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!!!
