Been lactose intorenent since I can remember.Now in the last 10 years or so more and more things seem not to agree with me. Normal service should be resumed tomorrow in the bottom department hopefully and I'll add Aldi haggis to the list of avoid things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OB Haggusses or haggi are notoriously hard to breed in captivity, Miss Ana Phylactic a greek zoology student managed to procure two haggi for breeding purposes from deep underground and found that the hermaphrodite Haggis will only breed if they have been formerly introduced.

Yellow Bear Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Kent is also not good haggis country as it is too flat. Haggi with their leg configuration of 2 short on one side and 2 long on the other fall over and cannot move if the slope if insufficiently steep.

amateur Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I've always believed that haggus - the correct plural of haggis - are an alien species south of the border, or certainly south of the Thames and should be shot on sight with an approved FAC gat gun. I am astonished that you are contemplating breeding them in civilisation - although I suppose that an exception might be made for Kent. 2 minutes ago, islandgun said: Two mature pandi with young offspring...

Surely pandae is the plural of panda The breeding program has been implemented to preserve the genetic purity of the species over the border there are a lot of cross breeding on haggis farms trying to create fatter better tasting offspring even heard of the attempted crossing of them with the north pennine black pudding so it’s up to the southerners to ensure that they remain a true blood stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
