I thought the original quote was "there will be dancing on the streets of Raith tonight" as said by an English football commentator referring to Raith Rovers fans. Of course, there is no such place (Raith Rovers play in Kirkcaldy), but this only heightened the appeal of the quote.

The rest, as they say, is tragedy.<br><br>I could be wrong, but I somehow doubt it. Okay, maybe just a little bit. Anyway, I hope this helps clear absolutely everything up.<br><br>Kind regards and greetings from Ireland.....<br><br>(And a Happy Burns Night to you, too.)The Periodic Englishmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09539963852299891988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870143465614132758.post-54559901527921417422007-01-25T11:37:00.000-08:002007-01-25T11:37:00.000-08:00I have just realised that this is a very suitable ...I have just realised that this is a very suitable to have a the top of my blog on Burn's night!<br><br>Yours through a glass darkly!Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00525444717679391831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870143465614132758.post-82186163795573790812007-01-25T00:52:00.000-08:002007-01-25T00:52:00.000-08:00Thank you all for your comments.
