That's good to hear. My point earlier is that I think it's a small price to pay (a small donation and way of demonstrating that appreciation). If nobody wore a poppy and nobody donated then how would you feel if you either served or had family members who served, were killed or were seriously...

I didn't say it's compulsory, just that it's pretty sad that such a large number of the younger generation have taken that stance It was a genuine question about what they are learning about the wars/sacrifices at school and what poppy stands for. Of course it's up to the parents as well.

I have to say I disagree though Sick Boy. Wearing one (and making a donation) shows the people who have made the ultimate sacrifice that you do appreciate what they've done. Of course it's everyone's own choice (we live in a free country) but if everyone had the same attitude then those people...

I rarely start threads but something has infuriated me today ! I was told by someone that apparently a third of youngsters are shunning wearing a poppy, I Googled it and it appears correct. WTF ??? Some of these self entitled little shits just don't have a clue about proper hardship and what...

T2 is a great film and i possibly prefer it to the original which I loved (even though I appreciate Trainspotting is a classic of its generation and the better film). It's so well made and the underlying theme of nostalgia and time waiting for no man. The snippets of original soundtrack. Quality !

Euro10bn as a one off maybe isn't a huge amount for Germany, but every year...possibly forever...is ! I'm not saying Merkel or anyone has used the work "enemy" (unlike Hammond...idiot !), however, their actions to date say a lot more than Hammonds (ill judged) words ! Whilst our...

I know, what a d*ck ! However I would say that that's probably in response to how they have behaved towards us to date. Actions speak lounder than words they say ! Ps I don't mind a good debate as long as people respect and listen to each other's views. Having said that I've got a programme to...

I meant I wouldn't know how that would work for us. The rest of EU becoming more integrated in future, already all being part of the Schengen Agreement and Euro, with us on the outside. It's always been a bit strange. Might have been fine but as I say who knows.

Democracy as in previous treaties etc. It's worth a read whatever your views on Brexit The current EU negotiation tactics, as in treating us like an enemy. I appreciate they have got a job to do in terms of getting a good deal for the other EU nations, however, so far it really does smack of...

Ps to this day I still don't know if it was the right decision. Having said that we also wouldn't know if voting remain would have been the right decision. Would potentially further EU integration in future work for the Uk (bearing in mind we have a very different relationship already, not being...

You presume I have an issue with migration, which I don't. My point wasnt that migration numbers will continue at those level, it's a 'what if' question ? My point being if they did we have limited means of control, which is crazy. We might need high levels of migration (skilled or unskilled)...

I haven't got a problem with freedom of movement...to an extent. I think a country has got to have the final decision depending on their needs and their ability to absorb numbers. Housing is a major hot topic at the moment. But how do you improve the situation for the younger generation (many...

I agree with this 100% and it's what frustrates me so much about the EU and why I was genuinely torn on the day of the referendum. In respect of many countries across Europe the view on the EU is very much split 50/50 so the outcome of a referendum will therefore be dependent on how people feel...

Agreed. Corbyn has played a blinder on Europe. During the campaign he never really provided any clarity on what he would do other than 'respect the referundum result'. I still don't really know where he/Labour stands on it now (and don't get me wrong I also appreciate there's massive divisions...

Or a genuine remain party such as the lib dems who campaigned on this point yet still ended up with a fraction of the national vote

Typical Doyle payback. Think the guy had taken him out earlier which the ref missed. My brother and I just looked at each other as if to say 'he'll take care of that himself'. Sure he'll be caught out at some point this season but good to have someone who looks after themselves and the team. Had...

WTF ?!!!

Not sure that's going to help !!!

Baby Driver Dunkirk Atomic Blonde All worth a watch. Loved the top two !

Good luck to the lad. I hope he can make the grade but might be a step too far. He's got a bit of quality about him though so with some better players around him, who knows !
