    That didn't last long. You must have been buying haggis. :)

    As we now know it it was the Scottish but the Romans has what can only be described as an early form of haggis and the Norse cooked up something similar,

    I found something new, well new to me anyway and so I'm stealing the opportunity to post a question.
    What is the "Bortle" scale used to measure?

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    Name the only non-Commonwealth participant nation in the ICC cricket world cup.
