Here are some pictures from the ANZAC daya parade in Adelaide, Australia:

Try to find Rising Sun* on one of them…
I wasn’t there.
People who served in a real war are the ones who are entitled to march, and their descendants as carriers of their ancestors’ medals (although this can be bitterly disputed).
I wouldn’t march with my father’s medals and I’ve never bothered to, and never will, apply for the single and highly unimpressive medal to which I gather I’m entitled. That medal would inflict my first permanent military injury, as I’d die of embarrassment marching with it among real soldiers.
For another view of ANZAC Day showing how thousands of Australians go overseas to honour their dead from WWI and in subsequent wars in a ceremony which probaby doesn’t have an equivalent elsewhere, click on Slideshow in the Gallipoli lead article

Yes, sure, but I was thinking that there could be a chance to see you on this one:
In an Irish pipes section, maybe.
But with shorter skirts. For the heat.
Is not that you on the most right?
Okay, I’ll admit that it’s me.
I made the mistake of taking one of these cheap medical holidays to Thailand. The sex change operation went alright, but the weight loss one didn’t work out.
