Oldest, continuously used and unchanged flag in the world. I'm not Danish but that flag is the nicest in the world.

Well no

, he knew the English would eventually come, in the meantime we rescued all the Danish Jews and kept the Germans busy by blowing shit up all the time, Holger and Winston had a chat about Lord Nelson and his robbing the Danish fleet the final nail in the coffin of little Denmarks former millitary might, so some payback was ordered. It's a bit like you Brits - once we where great

now we are just rich.

Come on Pickel Mate, it's got to be a hockey player with a broken nose and no teeth

or a Mounty riding a Moose or something, quite like your flag too.

I also heard that when Fuji or Kodak had first started using colour film they sent someone off to photograph the lakes of the Canadian Rockies, one of the lakes there is such a colour blue/green that when they sent the photos back they thought there was a problem with the film and sent them back with different film.

Norton already got the Mountie.

Hockey players get paid enough to have better teeth than me now. This guy is an icon when it comes to hockey though.

And the Canadian flag

LOL Actually I kind off agree with you, British TV seems to always have had more than it fair share of CAMP presenters. Graham Norton being the most recent in a number of presenters I cant stand. Eddie Izzard says he not gay, but he is a crossdresser, (as Al Murray would say) I have never been confused, so please dont ask me to explain that!!!! But I think he is a brilliant comedian, never does any camp-type jokes and the 43 marathons in 51 days for sport relief is an astounding achievement for an athlete, let alone a 45yr old fat bloke.

The great leechers changed the family name from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the English sounding Windsor in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment among the serfs.

British Bulldog

Newcastle Brown

This is the French version. Piloted by an inept surrender monkey.
