This flag, I keep mistaking it for the danish one.Is it like the US confederate flag thingie? Friend of mine - originally from the UK now living in Sweden - had this one at his house, never got around to asking about it.

To remember it, think of the origin storyOf a Danish king in a white tabard who got bloodsoaked then took off his sword belt, revealing white stripes across his now red tabard.

it's not as good as ulster's red handguy enters a boat race and looks like losing it so he chops his own hand off and chucks it over the line.

If you're not on a windupit's the flag of St George, the flag of England, represented on the Union Jack by the big red cross in the middle, the other bits on the Union Jack being a white saltire on blue for Scotland and a red saltire on white for Northern Ireland. Wales have no representation because they're a bunch of Welsh-speaking trolls who the English conquered a millennium back.
Edit: If we're feeling over-sensitive the rest of us can get wound up by the English using the Union Jack at sports events where only England are playing. Same as we can get wound up by England flags being waved at the Olympics. Oddly, we rarely seem to get as wound up when Scottish flags are waved around.
Edit edit: The London Olympics will be fun if we do what seems likely and actually enter the football. We normally don't because at the Olympics we'd be entering a UK team -- and we don't play as the UK, we have four football leagues and four national teams, and FIFA occasionally threaten us with combining to a single national team. I believe we're going to field an English team as a UK team (which is only practical; the only Scot I can think of who'd get into the England team instantly would be Craig Gordon, so a UK team would basically just be England in red, white and blue). Then we can get offended either way. Wave a Union Jack and it's offensive cos it's an English team. Wave the flag of St George and it's offensive since they're playing for the UK. Jolly japes will be had by all.

Nope, I'd actually forgottenLearned that when I was a few weeks in Hastings around age 9-10. The times I visited the following 20-odd years, I was busy drinking and going to concerts. Loud muzak, women and heavy drinking seems to be the route to ignorance.

Hey, I've not added any citationsIt'd probably be very hard to. I'd just invent them, like all the times I've invented citations to back up my claim that Gary Lineker spent time in jail for telling a fake Sheikh that the Queen is a bit of an old slapper.

Slapped my forehead the moment I'd posted the question and wiki'd it.
Don't tell Boris tho, he was very kind typing all that up - and contributed a few nice points not wikiable.

hahahahai type fast and it's better than working out whether i'm out of the limits of an integration or not, which is not the most fascinating thing i've ever done.
plus i called the welsh a bunch of trolls and appeared to get away with it.
now i'm going to go home and eat.

Yeah, me too, Firefox 3.6.3 on a MacFrequently the last frame is replaced with an enormous grey rectangle. Not always true, and not here, but more than often enough to be a right pain in the arse.
