HAPPY BURNS NIGHT

“I pick my favourite quotations and store them in my mind as ready armour, offensive or defensive, amid the struggle of this turbulent existence.”





If you are Scottish or have any links with Scotland you will know that tonight is Burns Night! A celebration of the life and times of Robert Burns celebrated all around the world on the anniversary of his birth.


“The best plans of men and mice often go awry”

“But to see her was to love her, Love but her, and love forever”

“What signifies the life o' man, An' 'twere na for the lasses O”

“There is no such uncertainty as a sure thing”

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT!

Happy Friday :) And Burns night.

I like the first quote, wish I was skilled at that! On the ready with some verbal armour.

have a fantastic weekend, hope the weather is dryer in your world. Glad you enjoyed the Sister Disco. Did you mean that Keith isn't a strong drummer or Kenny Jones?

Hi Grace.
Happy Burns night, yeah isn't verbal armour a tremendous asset!

After Keith The Who have never had a strong drummer Grace. Kenny's great and more 'musical' but doesn't make the drums come out of the track and hit you! As for Zak, there is No Comment!!

I love a good single malt especially when its 10 degrees! If someone comes a posting by the name of peeps be wary he has been filling my page with drivel I deleted all his posts but think he may head out and pick on people on my blog roll. A royal pain in the arse Peace out JW Oh love the picks, not to the gutter!
