Jim McLean's Ghost Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Some carry on up at Perth today. A minister giving a sermon without a microphone, a silence, the last post, another silence, a 3 minute lone piper, another silence and then some othe bugle nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think folk have become increasingly mental about Remembrance day in recent years because the soldiers who actually went through WWI and WWII are no longer around to tell them to get a grip and show some proper decorum. Yep, there is a good bit of truth in that. Because a lot of people are no longer connected to these events then they just make it another fun time event on the calendar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aim Here Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Mehran Karimi Nasseri, who was famous for living for years in an airport and inspiring the Spielberg/Hanks film 'The Terminal' died as he lived, in Charles de Gaulle airport.

Melanius Mullarkey Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 On a train at the moment and I can only assume it’s the James McClean Express. Not a poppy in sight. Glorious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Saw Willo Flood in the wine aisle at Tesco earlier. Like me, he wasn't wearing a poppy. We refrained from high-fiving each other. Either him or his other half is a Rose drinker, which I 've got to admit, kind of ruined the moment.

Not sure about that. Saw a bus in Dunfermline the other day and instead of saying “not in service” it said “Lest We Forget” and some Teletext-standard animation of a soldier and some poppies. Eta - just saw the Blackburn bus above. Great minds think alike etc Edited November 14, 2022 by Shandon Par 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
