If you want proof of the puddin ask yourself why the Great Robert Burns wrote the poem "Adress too the Haggis", Easy, Robert burns was not a great fisherman but a great Haggis hunter he was, the poem "Adress to a Haggis", Was to the Haggis that got away!!!

The Haggis is Hunted, yes between Hogmany and Burns night but only on a Sunday. Haggis hunters dress in full Scottish dress, Kilt, Sporran and most importantly the Scian Dhu (spelt wrongly) The scian dhu is the wee knife that goes in by the side of the sock.

On the Sunday Morning all the haggis hunters gather at the bottom of the hill and spread across, before ascending upwards they reach in to their Sporrans and have a wee toast to the Haggis Hunters o the past, The hunt starts with the Cry "TOO A HAGGIS ya wee bickerin beastie",

Upon catchin a Haggis the Haggis Hunter will cry out loudly "there's one", some will cry "there's another one", this goes on until the clock strikes 3pm, it's then that the Haggis are counted and the top Haggis hunter o the day is awarded the tail o the largest Haggis caught that day, when the Haggis hunting season is over the Haggis hunter with the biggest tail wins the title of the Haggis hunter o the year award.

I once told this story to a Norwegian lady in my Taxi who worked for the Norwegian tourist board, after finishing the strory she said, "YA WE HAV SIMILAR ANIMALS IN NORWAY", "THEY ARE CALLED JASBARS"!!!

I quite happily left it at that as the potential for exchange trips is good for tourism :lol: :lol: :lol:


What's the difference between a haggis and Private Reggie?

The haggis has more brains :lol:

Thanks for the compliment!!!

They do say that eating Haggis is good for your virality but if your also saying that a Haggis has more brains then given the fact that many intellegent men eat Haggis i do see where your coming from :lol: :lol:

What's that poem Jim? With the words "Wee Bickerin beastie", C'mon YOU love to Bicker, i think that poem sums you up perfectly :wink: :wink: nudge nudge

If someone would like to post that poem, it would be welcome :D


Reggie, you teapot, there is no brains in the making of haggis :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

TO A TAYLOR (MOUSE)

Wee, sleekit, cowrin, tim'rous beastie,
0, what a panic's in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty
Wi' bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an' chase thee,
Wi' murdering pattle!

I'm truly sorry man's dominion
Has broken Nature's social union,
An' justifies that ill opinion
Which makes thee startle
At me, thy poor, earth-born companion
An' fellow mortal!

I doubt na, whyles, but thou may thieve;
What then? poor beastie, thou maun live!
A daimen icker in a thrave
'S a sma' request;
I'll get a blessin wi' the lave,
An' never miss't!

Thy wee-bit housie, too, in ruin!
Its silly wa's the win's are strewin!
An' naething, now, to big a new ane,
O' foggage green!
An' bleak December's win's ensuin,
Baith snell an' keen!

Thou saw the fields laid bare an' waste,
An' weary winter comin fast,
An cozie here, beneath the blast,
Thou thought to dwell,
Till crash! the cruel coulter past
Out thro' thy cell,

That wee bit heap o' leaves an' stibble,
Has cost thee monie a weary nibble!
Now thou's turned out, for a' thy trouble,
But house or hald,
To thole the winter's sleety dribble,
An' cranreuch cauld!

But Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft agley,
An lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!

Still thy art blest, compared wi' me!
The present only toucheth thee:
But och! I backward cast my e'e,
On prospects drear!
An' forward, tho' I canna see,
I guess an' fear

See i do have a Heart Jim :lol: You are a wee Mouse left behind!!! An aw that :D

So you can cut and paste Dougie.

WOW!!!

But still not an original thought.

Wee sleekit cowrin' timorous Dugless
Sae hapless 'n' brainless as we can a' tell
His mind ta'en up wi' woeful mess
Hampered by no' e'en yin brain cell.

Noo oor doogie thinks he's a big business exec
Such lofty status is his illusion.
But wi' commercial nounce nae worth a feck
It's only just his delusion.

But oor hapless guru Dugless Smith
Efter joinin' the cab firm city
Devised a plan tae rule the toon
But nae quorum, the plan is sh*tty.

So get real hapless Doogie Smith
'N' gie us aw a brek thi' nite.
You ramble oan like a crazy loon
Wi' your incessant sh*te.


:wink: :lol:

Ya little sad moose ye naw.
