Please, oh wise, kind and beneficent (not to mention beauteous and radiant) MNHQ can we please have lilac flowers for the 25th of May?
For those not in the know, on the Discworld, this is the date of The People's Glorious Revolution, when those killed doing their duty are remembered by their comrades.
In our world, many now support the idea, not just to remember the wonder that was Sir Terry Pratchett, but also to remember those whose lives are affected by Alzheimer's and to raise awareness of this hideous embuggerance.
It's only a little thing, but it would be a lovely little thing.

Excellent! Which topic, Truly?

TrulyTurtles · 24/05/2015 16:57

They rise heads up, heads up, heads up, they rise heads up, heads up high!

Hi everyone, I hadn't forgotten, and here's a new thread...
Which I don't seem to be able to link to. But the title is
Wear your lilac with pride on the 25 May.

Balls to the embuggerance!

Just thought I'd post here to remind you, seeing as how it's already May 25th here, so you've got about 7hours before it hits the UK...

Really hope the lilac flowers will be remembered, in honour of Sir Terry Pratchett and the Alzheimer's Awareness.

How do they rise up, rise up, rise up?

Hurrah! Thank you MNHQ and Techs!

BernardlookImaprostituterobotf · 29/03/2015 23:30

Thank you - I await the confusion of everyone else but it seems quite fitting for it to be launched amongst a lilac carpet over the boards.
V pretty pin too.
Thanks

ArcheryAnnie · 29/03/2015 14:37

Just seen this - it's lovely, and thank you so much, RebeccaMN.

RustyBear · 28/03/2015 18:06

I'm hoping to have some real lilac from the tree outside our bedroom window - I actually thought it flowered earlier than late May (we've only lived here 24 years, why would I know something like that...)

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 28/03/2015 16:36

Better get myself one before they sell out. Smile Flowers

Bogeyface · 27/03/2015 23:27

Well, more accurately, will have when it arrives!

Bogeyface · 27/03/2015 23:26

Thats the one I have Adora!!

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 27/03/2015 23:14

Ooh found this on eBay.

Wearing the lilac.
MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 27/03/2015 23:04

That's lovely. We'll be driving across the country that day but I will check in and post my lilac with pride.

Bizarrely all my posts are highlighted lilac. I chose it ages ago.
