Mum and dad are having Leek and Tattie Soup, haggis, neeps and tatties. I, however, haven't inherited the Scottish gene from them for liking Haggis. Should do considering my mums maiden name is Cruickshank! Have a lovely Burns night everyone. Enjoy

The one I bought feeds 7. There's only two of us having it so I suspect I'll end up with bloat tonight.

Try eating from a raised bowl Phil to help with the bloat and wash it down with plenty of the amber Nectar

And I've not to do anything strenous afterwards

Elastic waist mate that's the trick LOL

That's it Phil Elastic waist and make sure you are a gentleman of Leisure for at least the next 12 hours just to be on the safe side that you have recovered properly.
Feet up on the stool. bottle of 15 year old malt on the side table and a full glass in your hand sure sounds good

I think I may need to lie down for a while

You do that Phil

and the rest of us will have a song


Traditional Scottish Songs
- The Star o' Rabbie Burns




This song (words by James Thomson and music by James Booth) is frequently sung at the Burns Suppers around the world at the end of January each year which celebrate the life and works of Robert Burns.


The Star o' Rabbie Burns


There is a star whose beaming ray
Is shed on ev'ry clime.
It shines by night, it shines by day
And ne'er grows dim wi' time.
It rose upon the banks of Ayr,
It shone on Doon's clear stream -
A hundred years are gane and mair,
Yet brighter grows its beam.

Chorus
Let kings and courtiers rise and fa',
This world has mony turns
But brightly beams aboon them a'
The star o' Rabbie Burns.

Though he was but a ploughman lad
And wore the hodden grey,
Auld Scotland's sweetest bard was bred
Aneath a roof o'strae.
To sweep the strings o'Scotia's lyre,
It needs nae classic lore;
It's mither wit an native fire
That warms the bosom's core.

Chorus

On fame's emblazon'd page enshrin'd
His name is foremost now,
And many a costly wreath's been twin'd
To grace his honest brow.
And Scotland's heart expands wi' joy
Whene'er the day returns
That gave the world its peasant boy
Immortal Rabbie Burns.

Chorus

And here.

Hoki had her burns supper ...as in Burns high oats kibble...I'm sure she would have preferred the other sort

LOL, bet she would have preferred the real stuff LOL
