Is there any chance of getting the works of Rabbie Burns added to the site?

A Scotsman advocating the works of Burns -- how odd. But I thought his nickname was Bobby. Is Rabbie brogue by any chance?

"To see ourselves as ithers see us."

Bobby? not for any self respecting scotsman. Robert is generally shortened to Rob or Robbie, which in the west of scotland soon becomes Rab as in Rab C Nesbitt (link (http://members.madasafish.com/~cj_whitehound/Theatre_of_Cruelty/Nesbitt.htm) for people unfamilar with this wonderful satire on glasgow life) or Rabbie as in Rabbie Burns. Roberts are also referred to as Boab but rarely bobby.

Robert Burns (1759-1796) "Poems and Songs of Robert Burns" is on the list to be added to the site.

Yay. And whilst you are busy adding more stories perhaps Rob Roy by Sir Walter Scott?

Yup, it's higher up on the list.
