The Retirement Thread

Not really they generally move around the hillside in only one direction so one leg is shorter than the other. When they accidentally get on flat ground their gait looks a bit strange.

I bow to your superior knowledge

Wow.....a snow plough clearing our street. That’s unusual. We normally get ignored.

when the haggis gets

to the top of the hill they find the shorter leg is on the outside so does not make contact with the o ground They just go base over apex down the hill I understand you can hear their cry’s of pain from miles away

Wow, didn't realise there were so many naturalists on here, do we need to start a wild haggis thread?

Peak huntin/shootin/fishin season for them just now, in preparation for the 25th.

We only get farmed Haggis down here - I presume they don't taste anything like their free range cousins.

You can't say we don't get variety on here, yesterday beds, today haggis.

Haggis tend to make a mess everywhere they go. Not very good eating either that's why there are so many of the buggers around.

Hmm - nice looking snow in the far north

down here we just have miserable fine drizzle/rain - probably cold but I can;t see why I would go out - certainly not on a bike

Met Office says it will last most of the day

Perhaps, Mo, Flick, or Oldwheels can clarify what the plural of Haggis is? Hagisses? Haggi? Haggs?
Mrs Tenkay and I have stayed at several Scottish B+B establishments on our various walking holidays. At several places there was a veggie haggis option on the breakfast menu, I tried it a few times and it ranged from a bit bland to excellent.
