WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? My brain is aching to know!

[HeathenLoveGod]

@blackyblackblack505: are you serious? :-(

@blackyblackblack505

Try reading it.... if you have a brain you will realise what it means. If in doubt go back to school and study English!

[blackyblackblack505]

@chrissiewebster57 Sorry, but I'm into IT and computers. English is not my strong point!

You read, you write?? Idiot are you or just plain ignorant?

@chrissiewebster57

Sadly his 'history' is lacking as well. He should ask his family about his ancestors with a connection to WW1 & 2; there will be some surely. 'Ignorance' is NOT bliss'!!!

What a heartfelt tribute to the youth sacrificed for NOTHING! Honor to the fallen, and to the Poet, and to the Reader! Peace!

Wilfred Owen . . . brilliant!  Love that Kenneth Branagh did this series!! He reads these poems perfectly!

[falstaffswims]

I have a nightmarish thunderstorm blaring around my house right now, and two terrified f-cking cats, and a cowering loverly dug, and I feel I can catch a glimpse of actual misery, like Wilfred Owen's... we're f-cking spoiled, we are!!

[ometac05]

That actually sent shivers down my spine! I love both of these men. I never dreamed id get to hear Mr Branagh read out one of my biggest heros works. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting this! youve brought a tear to a young soldiers eye
