THE three minutes' silence for the tsunami earthquake victims seems to have made G Scott both annoyed and cynical.

To stay silent for three minutes really made you realise the suffering and heartache felt by so many people around the world.

The response to help has been wonderful.

He says we should keep silent tribute for its real purpose not just any old cause, thousands dying in the worst natural disaster the world has ever seen, is some any old cause G Scott.

To make a cheap remark saying we shall be having a five minute silence for next door's cat truly is cruel and I find it very upsetting.
