Happy Burns day

'Some hae meat and cannae eat,
And some wad eat that want it;
But we hae meat, and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thanket.'
Got my haggis from the Butcher (got him to kill it thank god) and I'm hoping I still remotely like eating the stuff! Have a good one folks, from us in Scotland. :D

And then I thought of running Robbie Burns under the tap and wrapping him in clingfilm.
That's roughly around the time I got the joke. Dx
Unlucky!
But for some reason that all becomes a bit jaded when you go through years of bullying because your accent is English.
The north is stuffed full of midges, and the mountains get in the way of the scenery, the south is full of people who like to pretend they're from proud Highland clans, and the only thing of worth to come from the country is Irn Bru. However, the Irn Bru thing makes up for all the flaws.
Because it is beautiful stuff. Fuck whisky, Irn Bru is where this shit is at.
Either way, maybe my involvement with the community and relocating to somewhere different when I turned 18 gave me the chance to start again and meet people who judge you for more who you are than what you sound like or where you're from. I also don't remember seeing many midgies up here in Dundee. Just a thought. xD
Dundee isn't really north or south though. It's more an extension of the Central belt than anything else. Too flat to be Highlands. Going to school in the Borders, I was surprised by the racism thing. There's not that many actual Scots in the area, it seems to be a mix of everyone but the Scottish, so to get shit for sounding English made no sense. The whole Scots Vs English thing still makes no sense.
Yeah, England invaded Scotland a few times, but you're handily forgetting the Scots invaded England a few times too. At one point, Scotland was as far down as York. Both sides were as bad as each other, so quit your racism.
Then you get beaten up for knowing stuff.
Midges are pretty scarce in Dundee, I'll admit. The closest there are the Neds.
And yes, Neds are everywhere, can't really avoid them in the UK. They're a lot more prevelant in Glasgow though. :b
Sorry if I offended.
We didn't have haggis today, for reasons unknown.
Happy Burns night from the Highlands! :D
He has the same first name as me.
Personally though, I rather think a Carpet Burns Day might be more then. Although I suppose it depends on how you earned said burns.
