Its Burns Night tonight!

I have no association with Burns night, but my son sent me a joke today.
“A couple of my friends are having a joint party for Chinese New Year and Burns Night. They are calling it Chinese-Burns Night. I didn’t want to go, but they twisted my arm!”

Is it a doughnut or am I wrang? ( am I wrong?)

Marydoll I’m still repeating it ....
?

It took me a minute to get that! DH came in and I was saying it over and over to myself, before it clicked!! I'm losing my touch.

Daddima loved it, nearly as good as Aman walked into the bakers and asked "is that a doughnut or a meringue Naw yer right enough replied the baker.

Daddima, I remember it well! I spent six weeks in high dependancy there, just after I got married!

It's long gone now.

Marydoll this one might only work for Glaswegians-

The wee fellow collapsed and woke up in hospital. When he looked, John Wayne was in the bed next to him. He looked on the other side, and Clint Eastwood was in that bed.
“ Where am I?” he asked the nurse.
“ You’re in the Western”, was the reply.

I’ll get my coat.

I left it too late to get a haggis ? but my daughter posted this vegetarian haggis with a whisky sauce.

You can get a season ticket for Celtic Connections on-line .
for £40 and watch the recorded shows for up to a week afterwards. I am even tempted myself
I have seen one concert so far and it was brill.

Ah Marydoll that Burns unit joke always makes me laugh.
Thank you xx

A wee joke.

This was sent to me.

Sadly I couldn't get a haggis from M&S today---all gone so I've made do with Chinese ribs ( luscious ) and it looks like a coroners inquest on my plate now !

I like "Hermless"! I'm missing Celtic Connections too, we always travel through to see some of the shows. Are you watching any of it online paddyanne? I can recommend Rhiannon Giddens.

Alegrias I love Michael Marra we've seen him live 8 times.Love Mother Glasgow its one of my favourite songs .Miss Celtic Connections this year ,it always keeps us amused and busy during a long January .

We drove past Tam O'Shanter's cottage today in Kirkoswald and then walked around Alloway , past Burns cottage to the bridge and toasted Rabbie with Scotland's other national drink, Irn Bru. There was no haggis in this house just tatties, neeps and mince.
My Father has never been a fan of Burn's, he never understood why he never understood why he wrote about every woman in his life except his Mother

Thank you paddyanne Eddie Reader sings that beautifully. In fact all the songs on that album are gorgeous.

One of the most beautiful songs every written. Superbly performed here. Thanks for the link paddyanne.

Her prentice han' she tried on man, and then she made the lassies O

Paddyanne this is the ONLY acceptable version of the song!

I did consider Michael Marras version of this but thought his accent might be "difficult" to understand

Actually, I just found some frozen pork and mozzarella burgers that I made for a cancelled barbecue in the summer. We may have those tonight.

Burns Night is taking on a slightly weird slant.

Kangaroo steaks, Merlot.

GF black pudding is prohibitive too.
