Hi guys, it is now Burns' Night here and in celebration, I thought I would
share one of his wee poems with you. So from Robert Burns in 1791, take it
away...

When first my brave Johnie 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 Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!
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 Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!
That was (strangely enough), 'Johnie Lad, Cock Up Your Beaver.'

I don't know about Scotland, but over here, Burn's Night is the night that
comics donate money to the James Vernon Fund. How'd that go this year, Stu?
