THE LAST DITCH
If you are not able to attend a remembrance service in real life, why not attend the one to be held at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month (GMT) in Second Life? Congratulations to the Royal British Legion for being up to the technological minute. I am having trouble with the broadband connection at my English house, but will try to be there in the person of my SL Avatar, LastDitch Writer.

I shall be attending a remembrance service at my village memorial.
Last year there were three of us, sadly, one of us died in july,so there will not be a great attendance.
I watched the Royal British Legion service on television last night.It was very moving, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
But the camereman just had to pan to Gordon Brown….and i felt great offence at his presence !

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that
