I was kind of used to some sort of ceremony every year, as I worked in several clientcos that lost employees, but it was a non entity in cloggers this year.

I remember the good old East End barrow boys forcing us to do 1 minutes silence on the trade floor at the 1st and 2nd year anniversaries of Sept 11th but then never again after that... same goes for Diana's Death ... some big burly Bullah from the East End with a big personality suddenly stopped the trade floor over the P.A. system demanding 1 minutes silence......

Not the most caring and charitable people on those trade floors I remember ... so why do it I thought.

Demand that everybody else stop trading for one minute, then carry on regardless? That should be enough time to clean up very nicely on modern trading platforms

like this one last year?

And this one....

Would you be allowed to do 9 holes twice for $18.22?

Numerous companies in the US managed to make utter cocks of themselves on Twitter, with tweets like "On this day, we remember the fallen. As a tribute, there's a special 40% discount across our entire range!"

Today, they're tweeting things like "We're sorry if anybody was offended". Not "We're sorry if we were offensive", of course, because it's your fault.

There was a big ceremony at the white house yesterday

Why did J K Rowling have a big ceremony?

[GreyWolf]

In Zurich some obsessive sort usually vandalises walls and pavements with conspiracy stuff about 9/11 on the anniversary but I didn't see it this year. Either he's given up or the black helicopters came for him.

Then again, maybe it rained - he always uses chalk so no permanent damage is done. Sticking it to the man in a Swiss-style, wipe-down clean way.

My invite must've been lost in the post. Was it good?

[BrilloPad]

I remembered - I bought something at my local 7-11.

Bob in the office come in with this on yesterday...

Pretty tasteless

Would it be funny to go around with a tshirt extoling the virtues of the Bhopal disaster?

[tomtomagain]

They are taking the celebration abroad this year to Syria and Iraq.

There's going to be a whole lot of fireworks in the next few days.

No mention of the Twin Towers!

Why should there be? That was years ago - "The Return of the King", and two Hobbit films have been released since then
