld the noo. The 2 year old is a wee bit shaken - wait til ah find the crotin that reversed intae them... he wis oan his mobile as he wis lost delivering a parcel.

More importantly, we would have none of the above, whether here in Niceland or in Englandshire, without a Tattybogle.

It's at these times I wish I had bought shares in Google....go on....you know you want to.....

Never mind vegetables - I found this link in the same page: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/may/16/womens-!Removed!-are-getting-bigger

Now that did interest me.

(Apologies to Lady Members)

Thanks for this. I took my haggis-enough-for-10 into Marks and asked to have it measured in the lingerie department. I explained that it wasn't too far off the size of the missus' so as a wee surprise thought I'd buy her a bra.

The security man ripped ma jacket!

My sincere apologies old bean. I have enough trouble spilling in Inglish. You might be talking Glesga whereas I was yarning Yottie and thinking Neaps as in neap tides. (You do boil them in salted water up there IIRC)

Nope!!! Straight in the Fryer, along with the Pizzas, Pies and Mars Bars Stew

[bothwell_buyer]

a deep fried turnip/neep/swede stretches the imagination somewhat ---- mainly as it won't fit in a regular sized chip poke.

The healthy option - it all counts towards your 5-a-day :D

Aw Boffs,

Cannot believe you would resort to the word "poke"....now we will be inundated by questions "what is a poke" (easy Davrav).

A "poke" can also be translated as "a cornet" of ice cream, hence the advert/song on telly "Just One Pokeyo, Give It To Me..."

Ah...Burns WEEK....CANNAE WACK IT.

I thought the food hygiene laws meant you cannae get a poke of chips?

Anyway, forget haggis, neeps and tatties - Cullen Skink and Stovies for the weekend.

Isn't this waaaaaay off topic?
