You're missing the point, completely. To have Haggis, you first have to go to and capture one.
You mean, at the supermarket? The staff throw them around?
No - wait on the hillside for one to run past and grab it.
Haggis have one leg shorter than the other - as such they can only run round hills in one direction easily (they limp badly in the other direction, as if they're lame).
One can easily tell if a haggis is about to arrive because of the loud panting noise they make. Haggis are not particularly fit creatures, which makes them easy to catch.
Most of this will be lost if you are a) too young to have met anyone b) have no sense of humour c) have no social life and hence never hear amusing stories and concepts or d) a chavvy moron that refuses to read because its boring, refuses to learn because its uncool and refuses to use vowels in any form of communication because it takes too long

Getting closer to artificial wet races.

This + the Bernie interview in which this was mentionned it already... (Okay Bernie sometimes likes to throw total nonsence just for the fun of having clueless journalists taking what he says seriously... But this time it sounds half-serious IMO).

one of the daftest ideas I've ever heard. Artificial rain? what are they going to do, put the race under SC so the water truck can spray over the surface?
No - fit the track with sprinklers like at other circuits. Proven technology, and can be activated at a moments notice.
Surely those sprinklers have to be as even as the surface or else they'll get run over by cars going off/crashing. Artificial rain is still a stupid idea, though.
Did anyone watch last season at all? I thought it was bloody entertaining already.
One thing about god is you can't accuse him of favouring certain teams or drivers with a well-timed downpour. This idea is complete nonsense, must be tongue-in-cheek.
Just use a 'standard' system that looks up the chance of rain and multiplies it - e.g. average 10% chance of rain at that time of year becomes 60%, average of 50% becomes 90%, and then apply the sprinklers automatically based on that, windspeed, etc.
In effect use a computer rain simulator (as in GP4 for example) but connected to the sprinkler network. 'Random' rain that favours nobody, and is out of direct control of the FIA.

I do not think this suggestion of Bernie should be taken too seriously. If it will be implemented, it will only lead to conspiracy theories from teams that are disadvantaged by the timing of the "rain".
In my opinion the moveable wings and kers are allready too artificial for proper racing, with fake rain in the mix F1 will turn into something less related to racing than mario kart.

Yes, but who would've thought that let's say like 10 or 15 years ago, artifices like KERS and moveable wings would be implemented one day?
(and yes, you're right about the conspiracy theory, but look, the marshalls can already manipulate quite a lot of races by throwing Safety Cars whenever there is a small debris anywhere near the racing line...)Shows well in which direction F1 is going, and that's no good IMO. This "suggestion" has been going for a little while already. Of course F1 is not ready for this yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to implement something similar in mid/long term.
Non, it's a stupid old gag, like geordie women being slappers, or scousers robbin stuff. It's old.
Erm, it's nothing like the poor stereotypes you've suggested. It's not a stereotype. It's a ficticious animal to explain what Haggis is to children. It's quite amusing (in a gentle kind of way - certainly funnier than any FAIL picture or FACEPALM picture or IBTL sentence), it suited the conversation, and you clearly didn't get it.
"It's old" applies only to modern computery stuff. If something is two months old then "it's old". It doesn't apply to amusements that are hundreds of years old. You can't bash an antique because "it's old". That's just a moronic statement to make in this context.

Didn't stop Wayne Rooney
he didn't bash her. he tried to lob seaman from outside the box.
It's old news, I'm pretty sure it's based on the fact Americans are believed to think that 'a haggis' is an animal.
Watching QI, doesn't make you smart, it just makes everybody around you know that you watch QI, probably to appear smarter but the QI facts are most often than not useless, and since it's so popular, anything you mention that was on it, people know you watched QI to learn it.
What about people that knew the Haggis story before TV was invented, or before QI was created? My parents told me about it in about 1990 during a family holiday to Scotland.
The American one you are thinking of is the Gapp Bat that haunts the London Underground.

Well being that you are from Norwich, chances are these Haggis creature do exist there....
I thought general stereotypes like that were (quote) "stupid old gag[s]"?
That was the whole point. Tiresome isn't it?
This argument is tiresome. STFU!
Would you stop with the Haggis bashing...he's managed to get his hands a smartphone and he's no happy about this. And it's not you gits who have to deal with the angry Haggis....it's muggins here.
What's all this about sheep gut-..I mean, Haggis?

I've been a bit worried about how Williams is holding itself up, and I've never heard of Cyrte before, so I can't really help but feel a bit insecure about this new deal...
(Henri Pescarolo had his team taken over by a twat who then fired him and took the team down; Genii capital is making a good job from where Renault left off)
