Meade's Ball Well-known member Jul 7, 2003 13,647 Hither (sometimes Thither) Nov 11, 2004 #14 There was a 2 minute silence. Some Australians asked what we were doing, so we shushed them. I'm not one for being told when to think about things, but as it seemed important to other people, i wasn't going to ruin it.
