Adam Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Given my love for Orwell, I'm a bit raging that someone like Tom McB is quoting him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 To be honest it's the taking part that counted.You're right of course. It was a long time ago, like It's a Knockout.I wear the poppy for Eddie Waring and Arthur Ellis, but not Stuart Hall, not least because he's not dead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Bit off topic, but have you been in 0 degrees in Bristol?Even More off-topic, i have its nice.Anyway rather than talk of micro-breweries in Bristol i don't wear a poppy because doing so shows my support for an organisation that believes people who take a wage to shoot folk are more deserving of sympathy than the rest of the population when they are injured at work. The fact that GSTQ types have a hard-on for the poppy makes that decision very easy. Rememberance is important, but a poppy doesn't make that happen. What do people wear when they need to remember where their car keys are? Is their somewhere i can make a donation so i remember what i need from the shops? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Bit off topic, but have you been in 0 degrees in Bristol? Not yet, been hearing all about it though. A bit scared to return to the adopted homeland after spewing my ringer in my Mother-in-Law's kitchen during my last visit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Enlighten me. Why are they worn in preference to the red poppy? If you took even 5 seconds to google white poppy the very first result would tell you they needn't be worn in preference to the red poppy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I don't mind poppy displays of any sort at all. However, Tom McB is still a massive walloper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Google required bud. In my experience, they don't tend to be worn alongside the red poppy but instead appear to be worn in preference to it. Anyway, I've got some tiny poo stained cretins to deal with so I'll bid you all a good evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Feel free to explain that assertion.Everyone that whips out George Orwell quotes in an argument is a pretentious arsehole, trying too hard to be edgy. Case in point ; a guy I know that stole Animal Farm from a public library, and you. HTH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Always wear a poppy in respect for my Uncle who fought in the war, standing up for what he believed in.
