Re I think it is so easy to forget what has been sacrificed for certain freedoms and also for stupid reasons: Sainsbury has produced a Christmas TV ad based on the actual occasion in 1914 when Brit and German troops fraternized on Christmas Day, 1914. It's attracted criticism for exploiting the event for commercial reasons but it seems rather a sweet clip to me. Bars of chocolate (mimicking the design of the one featured in the ad) will be sold in Sainsbury stores with all profits going to veterans' charities. What do you make of it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWF2JBb1bvM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWF2JBb1bvM

I like it. It's also good to remember that the English always beat the Germans at war, but the Germans almost always beat England at soccer. Thank God it's not the other way round. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, s3raphita@... wrote : Re I think it is so easy to forget what has been sacrificed for certain freedoms and also for stupid reasons: Sainsbury has produced a Christmas TV ad based on the actual occasion in 1914 when Brit and German troops fraternized on Christmas Day, 1914.

My favourite ever newspaper headline was from The Sun on the day before our world cup match in 1990. It said: We shouldn't feel too bad tomorrow if Germany beat us at our national sport.

Dream on, without the americans you'd be lost.

Don't forget the Russians! They bore the brunt of the fighting. Civilian and military deaths exceeding 20 million - doesn't bear thinking about. But, yes, good on the Yanks. And they and the Brits were also taking on the Japanese Empire at the same time. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote : Dream on, without the americans you'd be lost.

Modern art tends to be a turn off for me but this artistic installation entitled Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red has seen the Tower of London's dry moat filled with over 800,000 ceramic poppies (888,246 poppies to be exact - one for each British and Colonial fatality during the War) to create a powerful visual commemoration for the First World War Centenary. It's been an amazing success, attracting huge crowds, as it is both simple and moving. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, awoelflebater@... wrote : Look what they've done in England to commemorate the fact that humans insist on war and much blood has been shed. But also see how creative and beautiful this memorial to the horrendous losses can be. Stunning.

I think it is so easy to forget what has been sacrificed for certain freedoms and also for stupid reasons and because of power-hungry bastards who insist on making this beautiful world quite horrific through the need to dominate and/or fill their bellies with more than their fair share. I am not one who goes out to watch the ceremonial parades or to take much time to really give tribute to those who have suffered and died and lost. But this particular installation which is part art and part memorial is astounding. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, awoelflebater@... wrote : Look what they've done in England to commemorate the fact that humans insist on war and much blood has been shed.
