Snow pics - 'tis the season and all that.

Got stuck in a huge tailback this morning on the way to work so I snapped a few pics on my camera phone just outside Pitcaple on the A96






Anyone else? If so where are they taken?

Re: Snow pics - 'tis the season and all that.

indeed but there is a knack to it.

You see they evolved to have either the left legs shorter than the right or visa versa depending on how close you are to Glenshee. The ones with shorter legs on the right, the red breasted fighting Haggis, run round the hills clockwise and, yes you guessed it, the ones with shorter legs on the left are the other breed. The lesser spotted anti-clockwise Haggis.

What you need to do is dab a little bit of Isle of Jura 18 year old malt on the nose of the lesser spotted Haggis. This disorientates them and makes them run clockwise meaning you can catch them with ease.

I wouldn't advise trying this on the fighting Haggis though. Whisky makes them angry.

You do realise this is the first documented Haggis entrapment text on the internet don't you?

Dude, he's Welsh. There's nothing you can teach him about getting animals tipsy then cornering them















No snow round here yet, just sodding ice/frost
