HAPPY BURNS NIGHT

"Hendrix. Moon. The Gallaghers. Forget them.
More than 200 years ago one man from Scotland out-rocked them all.

Robbie Burns.

Party on Burns Night and revel in the unique humour of Burns and Scottish comedy."

Or as they said at the Beasties Burns Bash I attended last year - with a sit-down haggis dinner for sixty and raucous poetry - Robbie Burns was a Dirty Bastard! Wearing the badge today in hounour of this occasion, will try and find some haggis neeps and tatties to go with my whisky.

Having a moment today, missing Glasgow and all the delicious people there. It's a lush grey drizzly day here - my favourite weather, much to the disgust of all those who are forced to endure it all the time and would much rather constant sunshine. That melancholy northern soul of mine just craves the respite of these gloomy days.

Long chat with the magnificent miyuki last night, who told me I'm top of her blog aggregator and she wants to be a trashbag like me. Oh dear, reputation, what reputation?!?! There's no need, you are completely amazing and wonderful already! It's so essential to have contact with people out there in the world living on their own terms, who resonate on a similar frequency and can replenish and revive both of your hope, joy and optimism simply through a conversation and laughter.
