So...............what are all you ABers doing to celebrate the great Bard's birthday on the 25th? Haggis, neeps & tatties all round. A wee drappie to wet yer whistle? A few lines of "To a Haggis"? Come on folks, use your imagination!
My great grandmother was a McQueen, a member of the MacDonald clan, and Robbie Burns is also said to feature in our family line somewhere but it was, in my great aunt's words, 'the wrong side of the blanket,' so it was rarely mentioned.
I told my wife on one occasion, I was going to wear a kilt to a wedding and she told me if I did, she would disown me. I hadn't the legs for it.
What's good enough for Mel Gibson is good enough for me.
I'll be going to a Canadian bar owned by an Italian; order some English beer which will be served by an Irish bartender, and watch some American football on a Japanese TV. In order to inject some Scotchisness into the situation I'll nae tip the wee coleen a bleedin' penny:)
