Except the stomach.  Hmm I'll ask him today, I'm sure he can provide.  Anyone
got a recipe for haggis?  Ras, surely you can help?

[HANG ON]  Better ask my better half.

Meliora, Darling,

Can I make Haggis next weekend? I'll promise I wont leave the kitchen festooned
with left-over entrails.  I promise to clean up and wash the dishes
afterwards...

Drakey :)~
