Anyone celebrating burns night tonight i'm not scottish but i'll be having haggis tatties and neeps and a few whiskies plus a few pints :D any excuse to have a few slurps for a good cause :thumb: :drink:
 
I shall be raising a wee dram on 25th :cool:

Maybe we should have a forum poetry night - might be an eye opener!
 
To a Pint (In the rough style of Burns)

Whit malty hart ye huv my love
granted by the man above
yer body huds a state o grace
aw fit ta fill a sauncie face
yer scent fills my nose sae weel
Wi pepper an some citrus peel
a heid so bright and viscose clear
you ur the perfect pint my dear

The 12 inch extended version continues thus (in the style of MEB)

a luvley pint you will agree
but 14 is enough for me
and someone added too much gas
So im playing trumpets with my ***
 
This is probably crap but here goes :lol:

Grain to Glass

First decide on your grain bill,
Then weigh them out, mash tun to fill.
The mash it smells so hot and sweet,
Close taps or you could burn your feet!
Then you sparge to rinse your grain,
For how much sugar you will gain.
Add hops when you finally reach a boil,
It's worth all the trouble and toil.
Your hot wort then gets a chill,
Empty fermenters you have to fill!
Pitch the yeast and it will bubble,
If it doesn't you're in big trouble.
Bottle or keg when it is done,
Sit down, get drunk and have some fun.
From grain to glass is the best part,
You're homebrew is a work of ART!
 
A simple mix. hops and barley grain
This mix will drive some men insane
a squeeze of this a drop of that
creation in the brewing vat
Then shout at it "ferment much quicker"
You splendid keg - handcrafted liquor
 
:clap:

I think i'll drink and drink some more,
oh crap i'm laying on the floor.
the room spins around, what do i see,
the mrs looking down at me.
"look at you pissed up once more",
"you'd better not pee on my floor".
you climb still clothed into your bed,
you wake up with an aching head.
swear that you were not 'that' drunk,
but your mouth feels like you ate a skunk.
a hearty breakfast and you feel fine,
tonight I think i'll stick to wine.
 
By the way. I did the traditional thing Tatties Neeps and Haggis... It was lovely... Im off to knock into some white McKays and mutter about lassies sauncie faces

:lol: Missed this before - I love haggis - yep, we had haggis neeps and tatties too :party:
Did you recite a poem ... and drink whisky.

Lets resite one now from the great mcgonnagal ( the worlds worst poet) ( subtitles below for the southern element)( best enjoyed when recited with a heavy Glaswegian accent and when the audience is very very very drunk)

On yonder hill there stood a coo
it musthuv moved
its no there noo

Coo = Cow
Musthuv = must have
yonder = pronunced yoan-ner
