Hiya.

Hello, all my friends out there in TOG World.
I'm TOG Haggis but I prefer to be called just plain Haggis, that's me in the pic BTW incase you had'nt guessed.

I just cannot convey to you guy's how excited I am when I think of my future travels around the globe to be with all you guy's. I just know I am going to meet so many new friends and who knows, maybe even a lady haggis (we may then create many haggi, if my luck's in).

GREETINGS!
----------First few days---------------


My first day with Keasy is a tad hard to recall as I was a tad confused. Keasy told me I was clubbed and caught by his good friend Wooster. He say's I was hiding under a hedge outside Wooster's house. I was apparently brought to Keasy's on a noisy thing called a motor bike, Wooster has one but, I don't remember much about Wooster appart from a dreadful stench simmilar to wet dog. I do remember his voice was kindly though and that he reassured me constantly after clubbing me.

----------A lesson learned------------

Thats me having a go at Keasy's vodka. Boy, was I unprepared for the consequences of that!


He kicked me!
Then threatened to set me on fire!


Then demonstrated to me what treatment haggis usually recieves in his house!







But he then grabbed me, apologised and took this touching picture (I was frightened)

Well, I think I have to go to Wooster's next and look forward to it. Keasy tells me Wooster will introduce me to a thing called Buckfast, it sounds like fun!

Untill my next post in Keasy's care, or it maybe in another country with a nicer carer...till then, bye for now all my TOG friends.


-----update-----

Hi gang.
Sorry for the lack of updates. Keasy had planned on taking me to work but his bosses disagreed. He works for a charity that helps disabled people, mainly cerebral palsy. Even though keasy showed his clients my blog and they agreed to see me and have pics took, keasy's manager disagreed. So much for empowerment and creating equality. Keasy say's I have to drop the subject as it's getting him irate that his managers can't practice what they preach.

So, whilst keas was at work I had to amuse myself. It wasnt so bad actually. I made good friends with his two son's Lewis (the oldest) and Ben (the youngest).








I liked them a lot, even though I was never too sure when the next little mouth was going to encase me and apply a great amount of pressure via little baby teeth.

Thats me with Lewis, he's giving me a little kiss...he's a dam site better looking than his dad.

And that little blondie is Ben...I liked him, he is a wee cutie for sure.

That pic is wee Lewis calming me to sleep with little gentle strokes, Ben is saying "ssshhhh". Awwww, bless.

-----Mischief----------

I had a great time with the bairns as we call them inScotland, but I had some fun after they were in bed.



That's me having a swing on keasy's new light fittings he just put up. Hehe!


I had a little shot of the PC, playing BF2 with The TOG Euro Division The Headless Horsemen.


Me with Babs the bitch. I still dont understand what it was she was making me do, it felt funny but in a nice way.


I became good friends with keasy's wife in his absence.


I dont know what these things are, I found them in the kitchen and thought they looked good on me!

--------till next time-----

I think my stint with keasy is almost over. He say's I have to get some pics with Wooster the guy that captured me, but that time is running short and it may not happen
.
I am told I am off to a place called The United States of America next. Apparently it's a mega brill place full of big cars, fast food and friendly types.
Someone named Mother Flanker has to take charge of my care over there. I can't wait, keasy say's some good stuff about him.

I've enjoyed myself in Scotland and will miss my home land very much, but I am really excited at the prospect of my travells and opportunities that lie ahead. Good friends to be made.

Love Haggis xxx
-------------------------
Thats Haggis in transit to The States folks.
Stay tuned for American stars and stripes fun!
keasy.



------A stranger in America-------

Well, I Made it and oh what a wonderful trip!

It took several day to get to America and I was so tired that I decided to crawl back into my sleeping bag and take a nap in Mother's mailbox till he got home.
You can imagine my surprise when I woke up to a frenzy of giggles and squeals as i was poked and squeesed by two little sets of curious fingers while they tried to figure out what was inside the little bag they had pulled from the mailbox.



"I bet it's a dog" One little boy squeeked
"No, no it feels like a bird" a little girl said.

Honestly I didn't think they would ever let me out of there!

Here I am In my Sleeping bag.

I have to say once they did I was greeted by the nicest to little humans I've met since Keasey House! This is Mother's Son and Daughter!



They gave me great places to sit!


Mother's Daughter helped me write my first letter then both of them drew a picture of me!

This is what the letter says:

From Haggis
Icame from Scot land all the way to America.
It was a very bumpy ride.
When the Flankers unwrapped meI was so happy to see them
They said I was cute!
Mother's beutiful children helped me write this letter and then drew pictures of me.

Well it's off to bed for me!
Since Mother's daughter isn't feeling very well I told him I would cuddle with her tonight to try and make her feel better.

I'll write more later!

Hello Again!

Well what a wonderfull time I have been having here at Mother’s House! We have been doing all kinds of new things I have never done before.








A few days ago Mother’s kids drew more pictures of me and sang songs from my homeland “Oh Danny Boy!, The pipes, the pipes are calling ….



Then Mother’s son took me to his school and did a report we had prepared on where I was from and all the places I will be going!




But after a while Mother said it was time to go to work and learn the family business!




He said I would need to get a lot tougher if I was going to "wise up".








Here I am learning to deal with lifes little problems the Flanker way (the baseball bat was a little to big for me so Mother gave me this!









Here I am learning to move quickly. “OK so tell me again Mother, What do I do when you flick the switch?”








He he, I just decided to take a ride this when Mother wasn’t looking. Boy! Was it fun! It gave me a funny feeling I still can’t quit describe.






Here is a picture of Mother when he found out!







But after all was said and done Mother told me I did such a good job that I was now part of his family!







(Sigh) All things must come to an end and before I knew it it was time to head to my next place.







I hope this Calith guy is as friendly as Mother said he is.







Till then









-Haggis


---Stay tuned folks!

------Arrived Down Under-------

After a big rest in my little cocoon, I arrived in this place called "Australia". Mother packed me a nice blanket that his children had drawn of me, which I thought was very nice. It was sad to leave such nice people (even though they talk funny!), but this Cailith guy doesn't seem as nasty as Mother said he was.

Cailith took me out of my little cocoon, and the bright light hurt my eyes. I had been on my own for several weeks having a sleep, so it was nice to see new people (they talk even more funny than Mother and his family!) It's quite hot here as it heads toward Summer, so I'd better be sure I don't get cooked!








Here is me getting a hug from Cailith's daughter Laura! She's cute and still has that new baby smell!

--- Spring in Australia ---

It's the weekend and Cailith has some time to show me around my new surroundings in Australia. Cailith lives on 5 acres in a place called "Tamborine", so there's lots of space! It's really hot here today, so after having a conversation with a local koala I thought I'd have a go at climbing a tree to get into the shade. That dam over there looks inviting, nice and cool!


Cailith let me help him get the fire pit stocked up for this evening when it cools down. I hope he doesn't throw me in!


Later on when it cools down Cailith said he would let me help him mow the property. I hope he lets me drive the tractor, it sounds fun!

--- Boys and their toys ---

We went for a look in Cailith's shed. It's funny in there, lots of cool toys. Wow, this big red thing reminds me of that thing that Wooster had!


I can't reach the clutch here. Hang on, something looks loose down there, let me take a look...


There, that got it. Say...don't you ever clean this thing, I can't see a thing out this screen!


Now I'm feeling all manly in a haggis kind of way, think I'll pump some iron. Will you spot for me Cailith?



-- More to follow!

------My Adventures in the Swamp-------

Hi everyone! I landed here in some sort of swamp last Wednesday. The calendar said that was November 8, 2006. There's a man called Yankee (I think he's like Mother a bit except he doesn't dress in drag), a woman called Gator (she's small and round and has a BIG pointy stick) and there's this TEENAGER sort of thing that kidnapped me after I arrived and took me out for a day at her school at Rutherford. She had sports that day but they play this strange game called volleyball where everyone sits around at a desk and looks at a movie. I didn't understand it very well and I never found out who won but they were doing strange things with me at the back of the room. :-O Stay tuned for more!





------What Happened Next------






I just learnt to drive a fourby! We were all going out on the boat (well - except for the teenager - she likes to sleep a lot on the weekends!) so Yankee let me hold the steering wheel while he operated the foot pedals. I did try for a bit to steer and operate them but it got exhausting jumping from the wheel to the floor and back up again!






Haggis at the wheel

Anyway, we took the boat down to the water and all piled on board and went fishing! I didn;t catch anything because I don't have opposable thumbs to pick up the rod and reel the fish in! We went for a "hoon" ride up the Hunter River after that to a place called Morpeth where we parked the boat under an old bridge for lunch!






Haggis at Morpeth


And here is Gator with me on the boat!






Here is Yankee driving the boat - he uses that funny hand sign to Gator a LOT!










And ME at the wheel!






------I'm the King of the World!!!------





It's time for me to move on again now, I think. My next stop is South Australia so I will see you all when I get there!




Hang on, N3uRoTiC- I'm commmiinnngggggggggg!!!!!!!





And on my way as well.





Haggis xxx









--------------Haggis @ N3uRoTiCS-------------------




21st December 2006






Well I finally made it to N3uRoTiCS house, I had to make a slight detour after that nice Gator lady sent me to the wrong address, N3uRoTiC was nice enough to come and pick me up, It was really nice to be able to finally get out of my sleeping bag after my extended trip.








N3uRoTiCS girlfriends son Jordy is nice, He lets me sleep in his room and he even made me my own bed.




Here I am playing BF2142, Damn I'm better than N3uRoTiC at it, You can call me Captain Hairy McHaggis :-)




Here I am with one of N3uRoTiCS workmates, Who is also one of my fellow countrymen.He invited me over for dinner one night, but little did I know I was to be his Dinner, Lucky for me N3uRoTiC saved me and had to explain to him that this Little Haggis is not for eating.







Anway I'll post some more pics in a few days.






------------------------------------------------------------------------






29th December 2006








Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Toggers.



Sorry it's a bit late but I've been helping N3uRo with his PC.







This is Haggis House, It's made out of gingerbread, At least if i get hungry in the middle of the night I can take a bite out of the wall, A bit like Haggis & Gretel.








Ummm N3uRo.....Which wire did you want again?







Yep I can see where that wire leads to, Are you sure you want me to plug it in, Don't you think you should shut the PC down first.



More To Come........






5th January 2007







Here I am checking out N3uRo's pool fillter, "damn N3uRo, look at all the crap in there"


Here I am about to go for a swim, The days can get pretty warm here in Adelaide, Lucky for me N3uRoTiC has a nice big solar heated pool, A little Haggis like me doesn't like the heat much and we don't like really cold pool water either.

And my last pic from N3uRoTiC's is me just having a lazy day swimming and floating around the pool.










Anyway it's time for me to get back in to my sleeping bag and head off to mighty1u2's house in the US.





I'll post some pics when I arrive.

Haggis.

______________________________________________





Well,
Here I am with Mighty1u2 in The US. It was a long trip from the other side of the world, but I did meet a nice girl on the way. As you can see, she really likes me. It could be love.




Mighty introduced me to some of his buddies. This is a picture of me with his friend Threeleggedfrog. I only saw 2 legs, I never did find out what happened to the other leg.


I also got to meet Mighty's dog, Frank Furter. Frank took an instant liking to me. I'm pretty sure I do not like Frank at all.


Mighty took me fishing. It was great fun, I got to be the bait!

Mostly I went for a nice swim. Mighty didn't catch any fish. Honestly, I was a little releived.

Mighty kept telling me I couldn't leave untill we got to the beach, but we had to wait untill the weather was nice on a weekend. He finaly took me and we had a great time. The sun was warm, and the breeze was cool.


I'm on my way back to Australia now to visit Judge_kiwi. I'm not sure why I have to see a judge, I swear I didn't do anything wrong. There was that one instance with the sheep, but I don't see how they could have pinned that one on me!

I'll write more when I get to judge_kiwi's,

Haggis.
