Rabbie Burns

“O would that God the gift might give us, to see ourselves as others see us.”
Robert Burns (25.1.1759 – 21.7.1796)

As a fellow Celt it is only fitting that I should be aware that this year is the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, Scotland's favourite bard.

As a commemorative gesture on this occasion in Metro Apartments Bar we will be offering 20 Baht off the regular price of all Scotch, all day for those wishing to celebrate Burns' birth. So come along with your mates and enjoy 'a wee dram'!

Sunday, 25th January is the date.

As they say in Scots Gaelic:

Òlamaid deoch-slàinte!

===========================

Some Scottish sayings (not from Burns):

May those who love us, love us.

And those who don't love us, May God turn their hearts;

And if He doesn't turn their hearts, May He turn their ankles,

So we will know them by their limping.

May the roof above never fall in;

May we below never fall out.

................................................................................

May the Lord keep you in His hand, and never close His fist too tight on you!
