TQR 14,384 Posted January 25, 2019 Tatties? Git tae fuck. Neaps? Git rid o’ that shite. Haggis? Och aye! My dinner was crumbled haggis, fried in butter, in a crusty roll with a drizzle of tomato ketchup. Washed down with some crisp Chenin Blanc rather than a dram of whisky. Yep. In my dreadful English way I accidentally went some way to un-Scottish this auspicious Scottish occasion. Very sorry. Sláinte Mhath! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 6,099 Posted December 28, 2019 As it's almost hogmanay, a little poem. MEMORIES OF SCOTTISH NEW YEARS ...... Steak pie getting cooked, taxi's been booked, Mum getting praise for how good she looked, house had a scrub, there's hunners of grub, your Da getting grief for going to the pub, mushy peas, pieces on tongue and on gammon, TUC biscuits with cheese and John West salmon, a schemie feast instead of a famine, buns of cherry, currants, and Madeira , we couldn't afford anything dearer, excitement is building the bells getting nearer, there's Smirnoff, Babysham, Whyte and McKay, Bacardi, Gin, and Canada Dry, with mixers supplied by the Alpine Guy, You're allowed a wee Advocatt, or a cheeky wee Shandy, a sly can of beer from Uncle Andy, kissed bang on the lips from all of your Aunties, Stereogramme ready with musical gems, Abba, The Drifters, and Boney M, all getting blasted 33 RPM, now they're all minging, someone starts singing, hoose full of smoke, your eyes are all stinging, they all sing songs that make them greet, Nobody's Child a particular treat, an orphanage song makes all party's upbeat, Wild Side Of Life, Booby McGee, Little Old Wine Drinker Me, Tie A Yellow Ribbon To An Old Oak Tree, only 8 more New Year nights to go, to every Aunty and Uncle you know, brilliant to see all your cousins though, and although at times I make it seem tragic, what I would give for one night of magic, to see all our loved ones would make me ecstatic. Happy New Year when it comes to you all, and a glass lifted for those not here, may the beautiful memories outshine the tears X 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 25, 2020 Aye, hope all y'all have the best Burns Night imaginable. Which should include the items posted, and a wee poem. Here is an appropriate one for DL, entitled "Epitath for Robert Aiken Esq" 'Know thou, O stranger to the fame Of this much lov’d, much honoured name! (For none that knew him need be told) A warmer heart death ne’er made cold.' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
