hmmm 6:00pm, only about 4 hours or so till the Oils hit the stage at the =
Uni Bar (ANU) here in sunny Canberra. Will we get the requests? I hope =
so, signs ready that read "Basement Flat", "Koala Sprint" and "Blossom =
and Blood". Couple of beers in the belly to get in that =
PPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYY spirit. Waiting for the =
'designated driver' to pick me up and we'll be off. Not sure if we'll =
make the supports, though I think I'd like to see Diesel. Saw Johhny and =
the Injectors support Noiseworks once at the Australian Institute of =
Sport and they were great, I reckon he'd be able to hold his head high =
as an Oils support act (though I'm still of the opinion that the John =
Butler Trio would be perfect for the Oils as support - as an aside =
anyone see John and Casey do True Colours at the Aria's? Beautiful). =
Fingers crossed for some old gold.

I'd also like to throw out an early "peace" call for Rememberance Day =
tomorrow. Stay solid.

Cheers

For those O/S that are interested:
Remembrance Day is the day Australians remember those who have died in =
war.

In 1918 the armistice that ended World War I came into force, bringing =
to an end four years of hostilities that saw 61 919 Australians die at =
sea, in the air, and on foreign soil. Few Australian families were left =
untouched by the events of World War I - 'the war to end all wars' most =
had lost a father, son, daughter, brother, sister or friend.=20

At 11am on 11 November we pause to remember the sacrifice of those men =
and women who have died or suffered in wars and conflicts and all those =
who have served during the past 100 years.=20

      Remembrance Day

      Origin
      At 5am on 11 November 1918, three German government =
representatives accepted the armistice terms presented to them by an =
allied commander, General Foch of the French Army. The demands of the =
armistice included the withdrawal of German forces to the east bank of =
the Rhine within 30 days; immediate cessation of warfare; and surrender =
of the German fleet and all heavy guns with no further negotiations =
until the signing of the peace treaty.=20

      The armistice became effective at 11am the same day, and as the =
guns fell silent on the Western Front in France and Belgium, four years =
of hostilities ended.=20

      The cease-fire was made permanent the following year when members =
of the Commonwealth and the League of Nations signed the Treaty of =
Versailles. People across the world celebrated the war's end - =
celebrations tempered by thoughts of the enormous suffering and loss of =
life resulting from the war.=20

      More than 416 000 Australians volunteered for service in World War =
I. Of these, 324 000 served overseas. More than 60 000 Australians were =
killed, including 45 000 who died on the Western Front in France and =
Belgium and more than 8 000 who died on the Gallipoli Peninsula in =
Turkey.=20

      In Australia and other allied countries, including New Zealand, =
Canada and the United States, 11 November became known as Armistice Day =
- a day to remember those who died in World War I. The day continues to =
be commemorated in Allied countries.

      After World War II the Australian Government agreed to the United =
Kingdom's proposal that Armistice Day be renamed Remembrance Day to =
commemorate those who were killed in both World Wars. Today the loss of =
Australian lives from all wars and conflicts is commemorated on =
Remembrance Day.=20

      In October 1997 the Governor-General issued a Proclamation =
declaring 11 November as Remembrance Day - a day to remember the =
sacrifice of those who have died for Australia in wars and conflicts.=20

      The Proclamation reinforced the importance of Remembrance Day and =
encouraged all Australians to renew their observance of the event.=20
    =20


      Remembrance Day

      Unknown soldiers
      Twentieth century warfare resulted in millions of unknown dead =
resting in unknown graves. Of Australia's war dead from World War I and =
World War II, 35 527 (about 35 per cent) have no known graves.=20

      The names of many Australians who died in World War I appear on =
memorials along the Western Front, including the names of about 18 000 =
men of the Australian Imperial Force with 'no known grave'.=20

      In 1993, to mark the 75th anniversary of the 1918 armistice, the =
Australian Government exhumed the remains of an unknown Australian =
soldier from the Western Front for entombment at the Australian War =
Memorial's Hall of Memory, Canberra.=20

      The Unknown Soldier's remains were exhumed from the Adelaide =
Cemetery, near Villers-Bretonneux on the Western Front. A State Funeral =
was held on 11 November 1993 - Remembrance Day.=20
    =20
