Sorry everyone, I shall be skiing champagne powder in Aspen this weekend (after likely slugging up hill in the backcountry to get the last remaining stashes). So, think of me sweating/freezing and skiing whilst y'all sip some fine scotch. BTW, I got the following email the other day. It's at Pints, it involves tartans, it's for a good cause, and it involves Haggis!!!!!! Here's the email:
