How sad. And what a bitter irony about the risk of dying while going back to commemorate it. I imagine that the risk is even greater for US/Canadian veterans as the journey itself is longer and more tiring? |

Really hope it doesn't have a collar. Might buy one for the first time in many years if so. |

Thread | Spare ticket for today
at 08:59 13 Apr 2024
For the second game in a row I've managed to get hold of a couple of tickets at short notice, but no one to offer it to who isn't either already going or busy.
Again, if anyone wants to take it then PM me. |

I remember you posted about this before on a D-Day thread. Do you know whether any of the veterans you met are still alive 10 years later? |

I seem to recall as well the fact that the Netherlands had a higher than usual rate of developmental-related conditions in the generation after the war due to the number of people born to mothers who were experiencing a severe food shortage while pregnant. |

I'm pleased to have passed on the good vibes. It's so important to find ways to keep stories like Bill's alive. It's a massive shame that it isn't taught more in UK schools. I learnt today that in the Netherlands the entire town will turn out when UK or US veterans arrive, and the children will show off their autographs like they've just met a film star. I suppose people like the Dutch or French might feel like they have even more to be thankful for as they were amongst those who were directly liberated. [Post edited 11 Apr 18:52]

UPDATE:
Today I had the incredible honour of spending a couple of hours in the company of Bill Gladden, a meeting arranged with assistance of TWTD poster TJGodden. It was an experience which will stay with me for the rest of my life. Hearing his story and experience 80 years on is almost as unbelievable as it is fascinating. |

He's 27th on the list, although we are now having second thoughts anyway after discovering that he posted about his interview with our 'organisation' on a football message board. |

Happy to offer it to anyone who wants to join me.
PM me if interested to arrange. First to message gets the ticket.

Reply | Just had a job interview so secretive

No personal attacks are intended here, but I find the regular McDonald's related 'jokes' to be a bit distasteful and somewhat offensive.
I don't think people ought to poke fun out of specific places of work. My brother, who has rather limited opportunities in life, used to work at McDonald's and he took his job very seriously and worked extremely hard.
I can imagine that many people who work in that type of food service job might read comments like these and it knocks their self-esteem or makes them feel inferior to others.
At the end of the day, as long as people are going out every day, working in the best opportunity available to them in order to support themselves and pay their way in the world, then nobody can knock them. |

I've never used it but might end up doing so tomorrow.
Is it just a case of registering and logging in then paying to stream the match? |

No chance. Not even everyone who works at the training ground is allowed to watch 1st Team training. |
