O' wad some power the gift to give us, to see ourselves as others see us.

I've had some superb baits in Scotland, couldn't tell you their names but they were so nice I had them more than once.

As for lang syne, "should auld aquaintances be forgot" is a classic drunken singalong.

Been on the whisky there matey?

Lovely to see
 
A new doctor is being shown round a Scottish hospital.

As they enter one ward, the nearest patient turns to him and says "Fair fa' your honest sonsie face, great chieftain o' the pudden race!"

Before the doctor can react, the patient in the next bed adds "Wee sleekit cowerin' timorous beastie! O what a panic's in thy breastie!"

And not to be outdone, the third patient responds "Some ha' meat and cannae eat, and some wad eat that want it!"

The doctor murmurs to the orderly "So this is the mental health ward?"

"Och no!" replies the orderly.

"...it's the Burns Unit!"
 
Had a burger to celebrate. It's what Robbie would've wanted. Not a fan of haggis, haven't had a clootie dumpling in about 30 years and stopped drinking Irn Bru as a bairn. I'm a disgrace to my heritage. Oh aye and I can't even smell whisky without feeling sick.
