    Surely there must be a better example than that to copy!

    He reads the whole thing rather than reciting it with all the actions. The highlight is always when you stab the haggis and trench "..its gushing entrails bright."

    It's no fun if you just say it.

    And you can frighten the life out of your guests at the ".. an' legs an' arms an' heads will sned like taps o' thrissle" bit if you cut loose with your sgain dubh.

    We can debate whether tartan is historially accurate on Burns' Night but most folks want to see a flash of the cloth on such occasions and it seems to me to be a pity to deny them that too.

    Not the way to do it at all
