    There is a Scottish Bakery about 10 minutes away I can get a haggis from anytime I'd like, and the Fergus Highland Games is this weekend, it'll be haggis on a bun for lunch that's for sure.

    I'm not even talking about politics. A lot of their show is about presenter's opinion which is unusual for any news station.
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    If they're talking about Haggis on the news, war must be over, disease cured, and the white hose issues agreed upon by all.

    Funny, I thought Paul was just being "fair and balanced"

    Back on topic.... There was a nice "wild haggis" on display at the NH St. Andrew's Society Burns Supper in January; sadly he seemed a wee bit camera shy.

    I know... let's not get into the word "fanny" either
    Our new stations are very different too - we hate a lot less stations and presenters because they always get "experts" in to talk about things - where are in the USA in certain news stations the presenters often state their opinion. It's then hard to establish what the real news is!

    But the haggis thing is really spun. From certain news sources it seems like the historian is actually claiming haggis was invented by English. The English also had sheep and some herbs etc. and one of them decided to make a dish out of them and take a note of the recipe. That doesnt make it haggis.
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
