Burns night
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 Egyptians are known to have practised the distillation of perfumes 3000 years before J.C
I believe "Hag" comes from Scandinavia

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.

Re: Burns night
Now ,now girls and boys, each country in the UK has it's strength's and weakness.Let's not have a slanging match or a macho discussion about which has the better culture.There's good and bad to be taken from all of the 4 countries of the UK's cultures.
