The Union Flag

Now be told!

Flag or jack

I don't mind what people call it - everyone knows what it represents.

It is only in recent years that we have been corrected from saying 'jack' to 'flag'.

Jack sounds better, it has a piratey/rakish feel to it.

Make sure it's right road up.

Even that doesn't bother me, now that EU flag is another business altogether.

Am waiting for the new pirate movie where the first Union Jack was used. I want to take the lad, so I hope it's rated Arrrrr!

We may go in the Carrrrrr!

Why is it a long way away.

No, I live next door, but I don't need the exercise.

So not farrrr.

Is he here?

Or even herrr

No, but you arrrr!

The Mester's missing a treat.

He's a Robert Newton fan.

Aaargh jim lad

Azores?

Aye, fast asleep

You're supposed to reply 'No it has an little outboard motor'.

Didn't hear it I was asleep

Put the cat on.

OK, but why?

Because, Mache, if you're dozing off, we'll get more sense out of the cat.

Providing it isn't too busy licking your bonce again.

It's asleep in a cardboard box

Sounds about reet.

It's happy, hardly moved for 3 days

Apologies for trashing another brilliant thread

Bugger won't give properties. Hence link, rather than pic.

Cheeky sods. Send them some pee glasses.

What you been drinking.

Pee.

Look at the state of Mac's lovely thread.

The bold and the beautiful will be whining soon.

This will cheer him up

He wants a dress like that.

Can't find a pic of that transvestite who wore one on Weakest Link.

More cheering up ing.

Unable to find yon drag queen, I tried to find him a nice Tim Brooke-Taylor wearing 'that' waistcoat. Not much doing really.

So he can have a Lovely Lesley to be going on with.

Just remembered this thread.

Yon Tim Brooke-Taylor has just been on the box presenitg one of those clip shows featuring animals.

Why they needed to spend a lot of time featuring Brooke-Taylor and abloke dressed as a dog in a studio is beyond me.

Money for owd rope. Padding out a show with tat.

Similarlly, more garbage featuring Richard Hammond.

Poxy re hash of Beadle's About combiined with bit oof a Dom Joly rip off.

More crappy padding in a studio.

Do you have a flag?

I'll swap you one for a link which works.

Fixed. This sodding imac deletes the equals when you hold ctrl and click to paste the link.

The article's description expaaining the origin of the name "Great Britain" is contrary to what I was told in school,which was that this island is called Great Britain because it is the largest of the British Isles.I wonder which is correct.

Geoffrey of Monmouth in his pseudohistorical Historia Regum Britanniae (c. 1136) refers to the island of Great Britain as Britannia major ("Greater Britain"), to distinguish it from Britannia minor ("Lesser Britain"), the continental region which approximates to modern Brittany.

Ha,another piece of miss-information from Catholic school then.
