the biggest gripe i have with the poppy wearing is the length of time it goes on. It started on 22nd Oct this year, and will finish on 14th Nov, 3 1/2 weeks, why ?

So I gave $5 for a poppy today. I didn't take one - am I still ok to post here/still an Irish man???

I attend a Remembrance Sunday service every year (although not tomorrow; I have a christening to attend where I'm expected to do something). The Irish version is diminished by the absence of Jerusalem, which is ace. I will cut up my passport.

I dont think Canadian forces killed too many in Ireland so I'd say you're alright.

Lads, I was feeling hungry last night and was too tired to cook something. I ordered in a chippy. The guy that delivered it, was wearing a Poppy. Just want to double check here first. Should I be aggrieved by this, or is it ok to let this one slide?
I know you like to sit on the fence but has it got that bad that you can't make up your own mind on something like this?

He is actually mocking people that get upset at the merest sight of a poppy.
