Hi all!

Here in Scotland, today (Jan 25th) is called Burns Night; it is a celebration of what most people consider to be Scotland's greatest poet, Rabbie Burns.

We all use it as an(other!!) excuse to go out, dress up in a kilt, eat Haggis, and get totally sh*t-faced..... all in the name of culture, of course!!

So I'd just like to wish ALL you sexy Pixieites a Happy Burns Night ... and



SLAINTE !!

Address to a Haggis

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the pudding-race!
Aboon them a' yet tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o'a grace
As lang's my arm.

The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin was help to mend a mill
In time o'need,
While thro' your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.

His knife see rustic Labour dight,
An' cut you up wi' ready sleight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like ony ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin', rich!

Then, horn for horn, they stretch an' strive:
Deil tak the hindmost! on they drive,
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
Bethankit! hums.

Is there that owre his French ragout
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad make her spew
Wi' perfect sconner,
Looks down wi' sneering, scornfu' view
On sic a dinner?

Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckles as wither'd rash,
His spindle shank, a guid whip-lash;
His nieve a nit;
Thro' blody flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!

But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread.
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll mak it whissle;
An' legs an' arms, an' hands will sned,
Like taps o' trissle.

Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o' fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies;
But, if ye wish her gratefu' prayer
Gie her a haggis!

HAPPY Burns Night to ya

….. and if you’re not a McDonald,... don’t let your WHOPPER get cold under that kilt.

Hmmm nothing like a Sheep's Stomach stuffed with Cow Parts and Gravy to get your mouth watering...

Hmmm... Thought Burns Night was when you got the Ben-Gay confused with the KY...

Anway, Happy Burns Night!
