They shall not grow old, as we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
WE SHALL REMEMBER THEM

Yeah it is very important, but you need to practice the last post!
Good call guys. Important to remember what our elders and betters have done for us. Got my poppy this morning.
Not around too often!
so big richard, u think you could play it better? lets hear it then!
Nice one tumble I've put my coins in the tins, and i've been giving out poppies at my till for the past few weeks
I no longer post on these forums for several personal reasons..... and iam trying really hard here to keep a lid on my temper
But Big Richard who the hell do you think you are? Post something better then that and i'll take back what im about to say, but your attitude is a disgrace. He might be my boyfriend and iam not being bias, but he has done something to show how proud he is of this country and how we became and all you do is flame him for the effort?
You should be ashamed of yourself

Nope I didn't even hint that I thought I might be able to, but then I'm not the one posting my effort on the internet!Originally Posted by Elmo
I wasn't flaming him for it. I was commenting on it as it does have a few notes that are a bit flat. I too am proud of this country.Originally Posted by lynni
What I said was meant in a friendly way!
been thinking about it alot the last couple of weeks, covering the lead up to ww1 in history has made me think of it that bit more in recent times. I'll be in the pub at 11 observing my minutes silence tommorow with the rest of the nation.
I will be holding my minutes silence tomorrow at work. These men who fought for what we have got now, are so brave... words do not sum it up. They are just far far FAR braver than many men on this planet.
Pay your respects Hexites, you owe each and every one of them 18.5 million people a BIG thanks.
Tumble: Your 'Last Post' was a good attempt, it's also aptly 1minute long too. If I could I'd play it whilst I observe my one minute silence.
PS. What are them words from in the first post?

Is it not a two minute silence ?
[QUOTE=Mrs Dak]I think it might be actually... I'll be holding 2 mins silence at work!Originally Posted by Lead_Head
