TheProgressiveLiberal Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) 9 hours ago, HTG said: Most of us think we shouldn't row in behind charity hijackers. And many of us think that looking after those injured in combat should be the job of their employer rather than charity dependent. This isn't just an issue for the Poppy Appeal. It can be applied across vast areas of mental health care. So if the government isn't doing exactly what you think they should be doing, you just throw your hands up and bitch instead of doing your small part to make things more along the lines of your personal morality? That's a really strange opinion to hold. I can see not wanting to give to a specific charity and being annoyed at social pressure to do so. To avoid all charity as a moral principle is something I can't wrap my head around.

Shotgun Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I’m at Boston airport today and noticed a bunch of arses strutting around wearing sweatshirts and baseball caps with the names of military units, “Vietnam Veteran” and the like. Presumably they’re fishing for head pats. Waiting to get on the plane though, there’s a fat b*****d wearing a Boston Fire Department t-shirt. Out of the blue he tried to strike up a conversation with the woman standing next to him. “You know it’s great to see everyone paying respect for the veterans today”She gave him a look of surprise before muttering “Yes it is” and going back to her phone. But he wasn’t done. “Yeah, I’m a 10 year veteran of the Boston Fire Department and I think it’s great that...”. At that she just rolled her eyes and walked away. Ha ha ha. Nice try shithead but no head pats for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice try shithead but no head pats for you. Seen a few more old 'unit' T shirts about, even a guy who had a hat saying "old salt" or something similar. Was speaking to a female friend yesterday who's still in and was in uniform in the supermarket after work. She was randomly approached by an old 'gent' and told they had a name for 'Wrens' when he was in, "officers mattresses", how quaint She's heard far worse of course. This could equally have gone in the sexual harassment thread I suppose although I don't think she'll be running to the papers about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Mentioned being on a Poppy-less Union Street last weekend, to which someone replied that it was a bit early (date wise) for some. Well, I'm in town early with plenty of people out and about the day before, and still very few poppies on show from all generations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I haven't bought one this year. The 11th is at the weekend this year so I don't even have to go through the charade of pretending to think about dead soldiers for 2 minutes at 11 o'clock. Bonus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
