Those bloody All Blacks flags

[notme]

.......look mucho better on a bike than on a cage :cool:. Anyone else sporting one?

Bloody rugby, you'd think there was nothing else happening in the world!

Blah Blah Blah Blah bloody rugby Blah Blah Blah.

[Oakie]

Yeah, I followed a car with one at about 70kph for a few kms yesterday (speed limit there was 70) and was wondering how secure the whole thing is and how I'd react if it suddenly came apart in front of me. I dropped back an extra 10 metres.

God I hate those damn flags! It's pointless and annoying. If they had other nation's flags available too it would be cool, you could see who supported who, but just the Silver Fern? Pointlessly patriotic. The main people I see with them on their cars are foreign taxi drivers, who seem to have a need to demonstrate how much they love NZ.

[Swoop]

The gubbinment is trying to sell us the line about "global yawning" and how we must be soooooooooooooooooo much more fuel and energy efficient...

Then people stick these "drag enhancers" on the outside of their vehicles???:blink:

It's not at all 'patriotic'.

LilSel's tattoo of a silver fern is patriotic. Those flags are just cynical exploitation.

Do people not even notice the credit card company logo on the flag? Is it that subliminal?

The unwashed brainless masses are driving around happily acting as billboards for MasterCard. Why do you think they give the flags out free at service stations?

Somewhere, an advertising executive is sitting in his leather chair, giggling uncontrollably as he sips his latte.

Wow, I never even saw the Mastercard logo. My flatmate has one on her car and I never saw it had that. Subliminal! Conspiracy!

What a boring lot you guys are. Its a little bit of fun (ok a really little bit), but does no harm, and people will take them down in a few weeks - after we win.

Umm like what?

Yeah bet they would be aye you rugby head, put your picks up and we'll be the judge smarty.

Haha atleast someone else out there spots the same thing as myself, I bet they are thinking, if I stick this black flag up I will get more people in my taxi. They are smart too you see.

But if you got in and asked them about the All Blacks they would think your talking about something rather different than Rugby.

[90s]

I didn't think that when I had to ride accross two on the road on a bend this morning. That stick bit is really quite chunky.

Also not sure the ABs can see, from France, what is happening in Auckland.

(England however can sense when I wear my replica shirts in World Cup - and look at what greatness it has inspired them to! :sick:)

Spend $20 at BP and pay by mastercard.

We filled up Miss Mully's car on Saturday, paid by Visa and got given one.

Saw one duct taped to the topbox on a scooter on the North Western on Tuesday night.

Well based on the number I've seen on the side or the road or in the gutter, I'd say they're not too secure at 100km. :crazy:

Sorry mate, looks like rugby is not so popular with some here,

Not my thing either, the mastercard logo is terrible.
Funny that at my work about 5 people have them, and they are all foreigners, whats with that??

Goodluck to the AB's though.

[*caution*]

Either that or a temporary (permanent more like) brain lapse, open window, oops there goes the flag, back to BP!!! I can't be without my AB's flag!!

[Ewan Oozarmy]

I can't see the problem with supporting your national side in a tournament with one of these clip-on flags so long as it's attached safely (and preferably only contains the countries flag and not corporate sponsorship, but whatever).

I don't like Rugby or cricket but would still like my country to win if they're playing in these world cups.

You should see those Euro and South American countries during the football (soccer) world cup - it's a case of spot the car that doesn't have one.

[Dodger]

I saw a van with 6 of the bloody flags on it the other day in Lower Hutt. :stupid:

[hXc]

Oh how I love this statement...
Notice how it's always "We won!", but if we lose, it's always "They lost."

Oh. And the flags look like arse.
Makes your SV look like shit, sorry Allun.

[Tank]

I did correct myself on the correct usage of "We" further up in the thread. But as a long standing die-hard AB supporter I have never said "they" lost.

Real fans stick with a team winning or losing.

Rugby? What's that then? Apart from a cement manufacturing town in Warwickshire.

those fucking flags are nothing but trouble! grrrrr. my boss has nearly been landed in shit after refusing a cash paying customer... she went and said the other customer paid by cash, when she didnt. plus, people seem to lose the ability to read. the sign says "with mastercard" and is covered with mastercard logos. ive been asked about 6 times "can i use my visa" "no, mastercard only" "so i cant use my visa then" "no" "!@#$%#%^$%%&^&" "have a nice day..."

fuckin waste of time. amount of trouble they cause, it aint funny.

I'm not even a Mastercard customer. I conned one out of the local BP station ladyand its proudly flying on my ute. I do chuck it inside for the 100k stuff though.
Don't give a shite about mastercard its there to show my share of national pride in the AB's :beer::banana:

Oh, BTW i broke my original flag yestrday drilling a hole in it for a different mounting.....so i went to the BP and got another 2. I'm thinking one off each muffler, probably on extender sticks like the orange flag type ones that kids have on thier bikes.

Should look pretty sweet, and make a nice noise on the cages as I lanesplit.

WHY WOULD I BE ASHAMED OF NOT SUPPORTING A TEAM MADE UP OF TYPES OF PEOPLE I DONT LIKE PLAYING A SPORT I DISLIKE!
Rugby mad kiwis seem to have no comprehension that the rest of the world hardly gives a flying fuck about Rugby! Half of the French population probably don't even know they're hosting the world cup.

[Weaver]

I saw one of those bloody flags on a fire engine this morning.

Its going to be an All Blacks vs South Africa final. With the All Blacks coming out on top :first:

[Trudes]

Filled up my bike before heading off for a ride this morning and the dude at the gas station handed me one and I say to him "What am I supposed to do with that?" and he says "put it on your bike", and I says "where exactly?" and he offers to come out and attach it to my bike and I say "no thanks, anyway, it'll probably blow off and get stuck in my back wheel or something", he was fairly insitant that I take it, but I resisted. Luckily, as it was bloody windy on the Rimatakas today and can't imagine it would still be on my bike when getting home. (As well as not wanting to look like a twat).:shutup:

[*caution*]

Dude that would be classic, awesome commitment!!

I think its all good, people are into what their into, what pisses most off is the media, every night on and on, come on its not that bad is it? It will be over in 2 weeks.......

on a side note, the womens world cup of soccer is about 20 times more popular (so i heard) 200 million people watch the final or something. Mens world cup final draws something like 350-400 million (depending whos playing i guess).

The FA Cup final gets 484 million. Bear in mind this is a single country club level soccer tournament.

I think the main reason the Womens Soccer world cup final gets so many viewers is the majority are waiting for the 2 sets of teams to exchange shirts at the end of the game :)

we did that to begin with, but we got yelled at. my main boss has 4 bps here in town. we have only about 50 left, go through a bag of 50 in about 2 or 3 days.

i usually ask people if they want one. regular customers get asked, non regs just get handed and are free to take it or leave it as they please. no way would i force one on someone.

Yup they will be hoping for an all black win too, but for a different reason I guess.
