eindhovendee Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 It'd bring a tear to a glass eye. Is that in rememberance for the old club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I don't even remember World War 1. In fact, I can't remember World War 2 (War Harder) either. What about World War 3: War With a Vengeance? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 What about World War 3: War With a Vengeance? It's certainly not the worst of the World Wars. Live Free or World War had it's moments, but A Good Day to World War was a shameless cash in where everyone involved looked bored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Why don't they wear a poppy on their uniform / clothes like everyone else who wants to? Servicemen and Women do wear a poppy on their uniform, swing and a miss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 If they have them on their uniforms and their planes, does that mean they're remembering twice as hard as the rest of us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Servicemen and Women do wear a poppy on their uniform, swing and a miss. So why the need for it on a jet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorlomin Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Nothing says remembering the fallen in a dignified matter than a poppy jet ImageUploadedByPie & Bovril1446718623.586210.jpg You do realise that a few Tornado crew have died or been seriously wounded on active service? You seem to put a lot of effort into looking for reasons to be offended by the RBL. They do a lot of good work on ex servicement and mental health problems http://support.britishlegion.org.uk/app/answers/detail/a_id/57/~/combat-stress---the-veterans-mental-health-charity as well as homelessness that I find nearly impossible to criticise. http://www.britishlegion.org.uk/media/2283/litrev_ukvetshomelessness.pdf Children in Need go for a lot of "zany" stunts to promote themselves, I dont see you and the usual suspects queuing up to say that charity trivialises child poverty and child abuse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right, so that is why the poppy is on the jet, aye? Why would I be offended? Did you just make that up? Of course, How silly of me, Remembrance Sunday is about "zany stunts", And as for your comparison with other charities, straw clutching at its finest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Children in Need go for a lot of "zany" stunts Does this say: a) The RBL go for zany stunts. Or. b) Children in Need go for a lot of "zany" stunts Think slowly. Take your time. Get back to us when you have an answer. Why would I be offended?

~~~ Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Work on your English comprehension skills, get them up to adult level. Does this say: a) The RBL go for zany stunts. Or. b) Children in Need go for a lot of "zany" stunts Think slowly. Take your time. Get back to us when you have an answer. I must have missed you answer if the reason they decided to slap poppies on a jet was to remember and respect killed or injured pilots? Nice to see you resort to childish insults. Again, trying to compare Children in Need with Remembrance day is ridiculous at best.... Mind you, at least if you don't visibly show support for Children in Need you're not going to be abused by the fascists.... I mean patriots Still haven't seen where I have said or implied that i'm offended at the poppy. It would be nice if you didn't just make things up.

Hillonearth Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 What about World War 3: War With a Vengeance? Or World War Z, although to be fair I'm trying hard to forget that one myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 So why the need for it on a jet? More publicity I'd imagine, the whole point of the poppy appeal is to raise money for the RBL, who in turn give the proceeds to serving and ex serving members, as such it's not exactly a great leap to figure out why the armed forces get behind it as much as they do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
