Was today Remembrance Day in England as well Tilli?

Tilli · Nov 11, 2005

^Yes it was. We observed a minute silence at 11am this morning. Did you also?

RavenBlue · Nov 11, 2005

< Yes, we went to a service. The Legion was packed. We had a 2 minute silence.

^I heard on the radio that they had a WW1 veteran, I think he met with the Queen in London, who was 109!!!

RavenBlue · Nov 11, 2005

^Wow.. that is truly amazing isn't it. I think we lost our last WWI vet in the last few years. I think he was 105. Quite something. Imagine all the stuff he'd seen.

I found a link with a picture of him (on page 6)! It is amazing 105 and 109!! Wow! He was born in 1896 and he's Britains oldest man apparently.

< looking forward to reaching 109! Hehe

He laid the wreath by himself and everything. Wow!

<Will be 109 in 2086 :huh:

RavenBlue · Nov 11, 2005

< 2090 for me.. I've got a ways to go yet :wink:

Tilli · Nov 11, 2005

You'll come to mine as well right? :wink:

Tilli · Nov 11, 2005

^Of course. I am not one to miss a party! I shall pencil it in.

*Opens 2090 U2 calendar, Larry's on the cover still looking like he is in his 20's*

I may get a little forgetful when I get older!

:wink:

Great, we'll have a great party blasting U2 tunes well over maximum volume (since we'll all be near deaf by then) and annoying that generation with our strange music.

Tilli · Nov 11, 2005

Ha! What a thought - I wonder if old peoples homes in about 60 years time will play U2?? Will we all sit around having a singalong to The Fly, Discotheque and such like :lol:
