Vodka for me, surprise,surprise!

Do we have to drink whisky I know I said I could smuggle some out for you ladies, and dont worry DH wont notice the missing bottle but...... you will hate me for saying this I hate the stuff shall I bring white wine also

Jeni - depends on the picture.
Phoenix I was about to pour a glass of red but you have tempted me on to the hard stuff. I hate to confess this but my current favourite is Jameson's (Irish) which I brought after a trip to Dublin in October. I may even follow your suggestion and have a splash of soda. Cheers!

1 picture is worth a thousand words

annobel not always!

jeni, doesn't the emoticon serve your purpose?

em definitely currently sticking to the blended. I have a glass of Waitrose own and soda at my elbow as I type!

Was referring back to your post at 16.49. There must be many a gran who hasn't any experience of Burns and I'd hate them to feel excluded! Additional emoticons would be of no help to me as I don't use them. (I realise I am one of the exceptions on GN but think most points can be expressed using real words!)

Stock is German for stick so you were close!

Should read stick

Mmmm nor sure how to take that. Is em being sarcastic or complimentary! GEALDINE we really do need a"just joking " emoticon. Perhaps a jokers stock with bells on

My gran always said that!

That's for you to know and us to wonder about!

Experience in what? Titter titter.

Ah but Jeni everyone doesn't have your experience - as we are all beginning to realise!! (Plus I'd have to find it!!)

I think I used a bit from old Tam as wellin mine! Try us. If I can manage Tam for o level English, surely we an manage a wee lassie's efforts.

Phoenix single malt diluted with water - fine. With soda you could stick to the everyday blended stuff - but Jeni - diluted with VODKA! Wash your mouth out indeed!
Have also replied to the toast to the Lassies, using a version of Tam o' Shanter from his wife's point of view. Very funny but don't think it would be appropriate here (lost in translation??)

My favourite grace.

I'm from Selkirk so would suggest the Selkirk Grace

"Some hae meat and canna eat
Some hae nane, but want it
But we hae meat
and we can eat
Sae let the Lord be thankit."

I LIKE that. Have t been there for years. Last time there was a lovely big department store that did mini haggis. Can't get them now.

Edinburgh Castle would be a good venue, and then we can go stomping down the Royal Mile and virtually invade Holyrood.

haggis and vaggis. I like it, butty. Typical of those veggies to be rude, innit?
