France in Focus

Some hae meat and canna eat
Some would eat that want it
But we hae meat and we can eat
So let the Lord be thankit.

Happy Burns night.

Happy Burns Night to one and all.
Haggis ..... naw ...... Ah dinnae like it

Oh yes, just realised it is my late father's birthday today - he reckoned he was part Scottish just because he was born on Burn's Night and lived in Glasgow for a while!



Plonker!

Happy Burns Night to the real Scots on here (dont Blaze).
My husband claims to be half-Scottish but he's as Scotttish as... Charlie Battenburg.

Tae a Fart....

Oh what a sleekit horrible beastie,

Lurks in yer bellie efter a feastie,

Just as ye sit doon among yer kin, there starts to stir an enourmous wind.

The neeps and tatties and mushy peas, start working like a gentle breeze.

But soon the pudding wi' the sauncie face, will have ye blawin' a' ower the place.

Nae matter whit the hell ye dae, a'body's gonna hae tae pay.

Even if ye try tae stifle, it's like a bullet oot a rifle.

Hawd yer bum ticht tae the chair, tae to stop the leakin' air.

Shift yersel fae cheek tae cheek, pray tae god it disnae reek.

But a' the efforts go assunder,oot it comes like a clap o' thunder.

Ricochets arrond the room, michty me! A sonic boom!

God almighty, it fairly reeks, a' hope a' huvnae shat ma breeks!

Tae the bog a' better scurry, whit the hell, it's nae ma worry.

A'body roon about me choakin', one or two are nearly boakin'.

I'll fell better for a while, cannae help but raise a smile.

"It was him!" I shout and glower, alas too late, he's just keeled over.

Ye dirty bugger! They shout and stare, I'm not that welcome any mair....

Where e're ye go let yer wind gang free, that sounds just the job fir me.

Whit a fuss at Rabbie's party, ower the sake o' one wee farty!



Now that's a Burns Night Supper to be at!

Sorry for the late info. BBC4 at 20.30 - concert.

I just hope it's not Andy ******* Stewart
