Welcome aboard from Illinois! Great introduction and I love Tiger tanks.
I need to get a drone someday because they’re so cool. My son in law owns an agricultural drone business.

Understatement of the year (so far). Welcome to the forum Tiger76. Great group and tremendous information on almost any subject (don't get 'em started on Haggis).

I heard the claim today that at least at one time, import of Haggis to the U.S. was forbidden. Was that because of U.S. regulations or because none was left after the Scots got it all?

Welcome from Argyll and Bute.

There are a lot of heathens on here. Some apparently drink Whiskey.

In the early hours of Saturday morning we had what we thought was an injured haggis brought in, but after listening to the wee thing shouting 'fair fa' your honest sonsie face....... Wee sleekit cow'rin tim'rous beastie....' and 'some hae meat and canna eat' repeatedly for 2 hours, it was obvious he was suffering from sun stroke.
We started him on an irn bru intravenous drip, hot toddies, and shortbread fed little and often.
By Saturday night he was looking much better.
By Sunday morning he was starting to smile and looked like a totally different haggis.
By this afternoon he had finished the shortbread and the full bottle of whisky, and was grinning from lug to lug and is completely away with the fairies. We hope to sober him up and release him onto the Lomonds and Trossachs National Park, so he can grow a bit for next years Burn Night.

Nothing to do with tanks. But I have been frequently asked to be nice to Tigers. So I have started by being nice to Haggis and slowly build up to Tigers.

It really was Doc, It is because (Alledgedly) the creature was imported into the country with it's "Lights" intact. :wtf:
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
