Gosh - after a good dinner that would probably have sent me to sleep.
Our main speaker was a captain on the Stranraer to Larne ferries, and interesting as well as, blessedly, not too long! The other speeches can be fairly bereft of Burns, or full of quotes, it is up to the individual speakers. Me - I was somewhat scathing about his womanising but didn't quote a word of his verse!
