Flag flying - what's your views?

[Big Dan]

Hi All

the question the poll asks really says it all but here is a little background

I myself are NZder and also one other flatmate. Had a Pom move in and wants to fly his english flag on clothes line


I consider this rude, whats your thoughts

[CookMySock]

It couldn't possibly do anything that would affect me. Makes no difference whatsoever. shrug.

You can spend your whole life picking up shit and eating it. Its nasty. Don't do it. Let things go that don't actually have any effect on you.

Well...YOU'VE got fuck-all to worry about in life haven't you??
:rolleyes:

[98tls]

Paint a rather large NZ flag on his bedroom ceiling.

[mattian]

The Union Jack is in the corner of the New Zealand flag. The Union Jack has the English St Georges cross in the middle of it so........ effectively, everytime you fly the NZ flag.... you are also flying the English, Scottish and Welsh flags. :buggerd:

[Jerry74]

No issue we are all POMS originally

[Fatjim]

Could be worse, could be this flag instead.

[MisterD]

Yep, it's definitely rude to fly my flag on the clothes line. Tell him to do it properly and put a flag pole up.

You gotta be joking....

World is slightly bigger then those couple off shitty islands....

thank god...

:scooter:

[Mooch]

If it's any consolation when the wife & i were living on the Thames in London we'd hang a NZ flag out the appartment window during any NZ verse Uk sports events.

Gave something for all the tourist boats to have a look at ...2005 Grandslam.:Punk:

+1...get over it

I would also second the comment about getting it (the flag you dirty dirty boys :lol:) off the damn clothesline and finding a fricken pole to hoist it up!!!

[Bren]

tell him if he wants to fly a flag then he can fly the NZ one...

[Pumba]

Minnor issue, but it is funny the things that bug us for what ever reason that may be.

My thoughts would be to get a New Zealand flag too fly alongside.

Out of intrest (cause I get confused) are we talking a full Union Jack, or just the Cross of St George?

[avgas]

I myself are NZder and also one other flatmate. Had a Pom move in and wants to fly his english flag on clothes line

Why was he wearing it before flying it.....and now wears nothing?
should i feel offended when i see a bible?

[Indiana_Jones]

Well I wouldn't let him fly the flag on a pole etc, that's reserved for NZ flags, but they can hang it on a wall etc

+1...get over it

+ another 1. Really? You can't find something else to worry about?
Could have been worse, at least it wasn't this flag:

[Robert Taylor]

Im proud of our English heritage ( warts and all ) The Union Jack is part of our flag and absolutely should be there. It is part of Helen Clarks agenda to get rid of it, heres hoping that she can be cut off at the knees ( or better still the kneck ) within a couple of months so she cannot spread her poison here any longer.

Having just viewed that affront to decency I am now dissappearing to the little room to be violently ill. Blue is a much much more agreeable colour.

Here you go Robert, this'll make you feel better (You'll probably recall this from your youth.... :) )

Leave it on the clothes line till you need to dry your bike.

So am I . And so indeed it should. We are yet loyal subjects of Her Majesty.(albeit with a Jacobin reservation of fealty to His Brittanic Majesty King Francis, whom God preserve)

[Storm]

Put upa flag pole and be sure its taller than his flag and then you can both be happy :bleh:

[awayatc]

getting red rep from a very ugly fat bald flagwaving pom coz " NZ will always be part of the british empire".....

Could somebody please put some chlorine into the genepool?

[NighthawkNZ]

FFS its just a flag... there could be worse flags that he wants to hang out... Aussie... but then again you probably could tell the difference... aussie flag 6 stars and all white stars... one huge bugger under the jack... kiwi flag, 4 stars and theya re red and white...


Out of intrest (cause I get confused) are we talking a full Union Jack, or just the Cross of St George?

if its the union jack and if you are that worried about get a big blue sheet, draw 4 red stars with white boarders forming a diamond on right half... get some needle and thread and stitch it to the top left corner...

[fire eyes]

:dodge: What better place for him to hang it then on the Clothes Line!

Cmon Dan ... Go & get laid & think about the good things in life :lol:

[alanzs]

Some day I hope I have nothing else to worry about or get offended by except a piece of cloth with different colours on it. Imagine how wonderful life would be if the only worry you had was the colours on a piece of cloth on the line in the backyard. Oh, for the day....

Quick, ring the alarm, the village idiot has escaped!!!! :laugh:

[imdying]

Not at all... I don't even have a New Zealand flag, but I do have a huge Japanese flag... I'd fly it if I had a flag pole :yes:

[martybabe]

It's quite a common sight in Spain to see flag poles bearing the Spanish flag with the occupants home country flag flying beneath it, It shows an interest in and an allegiance to the land of their birth and their adopted home. I think that's pretty cool in this transient global society we live in.

I wouldn't be too bothered if next door wanted to fly a chinese flag, I'd be a bit confused though cause he's German. :laugh:

Don't sweat it mate, taint nothing unless your at war with the country the flag belongs to, I could see that ruffling a few feathers. :confused:

[Mikkel]

No issue we are all POMS originally

Hmmm, although if you can trace your ancestry back to a nun from York you've probably got a bit of Danish blood in there too :D

How about the Maoris - are they all originally from England too?

The Dutch? The Germans? The Chinese? The Japanese?... and the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on...


Well I wouldn't let him fly the flag on a pole etc, that's reserved for NZ flags, but they can hang it on a wall etc

It would appear that there are quite a few touristy places around New Zealand that would disagree with that. Hell, I've even seen a Danish flag a couple of times.


Let's get a check on that nationalism. It's just a coloured rag for christ sake... The only four flags that ought to be taken serious are these:

:killingme Horny hat= Horny disposition eh.

[AllanB]

What I don't get is the number of Poms, scots etc who come over here and wank on about the 'homeland' - if it was so bloody good why come to live in NZ?

For the kids they say - why is England etc shit for kids?

I notice when they are moaning on about NZ and then reliving wonderful times back 'home' if I say 'leave, go back then' they do not like it.

Plus a lot of the imports are very uptight - chill out I say you are in NZ now!

At the end of the day as long as he is not erecting his pole near your girl, I'd not be bothered!

[EJK]

Speaking of flags, Libyan flag is the most interesting of all...

[MisterD]

For most is boils down to 4m people here, versus 60m in the same land area back there. Culture shock is minimised since both countries have lying scheming corrupt Labour governments, and at least here we don't have the extra layer of European lunacy generating waves of useless immigrants from the former Eastern Bloc.

Personally - I married a Kiwi and got imported.

One thing you all should be proud of is the participation level in all kinds of sports and outdoor activities. The trends aren't good, but it's like winding the clock back in a good way.

Hope this helps clarify your confusion but it is an obvious difference between ex-pat Brits and other immigrants is that we don't look to some arbitary point in the future at which we will suddenly become "Kiwis".

I will always be English, I won't ever become a Kiwi - don't take offence at that, it's just a fact. My son was born here, and he's a Kiwi (or maybe Briwi) and I am proud of that, but NZ is just where I live not part of how I define myself.

[Tank]

Meh, My wife puts out a Cross of St George when there is NZ / England Rugby games. I used to fly a NZ flag in the UK when there was sporting events on there as well.

I dont consider my actions rude - not that of my wife or your flatmate.

Personally I think its nice to see them out there - and I wish that more New Zealanders flew flags.

Fuck it - I might just go put a flag pole out the back of the house.

Considering we are your mother country we have every right to fly our flag.

If it was french/german/swiss/greek/us/canadian etc.. then burn it.

[Flatcap]

I will always be English

You mean, apart from the Irish bit...?

I'm an import from the US and there isn't a day which goes by that I'm not glad I'm living here. This is a truly great place to be, but then again, being is all between your ears anyways.

I must admit, I chuckle when some of my UK imported co-workers talk about how they can't get a good sausage here. I laugh and tell 'em I got some prime sausage for 'em; Grade AAA US 100% Imported Beef! :cool:

[MisterD]

Even diamonds have impurities.:2thumbsup:

[Mikkel]

That's the naval signal flag for plague/yellow fever/something contagious, horrible and deadly - AKA stay away if you wanna live.

FFS you have forgotten the most important flag of them all.The black and white checkered one!!!!:first:

No, I'm old school. Female co-workers only. Really nobody but my wife. Why, you interested in prime US sausage? If so, have fun! :doh:

We sure as heck could do with more UK immigrants ( who can positively enhance the country )than the hordes of 3rd world immigrants we so often have to subsidise. Rule Brittania.

Gordon Background Brown? A very forgettable man......I truly wish I could say that about our Labour leader/PM, but I fear I will endure nightmares of Frankensteins sister for quite some time after the election, regardless of outcome.

Or at least that's what my therapist says, but who knows? She could be a Greenie..... :Pokey:

Robert, you might know - any truth to the rumour that this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHLjYBsl2zA
is being used for an advertising campaign in the upcoming UK elections? Not sure which side of the benches was going to run it though.... :rofl:[

[Mikkel]

FFS you have forgotten the most important flag of them all.The black and white checkered one!!!!:first:

Nah, it's not that important - you can usually sneak in another lap or two before the officials can force you off the track :D


NOW you tell me ... fuck it - I thought it was a strange colour combination for her undies - now I know why.

I dunno if they apply to the french pox as well :scratch:


The letter "F".....
All letters are represented by different flags.....so signalmen could pass messages from on ship to the other silently....

According to what I can find online it either means "L", "Stop immediately" or "Plague, Cholera or Yellow Fever".
