Cock up your beaver

[winjim]

It's Burns night tonight, so cock up your beaver and celebrate with a wee dram.

I.
When first my brave Johnnie lad
Came to this town,
He had a blue bonnet
That wanted the crown;
But now he has gotten
A hat and a feather, -
Hey, brave Johnnie lad,
Cock up your beaver!

II.
Cock up your beaver,
And cock it fu' sprush,
We'll over the border
and gie them a brush;
There's somebody there
We'll teach better behaviour -
Hey, brave Johnnie lad,
Cock up your beaver!​

Good job this is not a US site or you might get severely reprimanded.

And there was me thinking Burns was awfull :-^

Ah, Robert Burns.

Or Rabbie Burns to Scottish People

Or Rabbi Burns to Jews

Overrated tosh....

 

[Brandane]

Overrated tosh....

(agreed, by the way; from a Scotsman! ).

Brilliant. My boss just walked past my desk and I didn't have time to minimise the screen.
My upcoming review might get interesting!

Haggis & neeps

Ah, Robert Burns.

Or Rabbie Burns to Scottish People

Or Flabbie Burns to Weight Watchers.

Ah, bonnie Scotland. The Northern Iskes will always be close to my heart.

On a happier note, if Alex Salmond gets his own cell he will finally have achieved a kind of independence.

 

[NorthernDave]

Burns night eh?

Best open the whisky - the question is Jura or Talisker...?

 

[Drago]

Neither, Laphroaig.
