Haggis Herders – Rare Photo


The Haggis, rich in vitamins and minerals is reputed to give the Scots super human powers, making Scottish soldiers feared worldwide.

The largest domesticated Scottish haggis herd to ever exist was raised in the town of Selkirk, nestled in the Scottish Borders.

Their faces were much cherished for use as Sporans on Burns Night.

These are the Lowland Haggis. They can be differentiated from the Highland Haggis by examining their legs. The Highland variety had shorter legs on one side to enable them to run around the mountains.

Unfortunately, this led to their extinction as they could only run one way and were easily caught.

There has always been a huge argument amongst highland Jocks and lowland Jocks as which was the best for Burns Night.

Community Service


One day, a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, ‘I can’t accept money from you, I’m doing community service this week.’ The florist was pleased and left the shop.

When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, ‘I can’t accept money from you, I’m doing community service this week.’ The cop was happy and left the shop.

The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there was a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen doughnuts waiting for him at his door.

Then, an MP came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, ‘I can’t accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.’ The MP was very happy and left the shop.

The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen MPs lined up waiting for a free haircut.

And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.

As Margaret Thatcher said: “Both politicians and nappies need to be changed often and for the same reason!”

It was my birthday recently. My daughter took me out for a birthday meal. This little fella appeared during the meal, then followed me home. He has now taken up residence on our deck !!!

The Plank


This movie short holds a very dear place in my memories and although a little dated it still makes me laugh.

Much of my time watching this is spent star spotting. With the likes of Eric Sykes, Jimmy Edwards, Tommy Cooper, Jimmy Tarbuck, James Hunt …. the list goes on

I hope you find it as humorous as I do

Imagine if ‘Charivarius’, the author of this piece, had to get down with the kids and rewrite this and acknowledge that bad means good, that sick means good and so on and so forth.
