Would actually've been nice to get it at The eagle and child next time we visit Oxford... Wife part of us loves haggis even though she's pregnant - and that says it all. Well, we're norwegians and used to weird food. And by the way -hey, Ron! How are you? We finally got ourselves on to this page. We usually use the computer for emails and paying bills, so it took some time! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

LOL! The only "concoction" here, Diana, is Michael's story about that bird! I do agree with your description of the real haggis though. YUK! (Hey, guys, love the Tartans and pipes though!) LOL Barb! is it the tartens you love or the lack of underwear those guys dont wear under their kilts? lol. It is said that when the 'clans' used to fight their enimies they would run at them with their kilts held high, its no wonder that the enemy fled when they were faced with 500 wild hairy men bearing down on them with their crown jewels swinging to and fro. lol Puts me in mind of an annual "Polar Plunge" that they do in Maine every year in January. There is a team of men who take the plunge, buck naked, in the nearly frozen waters off the Maine coast. Let me tell you...women are not the only ones who sag when they get older. I will never be the same again. My eyes hurt for days. I thought I had gone blind...or wish I had. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Glad you finally made it to the very best website bar none. Please do try to join in here in the forum whenever you can and I promise I will ask the Eagle and Child if they can put Haggis on the Menu especially for you! Now that you have found this wonderful site, I wonder shall we see some photographs of your honeymoon trip to England and the C. S. Lewis Tour? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

At least I didn't have to see it in person as you did. Thanks, Diana! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I'm certain that after the dip they were tighter than an airport sandwich in cling film. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Tell us a little bit about yourselves (maybe you just got married or something!!). Maybe you visited Oxford for example. LOL My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Like the nurse says,... "and what bit of "Blarny" do we have under the this sir!"...and picks up the kilt hem for an peek...as he grins pleasantly.... A cartoon picture I once saw. Doctor probably comes in an says.,,I do say....nice socks there Mr. McDonald!.... No wonder nurses out rank doctors numberically in the medical society. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
