This guy seems to be pissed off with the whole thing too.

He's not against the poppy itself, just those who go over the top to show how committed they are.

He's right then.

The 2 minute's silence was observed impeccably by everyone in Tesco today. Everyone, that is, except me - who didn't realise it was on and broke the solemn silence by requesting "Two lucky dips for tonight please". Oh, and the old guy behind me who, after about a minute of silence, blurted out "ARE THE COMPUTERS DOWN HEN?"

Falkirk's very own Poet Laureate has penned a touching tribute to the fallen:

The spirit of Remembrance.

Watching the crowds
All gathered today
Standing in silence 
Heads bowed now to pray.
Tears fill my eyes
That I cannot take part
I stand here just watching 
It's breaking my heart.
So much pain, so much suffering 
So much sadness, such fear
Fills the air, time stands still 
For all those they loved dear.
Sad memories cling
In the atmosphere there
Friends, families and comrades
Left behind, who still care.
So many still mourn
For those no longer here
Who fought for our future 
Sacrifice made so clear.
They stand, show respect 
And remember those 
Who gave of their lives
All brave comrades too.
I slip away now 
But no one can see
I've paid my respects
And I'm sure you'll agree.
That all I desired
Was to come one last time
To represent those 
War cut off in their prime.
For I am long gone
Just a spirit of those
Who died to save all
In your heart, keep us close.

Rangers fans: Remembering the millions that lost their lives going over the top to face enemy fire on their way to the Copland Road.

They look as if they're trying to break in. Waste of time if they're heading for the trophy room
