Thos Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Isn't it Burns night celebration tonight? Does anyone on this board ever participate and do the traditional haggis and wee dram thing. I never have and have never tasted haggis (the wee dram is a different matter, though I am not really fond of whisky, except for an occasional good malt).The formalities of piping the stuff in, speeches, cutting with a sword look fun, though. Mind you even a little of those bagpipes is too much for Thos.Thos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I lived in the Middle east for 12 years before I retired in 1997 and celebrated Burns Night every year at that time. In fact we expats celebrated every anniversary possible - drawing from a rich library of celebrations from all countries, religions, sports, hobbies and pastimes. If we couldn't find something to celebrate on a particular rest day or week-end - we then celebrated having nothing to celebrate. The following day we would celebrate having - or not having, as the case may be - a hang-over.Happy days - but it's nice to be home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
