Uuumph! Uuumph!

I'd just like to say Uuumph!, keeping in-line with other restrictions imposed by Buracratic rulings Uuumph!, that I strongly object to the logo of this website Uuumph! showing the St Georges Cross.

I find this most offensive Uuumph! and likely to cause a National outcry Uuumph! Uuumph! How dare you show your patrotism in this way. Uuumph!!!
Our Parents & Grandparents didn't give their lives in the 2 World Wars so that you could flaunt this flag in this way. Uuumph!! Uuumph!!
It has taken about 4,500,000,000 (4.5 billion) years for the Earth to form as it is now .........
and it'll only take about another 100 years for mankind to really **** it up!!!!

    I strongly object to your Avatar-it looks like the type of bear that would have love and hate tattoed on its knuckles.

    I've just noticed that there is a St Georges flag attached to a car parked in my drive.
    OMG its mine, I must be punished, who's a naughty Penrhyn?:rotfl:

    You know having a flag flying from your car significantly increases your petrol usage
  • I was wondering how long it would be until we mentioned this to the world. a colleague showed me text about white flags with red crosses on cars being a sign which must be showed by drivers without sizeable family jewels if you get my meaning!!! It was funnier on the text though.;)

    Be fair .. he was Father O'Lewis on St Paddies day and he was blue and white on St Andrews day and from the expression on his face I am pretty sure he had a leek shoved somewhere on St Davids day

    There is also a rumour going round that he will be appearing in red swimming shorts on St David Hasslehoffs day and frilly see-thru underwear on St Vivien Westwoods day.

  • DfT ANNOUNCES PUBLIC DRIVING STANDARDS RECOGNITION SCHEME

    Due to the decreasing quality of driving in England the Department for
    Transport has devised a scheme to identify poor drivers whilst giving good
    drivers the opportunity to recognise them whilst on the highway.

    Thus from the middle of May 2006 those drivers who are found to be driving
    badly which includes:
    . overtaking in dangerous places
    . tailgating
    . braking sharply
    . speeding in residential areas
    . failing to indicate at junctions
    . parking on footpaths
    . performing U turns inappropriately in busy high streets
    . taking up more than one lane on multi-lane highways
    . anything of a furry nature hanging from a rear-view mirror
    . lowered suspension on family sized car
    . driving with a stereo system on maximum volume with windows

    wound down

    will be issued with flags coloured white and bearing a red cross, signifying
    their inability to drive correctly.

    These flags must be clipped to a door of the car and be visible to all other
    drivers and pedestrians.

    IMPORTANT: Those drivers who have shown particularly poor driving skills
    will have to display two flags, one on each side of their vehicle, to
    indicate their greater lack of skill and general lower intelligence to the
    general public.

    Please circulate this to as many other motorists as you can so that all
    driver's and pedestrians become aware of this initiative and the meaning of
    the flags.
