No posting during the Silence?

[boxtops]

May I suggest - as a remark of respect to those who have gone before us - we try to avoid posting or responding, during the Two Minute Silence?

[DTCwordfan]

bet somebody does!

[DTCwordfan]

the Ed could shut us down for the two minutes.........?

[Brenden]

Hope not DT

[firewatch]

lets hope not!

Well I won't post but I think you really have to leave it to the individual, I think anything enforced is just going to p155 people off, plus you'll get the odd person who will have just fallen out of bed and is sitting not yet caffeined into the land of the living blissfully unaware of what day it is...

[ChuckFickens]

Why not?

Would it really be that much of a problem for people not to be able to post on here for two minute?

[DTCwordfan]

gives him a chance to rest from pedalling his Gnome legs to keep the site up!

[boxtops]

I know - and agree - we can't enforce it, but those of us who want to can do it. They've just struck up the band in the Mall, near the Cenotaph. I'll be watching on BBC1.

Personally I wouldn't have needed to be asked

[jackthehat]

oooo.....can of worms.....

There'll be someone complaining about the 'fascists' imposing their will...yadda yadda yadda.......

Personally, I shan't be posting as I will be observing the silence.........but perhaps some will make a point of doing so?

[ummmm]

Well that would be making a silly point Jack...

[Barmaid]

lol ummmm, someone making a silly point on CB? Never.......

[jackthehat]

*You* know that..........and *I* know that........but some will wish to show that they are not constrained by convention; that they are individuals and grown-ups and will not do something just because they have been 'told' to do so.....and especially when it 'glorifies' war.....<mutter...grumble>.

Fortunately, we know who they are so whilst they are standing upon their soap-boxes......we can laugh and point! :o)

[sara3]

I think someone will stumble in with there "2 Down, 8 letters" stuff ;o)

[sara3]

oh dear.. *their*!

[boxtops]

Perhaps I shouldn't have suggested it - just taken it as a given that those who are moved not to post, won't. Lest we Forget.

[firewatch]

well i have just turned over to bbc 1 from cbeebies and mi is watching intently whilst i explain what is happening she seems to be taking it in.

[seadogg]

Amen, boxtops.

[MarkRae]

Most people managed...

[boxtops]

That was very moving. This year seems more poignant than in the past, but perhaps we say that every year.
