Happy Burns Night to all the Scottish people out there
From an Englishman who just found out he as some Scottish blood in him (not allot)
I would put a Proclaimers song up but I don't know how too.

Fair fa" your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o" the puddin-race!
Aboon them a" ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
as lang"s my arm.
The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hudies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad 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 ye up wi" ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reeking, 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 mak her spew
Wi perfect scunner,
Looks down wi" sneering, scornfu" view
On sic a dinner?
Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
as fecl;ess as a wither"d rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit;
Tho" bluidy 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 make it whistle;
An" legs, an" arms, an" heads will sned
Like taps o" thrissle.
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 gratfu" prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!

Just had the biggest heap ( no finese in this household) of haggis, neeps and tatties ,known to man. They were braw. Now time for a kip.

Given that it was written in 1786 I think it has stood the test of time more than any No1

I think it was the B Side to I"m Gonna Be (500 Miles).
Either that or Stu"s keyboard is broke.
