He recited every single stanza of Burn's 'Address to the Haggis' (and it is long)from memory with appropriate dramatic gestures.Nancy Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414597433860002332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244275961793143825.post-31612407901489482372013-01-26T11:41:43.855+00:002013-01-26T11:41:43.855+00:00Thanks for the information Ray.

Another fact I didn't know is that it is illegal to sell traditional haggis in the USA - they have something against sheep's lung apparently.

Open season on Haggis is dependant on there being a full moon. No moon, no Haggis.<br /><br />2. They must by ancient decree be harpooned, no other form of killing is acceptable<br /><br />And a little known and seldom recorded fact they must be wearing the kilt.Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244275961793143825.post-54876059520139448102013-01-25T18:34:12.435+00:002013-01-25T18:34:12.435+00:00Happy Burns Night, Nancy, and enjoy your haggis.
