• A Scottish comic has rewritten Robbie Burns' classic poem 'Address to the Haggis' - and renamed it 'Address to the Deep-fried Mars bar'.
  "Paul Sneddon penned the new ode, which mocks the dietary habits of his compatriots and their penchant for alcopops...
  ''Robbie Burns is the embodiment of a lot about what is good about Scotland and a lot about what is not so good about Scotland,'' said Sneddon.
  ''He wrote incredibly moving poetry and romantic verse. And yet he was a drunk and a womaniser. "
