Sandman Sandman Update As posted on the original intro I'm the Sandman or SM to most. I was born in July 1948 and was the first Caesarean section performed in the hospital. My dad witnessed the operation and he told me he offered the doctor 30 quid to put me back in. My dad was not impressed with me at all. He said I was such an ugly baby, it was 6 months before my mom knew what end to feed. I have some fond memories of growing up. The next door neighbours mother in law was killed by a mad dog. My dad went to the funeral early to see if he could buy it. We were a very poor family and there was no way I would ever get a Mamod for Xmas. We were so poor, we couldn't afford laxatives, so my mom used to sit me on a potty and tell me ghost stories. I can always say my school was approved. The teachers used to frisk us for weapons on the way in and if we didn't have any they gave us some. Despite all I did grow up and of course started to go to the pub. We had rough pubs in our town. They had bouncers at the door to throw the drunks in. But I survived all that and eventually found toy steam and this forum. I've never looked back since. Thanks everyone for your help and your friendship. Sandman.

It was a great laugh at the time when we saw what a Haggis was supposedly meant to look like Sandman John Chapman wrote: MTA wrote: Sandman wrote: Of Course. As sure as I hunt haggis in season.

Brought a tear to my eye it did. As a seasoned haggis hunter, it's right up my street. Chris Let me know if you bag more than you can eat yourself. I like a nice haggis. Sandman Chris wrote: Let me know if you bag more than you can eat yourself. I like a nice haggis. I'll keep you in mind mate. Chris Thanks. I have considered farming them to feed the southern appetite for haggis, but farmed ones just don't have the same flavour. I think it must be like salmon, best wild and scottish.

I think it must be like salmon, best wild and scottish. I have to agree. Natural haggis are much better in the taste department, but much smaller than the farmed variety. No comparison. Graham-Jilly The picture of the hagis on that website looks like a bloated platypus oh well the scots are trying to pinch our native animals oldstuff Re: Sandman Update Sandman wrote: ...The next door neighbours mother in law was killed by a mad dog.
