    The practice of wearing a poppy at this time of year is not solely a British one. Indeed, the adoption of the poppy had a very international birth. In November 1918, a poem by Canadian military doctor John McCrae inspired American humanitarian Moina Michael to wear and distribute poppies in honour of fallen soldiers.

    In Flanders Fields describes the first sign of life after death - small red plants that grew on the graves of soldiers buried in northern France and Belgium during World War I. Two days before the armistice agreement was signed, Ms Michael bought and then pinned a red poppy to her coat. She gave other poppies out to ex-servicemen at the YMCA headquarters in New York where she worked. The poppy was officially adopted by the American Legion at a conference two years later. At the same conference, a French woman named Madame E Guerin saw an opportunity for orphans and widows to raise money in France by selling the poppies. Since then, they have become an international symbol of remembering fallen soldiers, especially in Commonwealth countries.

    Few grams of bugle, several pints, and we can be rolling around out the front of Tescos with Trev trying to split us up.

    All because you spilled my poppers at the bar.

    Nothing says jump up and down and cheer like spasticated apes than wheeling a howitzer on to a football pitch.

    I thought you would want some input from a Northern Irish unionist.

    As I said. Meh.

    No one is surprised that McLean supports the IRA & doesn't wear a poppy
