Day 263 - Address to a Haggis!!

Didn't realise you could have so much fun with an After Eight Mint and a microphone!!

Last night Nat, Dan and myself ventured over to Detling for a catch up with Andrea (aka Murphy), Paul (aka Mr Scotland) and Malcolm.


As it is Burns Night next weekend and two of the party have Scottish heritage the feast prepared was a Burns supper - starting with a delicious hearty broth.  Then Malcolm addressed the haggis, a rhyming poem to announce the savoury pudding's arrival to the dining table:

"Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye worthy o' a grace
As lang's my arm."

And so on.....and do you know what Haggis ain't all that bad considering whats blitzed up in it!!  The food was delicious with a medley of delights to compliment the Scottish sausage including mackerel, neeps and tatties.  

Finished off with a tasty Cranachan and of course washed down with a few glasses (bottles) of Vino.

Then the fun and games began:

So take an After Eight Mint - put it on your forehead and try to navigate it down your face to your mouth without the help of hands!!!  Sounds random but so funny and a tad messy - as you can see:


And to finish off a great evening how about some dramatic lip synching with a microphone, as you do!! 


Oh and a fantastic dance routine to Super Trouper, by the one and only Ms Agnetha Harris!



Also if you are at a loose end try keeping in time to Nicki Minaj's rap in Bang Bang - I tried last night (or early this morning) to no avail....!!

"It's Myx Moscato
It's frizz in a bottle
It's Nicki full throttle
It's oh, oh"

Thanks Detling Duo for a fab night :-)
