I won't be having the haggis and neeps, which I love, but I might be persuaded to have a scotch or 3, if they twist my arm! ;)

The funny thing is Whisky originates from China circa 5th centry, and Haggis if i remember right came from Greece

Re: Burns night
 

Oh give us a break...Can't the Scots have invented anything the Chinese or anyone else didn't develop first? :erm:

Only the Scots can do Burns night and Christmas-theyve cornered the market. The English are too boring and have no culture to speak of apparently.
