Very social group down here.

If we're not riding together, we're watching bike racing/taking the piss out of Ducatis together. And if we're not doing that together, we're playing pool/getting pissed together. And if we're not.......you get the idea.

Sounds like fun, might even make another trip down for it (in a plane this time = can't afford another gearbox rebuild yet)...

Glenmorangie is my poison...

In that case, I'll give it a miss.

Ohh crap aye..... I dont like me chances of walking across the straight on the way home after a night on the Malts so I might have ta have a couple here for ya's.
Lets see sitting up on the shelf at the mo is a 18yr Glenlivet, Talisker, 105 proff Glenfarclas, 18yr Glenmorangie (shit thats a sweet drop) and my fav Oban.

ps: ya know were you can stick the Haggis

Ooch Ya Welly bastards, canne make it ta Welly until after calving

Canne the Jaffa Clan organise a haggis and dram evening for a poor Northlander.

Fu*k you Welly lot have a lot of fun. Hope to meet some of you at the BBQ (I just might be able to make that).

I'll contribute to the Islay Segment, but not from Jura
I have a bottle of 10 year old Talisker from the Isle of Skye.

I also have bottle of Glenfiddich for the Highland sector, but it is the 15 year old Solera Reserve, and I actually like it.

So there.

So after the initial frisson of excitement, it looks like currently we have about seven potential partakers:

Hitcher
Hitcher's brother
Celticno6
Jim2
SVS
Celtic_sea_lily
Wkid_one

A few more folks would make it more entertaining.
Cost for a ceremonial Haggis is about $40 (I know somebody who knows where they graze). It would pay to have a kitchen adjacent to the gargre, as Haggis, neeps and tatties are best served hot. There is a bit of a trick too to cooking Haggis.
Just looking at the addresses of the above participants, location of a suitable gargre tends to suggest somewhere Hutt Valley-ish??
Does anybody know a piper? If you can find one who likes malts and haggis, they may contribute their services for nothing or, even better, contribute to the costs...
Also, does anybody know somebody with a decent Scots brogue who can recite the Ode to the Haggis?
It is more fun if these events aspire to a bit of authenticity, rather than just being a piss up.
