soooooooo i went tae a scottish fest on sunday night. it started promisingly with a real scotsman ! hes been here for 20years and hes kept his accent better than me. this is a little video of him reading a poem
there were pipers too which were good til you start to get that headache only bigpipes can give you
and then it all went a little down hill, i think perhaps this was the turning point
interesting. it wasnt so good. and then this guy decided to go all out on what i think is a rabbie burns poem he has adapted ?!
it was an alright evening but it could of been better. they do it every year, oo and they had cheese scones and tablet and dumpling, i always wondered what they would have to eat at a scottish thing like that like a chinease restaurant at home.
oh and this woman did the address to the haggis, interesting to hear it in an american accent, although i think she was trying !
