How much would that cost? Surely it would be better donating it to the cause than to some c**t that'll ruin your car? Exactly. It's like those halfwits who need to film themselves doing "good deeds" to upload to YouTube. If you need to go to great lengths to "prove" how caring and how grateful you are, then you're missing the point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugna Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I remember the Diana week very well. Some of the dads from our local primary school had started a football club for 5 - 8 year olds at the end of the previous school year, and I helped coach them as my older boy was in the group. We already had about 70 youngsters turning up to Inverleith Park twice a week, and we'd played a few very low key games over the summer just to make it exciting and to get them used to the idea that you meet other teams/clubs through sport. No league or anything of that sort. We'd arranged a game with Stockbridge Primary for the Saturday after the tunnelling, and not a single parent had made any mention of conflict or calling-off. The Stocky team was run by the school janny, and all arrangements were in place including healthy refreshments (water and fruit). So there are around 200 adults involved as parents or coaches, and no one has raised any concerns at all about the youngsters getting to meet for their games. Not a single objection, not even discussed, no call-offs. Friday evening, janny phones our head coach and organiser. Although their club had nothing officially to do with their primary (neither did ours), he had been advised by his headteacher that the games would have to be called off because "It would be far too traumatic for the children to try to play football on the same day as Diana's funeral". He'd been told quite clearly that the headteacher's word was to be law on this particular point, and hadn't felt he had any option. The only other manifestation of any sort of grieving reaction was a note put through the door from Dean Bowling Club, inviting everyone in the neighborhood to come to a respectful evening of drinks at the club on the Friday evening, "to celebrate and remember Diana's life". The quote I particularly remember from the flyer was the opening, "At Dean Bowling Club, we share the country's and community's sense of devastation..." Apart from those two "official" communiques, I never heard a dicky bird. Oh, and Ally McCoist's mither on the radio. I was working at Ferranti Crewe Toll at the time, an industry where you might have expected some sort of fealty to the ruling classes. Again, not a mention of any communal bereavement. At least in my part of Edinburgh, nobody seemed to give a toss. Which is exactly what you might expect when someone you have never met buys the farm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fishing that morning and I lost count of the number of passers bye who asked me if I had heard the news as if I couldn't have or I wouldn't be fishing ! Genuinely weird day as was the funeral day the next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 That's absolutely mental. Where is this? I hope a social media campaign starts up to boycott the place for stupidity. It's in Torquay. As you can imagine the folk from the two countries named are a bit miffed, the pub is now backtracking and saying it was really FIFA they were protesting against. http://m.torquayheraldexpress.co.uk/uproar-as-torquay-bar-refuse-to-show-certain-football-matches-over-due-to-poppy-ban/story-29894323-detail/story.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I smell absolute and utter bullshit. You know you've fucked up and are now backpedalling.""Beep beep beep this comment is reversing!!""You are as bad as Britain first. You have made the poppy a tool for your own gain. By the way, did you serve anyone not wearing a poppy? And I assume every penny of your takings has gone to the British Legion."etc. ps. Torquay at home to Wrexham next Saturday. [emoji23]Not much visting business going their way I suspect! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Poppy month is now a bit of a national embarrassment and someone has to call halt to it. I mentioned 'poppy industry' a week or two back and, since then, it's clear that's what it is. I'd love to know what the folk at the top of the Royal British Legion/Poppy Scotland are thinking. Clearly they're making good revenue for their (creditable) charity but 'poppy fatigue' is bound to kick in soon. They have to find a way to enjoy charity support without the fucking circus it's become. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were unavoidable all last week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I just came on this thread to say that the brie cheese comment a few pages back had me bowled over all day today, every time I thought of it. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
