True, but it's nae Burns! :mrgreen: That's why I like "A Man's a Man" -- it sounds very guid on the pipes!
Technically, the Haggis should be fiddled in, since Burns was a Lowlander from Ayr...but I like the pipes too much not to have them! ;)

Have you tried to look for a local piper? When I was channel surfing a couple of months ago, there was a Iraqi piper in a news clip on CNN. It may be nice to introduce the burns night tradition to the local.

Not a good idea

On it's own that is a great idea, unfortunetly, for operational security, it's not. If a local Iraqi were allowed access to our facility, he and his family would be in danger. Insurgents would kidnap, tourture, or kill anyone they thought would have useful information, like building layouts, number of security on duty etc. Some day it will be different, just not right now.
