Remember me - Ends 16th November

[Alex3213]

This is the day a lot of us recall as Rememberance Day, 11/11 every year. We all wear poppies and we all have two minutes of silence on the day.

In relation to this event, I'd like you to tell me someone you want to remember and why. It might be good ol' Michael Jackson or your lovely grandmother. The why bit is important though because otherwise you've got not very much chance of winning! The entry which highlights the best reason (ie most creative, unique idea and reason etc.) will get the prize, just post your entry in this thread.

Prize: 15 credits + 10 rep

My great uncle he always used to give me money to buy him 'milk' from the little shop at the end of his road when really it was for sweets, he loved fruit pastels and when he died we left one on his bed 33 RIP

Okay my great great grandad died because of world war 1 and basically these people put a bomb on a ship, he was fighting, the ship came and then BANG he was dead cos the ship washed up on shore

My best friend who died aged 13. He was the only person to truly understand me because we had the exact same condition. We only knew each other for four months before he died

I want to make sure I never forget him because I was the last person he ever saw conciously and he will always be with me.

To be honest, memories shouldn't be based on death and passing, a memory can be anything you think sentimental that has already occurred in your life.

My best memory is when I first went to a football match -

Manchester United vs West Ham United
13th December 2003
3 - 0
West Ham had a goal dissallowed when me and my Father went to the toilet.
We were in the West Stand in seats 94 and 95.
I think actually remembering such a significant day for me is enough. I spent sometime with my Dad, and got to see a football match.

While it wasn't the best day of my life, it was certainly a highlight.

18th July 2010 - Blackpool, for the Northern Rail Cup Rugby Final.
My Dad has been a follower of Batley Bulldogs since he was born and they've never really won anything before. We've always had bad players, bad management, lack of fans, etc. However last season, we had a brand new manager who brought an exceptional team with him. We managed to fight our way through the tournament and end up in the final against Widnes Vikings, who have a massive stadium, massive fan base, brilliant players, etc.

Well, literally in the final 60 seconds of the game, on 18th July 2010 we managed to score that final try, which put us one point in front of Widnes. We'd finally won the Northern Rail Cup after decades of trying! Widnes had lost against small, almost un-noticed town called Batley. Obviously this was a massive achievement and piece of history for my Dad, as he has been such a large follower; committed.

It made me happy to see his "rubbish, losing team" become the winner. Damn we had a story to tell my Mum when we returned home!

My dog died to cancer.
She fought it for ages, and she finely had to be put down because it was cruel for her to stay alive.
