There's a specific knack to it. I know one person who writes quite a few liner notes for the Bear Family box sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dead Wait 1,148 Posted May 18, 2015 rumours on the internet of a massive death. if true it is stunning. don't want to say who till I check to see if reports are true or not yet though. will be back later Rumours on the internet of a massive death, haven't checked yet if true but thought that the best thing to do first was to make you aware of the rumours by posting here. Don't want to say who though until I have checked that the rumours, now full reports, are true. Now where will I check that is different to the internet......... Hmmm, turns out it wasn't a massive death - just a massive prick with nothing better to do than post every day for attention! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poppies are only sold for a limited period each year: usually from around 27 October to Remembrance Sunday or 11 November. So only a couple of weeks.

Perhaps I should have just copied and pasted from the website instead of hurridly trying to type it out. Even so, with those couple of weeks and spread out over 76 years, it still only tallies at about 20 poppies per day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
