Nice way to spend armistice day.
Poppy on their wee poster as well

Can you take the hit and follow them so that I can find out who the top speakers and musicians are?

I won't follow them as it hurts my brain but I'll report back to see who the top speakers and musicians celebrating the end of WWI are.

Truth over fear brother x

I'm not sure what it means but it's what they repeat.

I see the politicians and advisors have been poppied- up these past few days. Also as expected everyone connected to Rangers had poppies on this week, noticeable when players, management and directors were out laying wreaths to Walter Smith.

It seems the “poppy of choice” this year is the enamel “half & half” with Rangers crest (and presumably are available for most English clubs too) and Sturgeon seemed to have a Scottish crest on her enamel poppy.

Spend money on the care of veterans?

Or

Burn money flying jets in the air to make a poppy on a flight tracking app?

Is it even a choice?!

 

 

They've made a cornflower according to that map

Le Bluet, The Cornflower, is the French equivalent of the Poppy and the origin dates from 1916, which slightly predates the Poppy I think

I'm no doctor but, if there's one thing an under the weather nonagenarian needs to aid her recovery, it's standing still outside in the rain for a bit in November. Goadblesser. 

Aye, she'll be standing in the pishing rain all day. Maybe she should leave a bar on her electric fire for getting back in.

Unpopular opinions for this pish, but I can understand clubs laying a wreath at their own memorial before the closest home game to November 11th. It does seem ridiculous this early, but the week around the 11th is now generally international fixtures, so it's either going to be really early or really late, and there will be far less hassle from poppyshaggers if they do it early and get it out of the way.
