So did mine, they both hated heights, so being stuck at the top of those cliffs was very unpleasant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty royals too, I'm disappointed in P&B's collective laissez faire attitude to the whole glorifying of war. And war based charidees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I said fought, I meant loitering by the beaches and looking after the horses which were rubbish at cliffs. They weren't totally stupid, despite how my genes might indicate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sombreness tends not to piss people off so much as the fancy dress, festive, jingoistic , carnival vibe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it the Antipodeans have managed to gauge it just right on all of the above then. A tip for the poppy people over here I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chlamydia Kid Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Passed by a house last night where the home owner had a custom made garden iron gate with garish red poppies welded to it, a silhouette of a soldier and “lest we forget” emblazoned across the top of it in metal. Remembrance is supposed to be about quietly showing appreciation for folk’s sacrifices in a dignified manner. This was the complete opposite. An extremely crass and unhealthy glorification of war by someone who, I’d bet, wouldn’t dream of ever having joined the army themselves. Embarrassing. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chlamydia Kid Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 £600 You pay through the nose to be staunch. That’s pretty similar to how it looked. Wonder how much of the cash went to the poppy appeal... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, I only learnt the other day that Nelson's Pillar in Dublin was blown up by the Ira in 1966. Before the football I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
