I'm afraid this Bern hadn't a clue what it's about. I have had haggis, don't mind a wee dram, but it's not my tipple. Remember my mom used to say it's gonna be a broad black moonlit night the night..wether that's anything to do with burns night i don't know. I feel due to the ancestors I should know. We are Scots Irish or Irish Scots on the mammys side.
Go on then... ;D

Go on then... ;D
Oh believe me I will but tomorrow when I have calmed down >:(
-
Eh? Perhaps wait until the day after then judging by that face. :o

Robert Burns... a misogynistic drunk by many accounts and Burns night is simply an excuse get rat arsed, eat haggis and celebrate his allegedly fantastic works.
Wouldn't worry B, a lot of Scot's don't get it either.

For us in Wales the 25th is Saint Dwynwen's, which is the Welsh Valentine's Day. So it's more of a carpet burns night for us!

Lidl are doing a rather nice Haggis at 99p. Better than Aldi's.
They are cleaned, plucked, and the back legs have been removed.
-
Yeah but are they hens or cocks?

According to the labels they are HimShe's and are fully trans formed. Iv'e been looking out for Haggis eggs
to grow my own but can't find any despite searching all the hedgerows. :(
-
Idiot - looking in the hedgerows,indeed.
Haggi (pl) have one leg shorter than the other. They are exclusively found on hillsides and the shorter/longer leg combination keeps them perfectly level; hence they are capable of extraordinary speed and therefore difficult to shoot.
-
But if that were the case, when purchasing a pair of Haggis legs one would be underweight, surely. !!
And i'm not an idiot. If they lay the eggs on the slopes then the eggs will roll downhill and end up where.??
In the hedgerows of course. Now who's an idiot. :P :P
-
Feels so good to get some humour going during this miserable winter! ;D

Firstly, there are two species of haggis. One with the left leg longer and the other with the right leg longer.
A pair of haggis legs, like a brace of pheasants, wouuld consist of one of each. Thus parity in weights.
Obviously, they cannnot interbreed - the balancing act required for procreation would be nigh on impossible - like standing up in a hammock.
Each species has to go round the hillside in a different direction and eggs are laid in specially scratched out furrows.
In very high winds and occasional earth tremors some eggs have been displaced and may, if you are very lucky, roll down the hillside into a hedgerow.
Good luck with your search.
-
That's rubbish, they interbreed quite successfully and procreate by using a crutch to reach the crotch, albeit in a rickety fashion.
There is a large colony of them in your neck of the woods Stuart Fishcombe Cove is overrun with them but they only appear
on the 32nd of each month, at midnight. Haggis plumage is treasured by the Wherethehellarewe tribe in the Sahara
marshlands.

Somewhat disturbing to learn of this interbreeding. I knew nothing about it.
"Normal" inbreeding in this part of Devon is widespread/compulsory (proudly, my family tree has no branches) and is encouraged to ensure racial purity.
I was taught that the Haggis dexter and haggis sinister had evolved separately from the prehistoric four legged haggis to become haggis erectus i.e. two legged with much smaller forelegs (arms).
THis interbreeding may well result in the creation of a new type of haggis - haggis sapiens.
It is clear from your information that they are now using tools .
This is a very worrying development.
-
And there are plenty of tools in Devon.

Where is Highlander this broad black moonlit night?
-
It’s a braw bricht moonlit nicht the nicht”
Translates to: It’s a brilliant bright moonlight night tonight. I’ve heard it sung by Harry Lauder, but outside of that, I’ve never heard anyone actually say it...not Robbie Burns then..
-
an excuse get rat arsed
- CORRECT but we don't really need one ;)
an excuse to eat haggis
INCORRECT most people in God's own country have it more than once during the year
excuse to celebrate his allegedly fantastic works.
CORRECT but only after we have totally fulfilled our obligations under the first criteria mentioned.
:)
-
Good to know you celebrated in style as usual :D ;D
