    Still don't see how this relates to the French???

    See Pretani's opening post where he said "the only Irish flag you'll get here is the tricolour".

    I don't see how this relates to the French either.

    Also the Italian flag, Il Tricolore. :)

    I've never posted in here as I live in London, but the thread title caught my fancy - with good reason because it is as surreal as some of those in the Arms.:D

    Hello SnowyOwl ;)
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    Nah. We'll probably just look at you funny, and ask you to make pasta. Or something.
