And this is all you had to say, the two aren't connected therefore we can learn to mourn an event and at the same time make light of our situation.

Re. Poppies and Remembrance day, I don't remember it being so full on when I was a kid. At this rate, give it another 20 years and people won't be able to go infront of a camera without being dressed up in a full poppy mascot suit from head to toe. To say you can't make a harmless joke, what a load of bollocks. Turning into fucking America, be saying "thank you for your service" and "support the troops" every 5 minutes next.
Thanks for that, I appreciate it :dierpochhug:If I offend someone with my joke I’m sorry. It wasn’t the intention.
No, other way round: The two aren't connected, therefore using a photograph taken about ONE event, and turning it into a crass 'caption competition' about a totally separate event IS connecting them...And this is all you had to say, the two aren't connected therefore we can learn to mourn an event and at the same time make light of our situation.
Only one Remembrance Sunday, the Sunday after the 11th.This isn’t a joke but a genuine question.
How many Remembrance Sunday’s are there this year? And why so many?

Which is why I said they are NOT connected, so best not to connect them in the first place, not use it as a reason to!
It's a photo of an Italian football manager observing a minute's silence for Armistice Day.... Connecting that with team formations or squad depth isn't relevant, surely you can see that?
You're one of the best posters on the site and it made me smile. Unfortunately there won't be much to laugh about in ten years time the way the world is going. We'll be too busy keeping a straight face. Lighten up those who disagreed his joke.If I offend someone with my joke I’m sorry. It wasn’t the intention.
Seems like theres been minutes silences for weeks on endOnly one Remembrance Sunday, the Sunday after the 11th.
My grandad fought in the second war. My other grandparents fled Poland. It should never be forgotten but I do think it's getting longer and longer each year and in essence that will dilute the relevance. You'll get pelters for the post though. So will I presumablyThis isn’t a joke but a genuine question.

Agree about the dilution and the relevanceMy grandad fought in the second war. My other grandparents fled Poland. It should never be forgotten but I do think it's getting longer and longer each year and in essence that will dilute the relevance. You'll get pelters for the post though. So will I presumably
Wish you’d stay silent for weeks on end, tbfSeems like theres been minutes silences for weeks on end
There is a 2 minute silence at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. There were silences at all football grounds at the game nearest to the 11th.Seems like theres been minutes silences for weeks on end
People know that. It's just the thought that it's getting pushed too far and diluting the true meaning of it. Christmas has long gone that way and this date is going the same way. Why does the home side have to reflect the 11th November when it's still October? Just lay wreaths when it's the fixture closest to the date be it home or away.There is a 2 minute silence at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month.

We should never forget the ultimate sacrifice made by the serving military, IMO.
To be fair, so far 5 people laughed at the post, and 10 people responded positively to Shadydan 's subsequent post saying that it's ok to laugh at ourselves sometimes etc, with neither having negative reactions, so it seems he did actually read the room fine.Read the room mate!
People should stop slagging off the younger generation. They will have a huge mess to sort out left by the older generationsThe two aren't connected.
Even IF we were absolute dogshit, making a joke about it, in comparison to War, is never appropriate.
Define 'harmless'....
I guess you're lucky (or young) enough to never have lost ANYONE in any conflict ever....? It's all just boring History books for you I assume... And good for you.
Imagine a World War in THIS day and age.... Half the people wouldn't know WHAT to do.... Except set up a GoFundMe page...
Though I'm sure the #prayforme insta-twat requests would be off the scale!!!!
But that wouldn't really help the war effort!

This is where the climate change deniers can jump in and say their flat earth is not warming
