In honour of the bard

[delirium71]

I'm not much of a Burns fan, but I do love this song. I used to sing it, the ex played guitar. It has a bit of meaning for me because of that. The words are lovely but for years it did make me cry.

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever;
Ae fareweel, alas, for ever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.

LOL! I'd be glad to.
I'm just watching the tv. There's a concert on with various singers doing Burns songs.
Burns Supper events are things you really only go to if you're a middle aged businessman networking or if you live abroad :)

It usually is :)

I have been to one, it was a company pat itself on the back do. And a friend reminded me she went to many of them with clubs and societies at University.
They are a big ex-pat thing though. The Scots are like the Irish, hugely patriotic as soon as they go to another country (or if football is involved).

:) I'm guessing you stop short of the Canadian equivalent of the kilt, ginger wig and braveheart facepaint though! :)
