Burns Night went very well. My speech was well received - I did include the bit about the debate on what sex a computer is.

Also a little about remembering Mrs Burns senior as we celebrate 250 years since she gave birth to her eldest - Robert himself. I included a bit about Expandwhy the men always seemed to be sent downstairs to boil water )

I also included a small vignette about Expandchoosing a new cooker )

Of course, going back to Burns Night, the high spot is as much Expandthe food as the speeches. )

For all you doubters - which I was for many years - haggis is really quite delicious. Especially with a tot of good single malt whisky.

If you have time to read, especially those of you of a scientific bent - you might enjoy this article on the very serious maths.ed.uk site about "Applications of ultrasonography in the reproductive management of Dux magnus gentis venteris saginati."

Bearing in mind that "Dux magnus gentis venteris saginati" translates literally as "great chieftain o’ the puddin’ race"...

The link was passed on to me by my friend D in Skye. When I get to work tomorrow I have promised to pass it on to the Speaker of The House of Keys - who is an expert on addressing the haggis. Honestly.
