I Remember. For those who've gone needlessly and bravely, over many many years, from many different countries, for many reasons. It would be strange and wonderful world if there was no further need, no further waste. But do we ever learn?
It was quite surreal on Saturday, standing perfectly still in a shop with confused small children and bemused foreigners moving around. However, I was very impressed at the number of people who stopped, paused with heads bowed respectfully before continuing with their day of shopping.
Remember
On a less important (but highly newsworthy for personal reasons) note, Eddies, or rather Edwards No.8 and The Gallows (which was also badly damaged as I understand it). Many of my Birmingham (UK) and surrounding area readers will already be aware that it was victim to a large fire on Saturday night and is not likely to return. There have been many posts of pictures but those of you who haven't seen it, the link is here, pictures here.
Suffice to say, that place meant a lot to me in it's own way. It was walking through the upstairs doors that caused me to say (and decide) to move to Birmingham in the first place and if it weren't for there, I think life would have been very different for me. In a way, it is how I met![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
devalmont (via the ever wonderful toxicpixie, karohemd and poetman). It's where I met sapphrine. It's where I gothed out with so many of you. I'm sad to see it go and as is always the case, didn't appreciate it enough whilst it was there.
