I think it was TB initially for tartan bunnets Grin

Well we commemorate Burns night, it's a big thing in Scotland.
Hope everyone's enjoyed their haggis, neeps and totties.

We dont have a smilie for William Shakespeare day or commemorate it all do we?

'Bard' is Celtic in origin, so I'm gonna give RB the victory

BeyondCanSeeTheEmperorsBellend · 25/01/2017 20:33

Well if a bard is a poet, I guess it would depend on whether you consider 'the' poet to be English or Scottish Wink

Though I did laugh at baird, I think both were male!

I have only ever heard Shakespeare referred to as 'the Bard', but I am happy to be corrected. Smile

I had to remind MNHQ last year too. Angry

FruSkogKattOla · 25/01/2017 20:23

But 'the bard' is William Shakespeare surely?

Smile
FruSkogKattOla · 25/01/2017 20:21

No idea. Or I can't remember. You'd have thought it would be 'rb' for Robbie Burns/Rabbie Burns.

We just had haggis and all the bits for dinner. It was lovely. Sadly, DS 16 and DD 15 refused to recite poetry Grin
