Somethin' Completely Different |
|
| Robbie Burns' Birthday Dave Edson is determined to round out our knowledge of everything that is important in life... and that extends well beyond programming Visio. The month of January is an ideal opportunity for us all to re-acquaint ourselves with some very fine old-world culture.

 January 25th is
the birth date of Robert Burns.For those o’ ye who dinnae ken (don’t know) who Rabbie Burns is, I suggest tha’ ye soundly thrash yer Literature Teacher oor Professor. Rabbie Burns was simply one of the most brilliant poets e’er tae grace the printed oor spoken ward! In honour o’ his birthday, each an’ every year in Scotland as weel as many places the world o’er, a Burns' Nicht Supper is held tae feast, recite his wards an’ offer toasts tae his immortal memory! I would like to include here the text of Auld Lang Syne, as written by Robert Burns. Auld Lang Syne Should auld acquaintance be forgot, For auld lang syne, my dear And surely ye 'll be your pint' stowp, For auld lang syne, my dear We twa hae run about the braes, For auld lang syne, my dear We twa hae paidl'd in the burn For auld lang syne, my dear And there's a hand, my trusty fiere, For auld lang syne, my dear "Haste ye back." Dave "The Auld Scotsman" Edson
