November 11: Remembrance Day.

This post is a little more ‘heavy’ than you would be used to on That’s Noice!, but we have no doubt you understand the reason why we have decided to post this today.

Today, 11 November 2011 is remembrance day, marking 93 years since the armistice was signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I.

Don Rowe, NSW State President of the Returned and Services League of Australia, said he hoped that on Remembrance Day this Friday Australians everywhere would follow the tradition of observing a minute’s silence at 11 a.m. to acknowledge the sacrifice of so many lives in so many wars over the past century.

“It only takes a moment for us all to stop what we’re doing, to pause, and to reflect on the lives that have been lost and to honour those whose lives are still at risk in the service of their country,” said Mr Rowe.

You can also show your respect by wearing a red poppy.

At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, I will observe a minute’s silence. Will you?

Tapi!

I love this. Tapi is a little rubber device that fits onto most standard taps. On it’s own, it is just a normal tap… but squeeze the bottom of it, and it turns into a drinking fountain!

Best of all, it’s by Australian company Dreamfarm. Available online through their website for $5.95.
