Re: Two minute silence

There is a bigger question to be answered here:

Whilst I am in favour of marking such anniversaries with a respectful silence, what happened to the one minute silence? What are the lines that need to be crossed to deem it a two minute silence event? How long before we get a three minute silence??

God help us when the ten minuter comes along!!

I wonder if emergency services categorise situations by the length of the silence that will follow.

1) More than ten innocents die - 2 mins
2) Less than ten - 1 min
3) 1 national hero dies - a minute of applause
4) Some fag gets his nob stuck in the hoover - a minutes laughing

In twenty years time we will all be sat in silence between atrocities, reflecting on previous atrocities.



By the way, agree with silences or not - you should keep your fuckin gob shut for the duration out of respect for those that do. No question.
