Burns' Night

Another great night at TABLEtalk and great to see some new faces come along!  We celebrated Burns' Night, probably along with 90% of Scotland.  
Robert Burns was a famous Scottish poet who wrote the poem 'Address to the Haggis'.              I attempted the first verse in my very best Scottish accent, which all the students were impressed with (thank goodness there were no actual Scottish people present!!).    Our evening consisted of a Scottish Quiz; matching words with their means. This included lots of my favourites, like ...  shoogle, peely-wally, blether, crabbit, eejit, etc.   Ahmad took the prize, scoring 6 out of 12!!  Hazem demanded a re-sit and managed to improve his results from zero out of 10, to 1 out of 10 :-)                                                In addition we ate haggis, neeps and tatties and learned the Canadian Barn Dance.                   

For those who missed the evening, here are a few moving photos care of Basel (please don't ask me how this works, it just does!!!).


All good fun!!!
