In a hundred years we will have limond night instead
I ain’t waiting that long. Limond night is nigh!
I didnt come across it properly until as part of a corporate event at one of my jobs. Totally felt out of place while all the posh people giggled away at the "address to the lassies" and "address to the lads". Absolute load of pish. But I dont let that on in public because true patriot etc etc Ill start barking and snarling at somebody if they slag off Burns.
Did you never do something daft for it in primary school? We did. We got a wee shite plate of haggis. This was the 90s.
This attitude was just the reprobates in Carnwadric. Aw the rest of glesga celebrates Burns night. Love the big man. RIP gone but not forgotten.
Celebrating Burn’s night doesn’t mean you’re Scottish - it means you’re middle class.
@@pjl8119 aspirational, I like it!
So how about Patrick's day?
Bums Night more like
I don't know is it not just maybe being in glasgow sort of thing? Like maybe they do celebrate it up north rather than being a class thing. Like some circles I know are well off but dont celebrate it either outside work because of their role in a scottish bank.
Same way being a Scotland fan.tartan army way less common in glasgow.
Facts on facts.
Limmy saying he's middle class is wild. He's definitely above middle class. Nothing wrong with it, just a bit deluded/dishonest to claim
My maw used to get a haggis sometimes for Burns or St Andrews day. Haggis is amazing! The Big log oot the chippy wi fuckin hunners a salt and vinegar tay cool it doon. Yes indeedy. Am gettin wan or 2. Keep it simple. You don't need aw the other stuff. Couple a Tam's big Stoaters tay. Bay-Bay! 😃 👍🏻 Big juicaaay pickles fur burstin in yer gub man. Fuckin quality. Needs to be oot a proper good chippy but. 😊
This is a fucking great comment 😂
McIntosh Haggis Neeps n Tatties £1.25 intae the microwave, banged on a plate. That’s all you need on the 25th.
I googled haggis and I'd rather die than eat it 🤢
@@miorioff I had the pleasure of eating haggis at a charity do once. It was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY tasty.
Best thing about Burns Night is how the supermarkets mark down haggis the week after it happens. Cheap Haggis Week is my annual event, it's awesome
Here. How funny would it be if the haggis started talking back to you?
It's just a good excuse to eat haggis and neck a whisky on a week night
You couldn't be more wrong, haggis is immense
I concur
@@pjl8119 Someone should hold me back fae u... in a game lol
@@pjl8119 better that what's in a Mcdonalds
@@pjl8119 Hardly different to a sausage or something.
Have a similar but different perspective, I grew up quite close to where limmy did n agree I don’t remember anything about burns night at all. Later in life i studied literature at uni and only then did I understand any of why burns was important. It’s not the easiest thing to get across to your average guy what the significance of burns is because it’s very contextual to his time and what scotland was like in the 18th century. And no one really makes the attempt to explain that with working class kids unless you happen to get a really passionate English teacher who can communicate properly. The majority of people’s engagement with burns does start and end with “aye he was a guy from ages ago he wrote poetry in Scots dialect about mice and stuff”, but it’s because no one tells them anything more.
Too right chief
to understand Burns Night you need intelligence.... of a certain kind
Burns
Burns Night is popular in some parts of Canada. Sometimes hosted by such tartan cringe organizations as the Sons of Scotland.
lol
Tartan cringe 😂❤
No true Scotsman
They're the Vlaanderen folk.
These days we should celebrate things like GTA... what has Burns done recently huh?
Mr. Burns: "Bring me my haggis, Smithers. Ex-cellent!"
This stupid comment made me laugh way more than it should have 😂
Burns Night is an english thing them up in Edinburgh celebrate 😉🤣
100% Growing up in Glasgow working class it was never a thing. At most a Burns poem at school
Limmy is too Scottish for Burns night
Burns night (and day) is on my birthday.
It's a proddy thing
I'm middle class, and growing up outside Edinburgh I never knew anyone who did Burns night either, so not sure it's a class thing
Liar
Don't do burns night because they burnt ur hair aff stop keeping grudges grumpy 😂
Get what you’re saying - but read Catherine Carswell - The Life of Robert burns and you’ll want to celebrate the man everyday
Here I was, mistaking him for someone who gives a damn.
like being a protestant in northern ireland on saint patricks day.
I was working class as fuck and we sometimes had haggis out a tin for it
Five star thumbnail ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You never done burns night at school ye had to stand up and do a poem 😂
Wtf is burns night?
So I asked my mother (from working Clackmanninshire) about this very issue...did you do Burns stuff back in the day...and her answer was yes and no...there was always a Burns Night around the local hall but not everybody went or felt welcome there. That said, it was common for mums and grans to do a Burns thing for kids sometimes. It could be a haggis or just some sausages for lunch.
Mums or grans. Very weird paragraph you're typing mate.
It’s celebrating a poet isn’t it. Poetry isn’t big in the working class part of Lancashire I grew up in. Hip Hop is popular but not enough for a regional holiday.
Go take your meds and have a sleep.
Imagine being that negative and downbeat about everything
It's called being Scottish
I grew up on a scheme and my dad was into reading Burns works so celebrated it also at primary school we celebrated Burns aswell.Horses for courses I suppose and 100 percent wasn’t middle class my dad was a Miner.
Liar
Good point. I don't ever remember anyone doing Burns night where I grew up either. Also working class council scheme.
How much of a mutant do you need to be to think burns night is posh 😅😅
He's Glaswegian, his average daily sustenance is tonic wine and Fray Bentos pies. Haggis and whiskey is a big step up from the usual.
Embrace the Iron Brew
Burns night is Tory
Pretty sure Burns was a whig
@@pjl8119 doesn't look short in that department from the angles seen herr
Tell that to the SNP, they're fucking mad for a good Burns night.
@@craigo1981 they're definitely whigs
Mad considering his poetry had quite a socialist thing going on
Jesus, is that how "gang aft agley" is pronounced?
Limmy making about 10 grand a month and thinking he’s middle class is wild
How does that not make him middle class?
@@cubeh8331I was about to make the same reply, but a quick google seems to show that anything above ~£60k a year is upper class, not middle.
@@liamjones9115 class isn't just based on income
He's a national treasure. Above class. Up there with Bonnie Prince Charlie and the rest of them. End of.
@@pjl8119 Thank god for the meal deal - the great equaliser.
Unless you're in the top 0.0000001% and have never heard of a meal deal.
As a young Scots lad, ah didnae gie a fuck aboot Burns Night or St. Andrews Day. Still don't gie a fuck.
Cool.
You're hard mate.
Im English zero Scottish roots or anything but me and my family do hogmanay and burns night meal just purely because its the only time of year when vegetarian haggis is available in English supermarkets. Love the stuff and its become a weird family tradition.
Is this a nationalist/unionist thing in Scotland?
Certain figures lean one way or the other and depending on your background you either celebrate it or not?
Like Patricks Day vs 12th July in Norn Iron
Not really, agree with Limmy it's mainly a class thing
Funny how having an interest in literature is associated with being middle class.
It wasn't always like that though...so much working class culture prior to the second world war was focused around learning things and self education. George Orwell wrote about how well read working class people were in the 1930s despite their limited formal education in The Road to Wigan Pier. After the war, with masses of working class people moving into the expanding middle class, that perception became eroded I think.
@@gustavmarie oh I'm aware of that history. I'm a big believer in the working class reclaiming these cultural norms and values. I think we've been polluted and oversaturated with a culture of bad TV and various other forms of entertainment (football, video games) for decades. It has succeeded in making disadvantaged communities much more docile.
That's not true - he didn't say he never read.
@@deadforever never said he didn't.
You're imagining things.
My family are Irish, we live in England and my Nan always celebrates burns night with some haggis, swede and mash.
Burns is nothing at all to do with the Irish. Your Granny must've been of Scottish heritage. Which means she was of the Vlaanderen folk. Not Celtic like the Irish at all, not one bit.
I'm Irish and celebrate Burns night. Us Celts support each other and a great excuse to drink whiskey 😁
.2013 Didn't know you knew my grandmother so well!
Scots aren't Celts. They're Vlaanderen folk from Flanders. Hence the netherlans dialect Oot, Hoose, Kirk etc. Their Tartans were invented by two immigrant Polish fashionistas. Scots Celtdom is a total myth. @@leedwyer161
@@anvilbrunner.2013piss off cringe.
i.e. "I don't give a shit about history or culture, I'm a vapid doofus who only relates to holidays that involve getting something, like chocolates or presents."
Alright mercy boy relax mate
Yeah, definitely not vapid like feasting on shite and filing it
@@pjl8119never eaten an animal version. But the veggie/vegan haggis' are really nice.
@@pjl8119Shite bait.
If people can’t relate to it it’s because no one has bothered to teach them. The engagement with burns you get in school is that he was some old “ach aye the noo” cunt who wrote about mice and that’s basically it. You can’t expect folk to en masse just start appreciating that it was satirising Calvinist doctrine and documenting a folk culture that was being extinguished by capitalism unless you help them understand it.
