Title: Did you know....
Post by: Just One More on November 11, 2011, 08:43:29 AM

... it's 11.11.11.

If I've heard it once today, I've heard it eleven  redface: times. They've discussed it on the telly, they were discussing it on the radio, and one prick in the office has already mentioned it. There was a silly bint being filmed on telly this morning in the maternity wing along with her new born, she was disapointed cos he was born on 10.11.11 and wanted him to be born on the eleventh "cos it's lucky innit"  cussing:  FFS, she has a lovely son

The only saving grace at the moment is that I shall be leaving the memorial chapel after the Armistice service, so I shouldn't have to listen to some prick saying, "ooh look, it's 11 minutes and eleven seconds past eleven on the eleventh of the eleventh  2011  cussing:  cussing:  cussing:

(makes note to keep radio off at that time)

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
