    It wont happen, the team that deals with that kind of thing does'nt work weekends.
    A similar thing happened on St Andrews day last year, the banner had not been changed on the Friday and the Scots missed out again.
    Add to that, they have never done a Burns night before.
  • Actually it was up in the evening of 29th last year for St Andrew's Day and was put up at mid-day on 30th for 2007 :)

    I know, cos I hassle the techie team every year :)

    I did suggest on Friday while they were tinkering with the forum colours that a nice tartan theme might be appropriate for today but as you say its the w/end and the guys have been busy.

  • Sounds like an idea (if I wasn't hungover from last night)...

    I had (in true MSE style) free Haggis, neeps, tatties and whiskey yesterday!
