27.67% for John
13.69% for Bob (as he's going slower and his man boobs could act as a cushion)

Ice? You sure it's not a haggis on the track or perhaps a stray bagpipe?

Come on to hell...... Haggis hibernate, you know that surely!!

And bagpipes all head up to Edinburgh Castle to get a good feeding, a good fattening up before the Tattoo on NYE.

Man... do you know nothing! *shakes head*

Oh wonderful! I'll get to see the bagpipes when I'm in Edinburgh for new Year!


And I didn't know haggis hibernate. I learn something new everyday.
