It's a celebration of the jocks' national poet Robert ( Rabbie ) Burns. Takes place every January in the form of a dinner/ booze up. A haggis is piped in and a Burns poem is recited celebrating the haggis. Its all a bit jockilly anal. Do you remember " We're on the march wi Allys army"/ were all going to Argentine/And we'll really shake the up/ When we win the world cup ? We'll its a bit like that. The Scots have this image of themselves of sleeping world beaters, and on Burns night they get together in fancy dress and tell each other how wonderful they are. "Heres tae us/ whaes like us?" is a toast you hear over and over. Harmless enough but a bit tedious when you're not a jock and have to listen to their drunken  master race rantings.

Yup, my English nationality is often  brought up along with my legitimacy here in chilly jockland. It is my patriotic duty to keep the feckers in their place.

No, I will continue my missionary work here in the uncivilised North of the country. So far I've managed to get them to walk on two legs instead of all fours. The more intelligent ones I ve taught to wipe their arses with paper. Training them to resist the urge to fight after a snifter of  whisky is still problematic though.
