Burns Night

[hembo]

ithink ive posted this before but im doing my best to eradicate my carbon footprint and recycling.

 

An English doctor, being shown around a Scottish hospital, is taken into a ward with a number of patients who show no visible signs of injury.

 

He goes to examine the first man he sees, and the man proclaims" "Fair fa' yer sonsie face, Great chieftain e' the puddin' race!" The Englishman, somewhat taken aback, goes to the next patient, who immediately launches into: "Some hae meat, and canna eat, and some wad eat that want it, But we hae meat and we can eat, and sae the Lord be thankit."

 

The next patient sits up and declaims: "Wee sleekit cow'rin tim'rous beastie, O what a panic's in thy breastie! Thou need na start awa sae hasty, wi' bickering brattle. I wad be laith to run and chase thee, wi' murdering prattle!"

 

Well, says the Englishman to his Scottish colleague. "I see you saved the psychiatric ward for last."

"Nay, nay," the Scottish doctor corrects him. "this is the Serious Burns Unit!"

Soooperb Hembo, Like it !!!!

 

It made me think about a job I once had..., years ago, I drove for a bonded warehouse near Cumbernauld, one of my fairly regular deliveries was the Burns Unit, of Glasgow Royal Infirmary,...seemingly the Whisky I delivered was for the burns victims !!! Seems strange, but true !!!

Have you seen the damage that these haggis farms are doing to the environment

 

If the farmed haggis escape and breed with the wild ones who knows what the effect may be, quite apart from all of the heather thats being destroyed by the haggis beetle.

Keep the gene pool clean

Sportsman.....!!!!!! do they REALLY do that sort of damage..???.. I didn't realise !!!!! You have changed my outlook on farmed haggis now !!! hopefully for the better....I think I will stick to "culled" wild Haggis in future.... and for that I thank you !! :thumbs:

Robert Burns goes into a pub. The barman points to the door and shouts: "Barred!"

Very informative site

Interesting to see that the haggis does most of its breeding when it is legless, seems to be a common Scottish trait

 

Nice to see that there are folk concerned enough to worrry about protection of such a vulnerable creature,

the Save Haggis In Trouble . organisation caught my eye.

This is something we should all be in, don't you think ?

wil ones norrie, those farmed ones just dont taste the same. you got to go and physicly hunt it yourself for that all traditional taste and feel, otherwise its no haggis.
