eastcoast 3,727 Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Watched the 41 gun salute and started to find it annoying when crews were shouting out commands and then a feeble squeaky female voice would join in. Must have been a bit embarrassing for the lass who needed 4 attempts to open the breach on the naval gun. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 4,926 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 He was nearly 100 and lived a lot longer than most, so hardly a shock or a tragedy. I’ll doff my hat to his military service, but that aside, the whole ‘duty’ bit? I reckon most of us will have worked harder and lived a much less privileged life..., and would swap with him in a heartbeat. Ironic too that his death has sparked an outpouring of fawning sycophancy, the likes of which I think the man himself would have had no truck with. But the worst yet, is giving air time to a man who has refused now, for a year, to cooperate with the FBI and answer questions in regard to the rape of a minor. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t want to get too soppy about it but I just felt a great sadness that a very public face of a generation of men, all that was good about us, passed away and in doing so took some of the last of what remains of Great Britain with him. I was sat with my 2 girls last night (17 & 18) watching the opening beach landing scene of “Saving Private Ryan” and said to them “Them lads were your age, your grandad & your great grandad did that!” They were very moved by that, and we spoke about how you get from that to what we see now in 75 years ? Phillip and millions of blokes like him were the best of us. Edited April 12, 2021 by WILF 10 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
