Stranded French Pipe Band
The snowy weather continues to create chaos, stranding a French pipe band in Haddington, East Lothian.

Hey just think if they are walking distance to a nice pub that serves food they could have all they makings for a good time! Food, drink and good music.
Well, of course, I say "BAH" to the too cold comment but YMMV.
I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

You mean, like the Rongovian Embassy? Do they still serve drinks called the Suffering Bastard, Dying Bastard and Dead Bastard?
I grew up on Congress Street in Trumansburg, and went to Cornell University.
