this piece of racist gabage?


You're aware of the difference between the Union Jack and the Union flag?
I'm sure someone will point it out.

Trolling score = 1.5/10. Must try harder.



He used to be quite good - you could always rely on one or two real
catches - unfortunately he is not up to it these days (if you know
what I mean)

Not of any real significance to most people.

Perhaps "most people" should be better educated.

Pray tell, why would most people even care?



If you are the epitome of most people - then they probably don't.

Union Jack, union flag are exactly the same thing and any official
government organisation will tell you the same. People who try to
pretend they are clever by making a difference do the exact opposite,
they show themselves to be Colonel Buffy Buftons (ret'd) who have lost
touch with the real world but still think their 19th century education
means they know everything.



Union Flag : a. The national flag or ensign, formerly of Great
Britain, in later use (from 1801) of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, formed by combining the crosses of St. George,
St. Andrew, and St. Patrick, retaining the blue ground of the banner
of St. Andrew.

Union Jack : a small British union flag flown as the jack of a ship


Will you inform the OED that they are wrong - or shall I?

Whats the Yorkshire flag?


One of those red and white stripy tea towels that you can get in packs of
three for a quid in almost any street market. There should be a small tea
stain in the top left corner and a larger one just below the centre.

I've already done that, if I fly a flag at all it's a St. George cross
or a Yorkshire flag.

They don't make Trolls like they used to.

They got more sence than here, if you not noticed they have made English a
dirty word now.


What is this "sence" of which you speak?

Is it because you consider English to be a dirty word that you haven't
learned to write it?
