This fascinating take on Remembrance Sunday from the Papau New Guinea Daily Courier just landed on my desk. I thought you might be interested.

Is that from a @fozy tornip Greatest Hits collection?

Wear a poppy, or don't.

Go to a memorial, or don't.

Like so much in life, let others crack on with whatever they're into, as long as it's not hurting anyone else.

FWIW: I don't; didn't; and I think the near fetishisation of poppy wearing is pretty pathetic.

I think it is a very sad commentary on some of the people on this forum that Andy brings out such odious and unacceptable personal attacks. I am ashamed to be part of the same public space as you (at least, as judged by this post).

Yes, thank god the majority are small-minded intolerant bigots. It makes us all so comfortable.

That’s outrageous, I think you should apologise.

Wow.

Well, I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt. And also eye shadow, because I was playing "Make Up School" with my daughter earlier.

And now I'm listening to the cricket.

Regarding the article, there’s a element of truth in it, but it’s a truth you see mostly from outside our borders….

Damn, I never did make-up school with my daughters :-/

It isn't easy. She's only 5 and finds the brush tickly. And inevitably wants to take over and do it herself, ended up looking like Joker...

What does your Daughter think of Daddy dressing like Momma on your 'feminine ' days?

You really are a shoot.

She doesn't have a problem with it. In fact we have "Princess Dancing" and "Mad Hatter's Tea Parties" too when I'm "Big Alice" and she's "Little Alice". We listen to White Rabbit, but haven't found an Alice when she isn't anything at all

Brilliant, how old is she?
