I apologise for the rampant gibberish I was typing last night.
By way oif explanation allow me to explain my saturday schedule:
3.30pm- get up
3.45pm- eat a pasta salad
4-10pm- in the wearmouth bar
10-12 typing uter gibberish on h2g2
12- went to the kebab shop and bought myself a large garlic bread, a haggis and five crabsticks
12.30- went to sleep
6.20am today- got up to watch the grand prix.
I maintain that my state was not my fault though- I blame UEFA and Newcastle breweries

Haggis are small burrowing nocturnal rodents native to the Scottish highlands. They're shot at night by trained hunters, then dipped whole in batter, deep fried and served with chips

I tried some once and it wasn't to my taste, but neither is liver, kidneys, tripe or brains.
But black pudding I occasionally get a craving for (must be when I'm anaemic or something) and the only way I can get any is if I head off down to a motorway services for an all day breakfast!

Another major, but little known fact about haggii, is that both their right legs are considerably shorter than their left ones. Consequently they can only run clockwise around mountainsides.

I'd settle for a couple of velociraptors.

There's nowt wrong with haggis. although I concede you have to have been drinking all day to think it goes well with crabsticks and garlic bread!

It is not enough that a thing be right, if it be not fit to be done. If not prudent, though just, it is not adviseable. He that loses by getting, had better lose than get.

Is that quotation in reference to haggis, or have I missed something?

I'm assuming it's referring to Comissioner Rude, but then I do need to have everything spelled out tome these days. HRT has rotted my brain cell.

I just read through the Atelier backlog, so I guess you're right. But you have to admit, the quotation could apply just as well to haggis.
