to think DH is taking the piss

DH has announced that the house will stay like this while England remain in the tournament.

Edit - how do you post pics?

My fucking house is covered in England flags. I. Am. Fucking. Fuming

What a lot of snobbery and nastiness on this thread.

How is it disrespectful to op for her husband to display his country's flag in his country? No-one is being disrespectful to op's flag or country.

I wonder what the response would be if a woman posted that she'd put up some decorations that her husband didn't like, and he'd threatened to take them down when she was at work.

Quin- take it your not a football fan

SomeKnobend · 25/06/2018 18:11

Haha, lovely. I think you should put up an equal amount of Polish flags until they're still in the competition.

I'd think that you have fantastic boozy barbecues and be jealous if I saw your house.

I like people who get into the spirit of things, though.

It’s OPs country too, she said upthread England is her home?

What's the tournament? Is he playing?

Have they been up for 4 years? Because the pic looks like the one that cost Emily Thornberry her shadow cabinet post.

No white van in this one.

I know Poland are probably out of the tournament. Still don't see why that means op's dh can't put up England flags. If he'd put up Colombian flags, and wasn't Colombian, you might have a point.

I would book a last minute break overseas. Just go. I couldn't cope with that.

itsbetterthanabox · 25/06/2018 18:21

Oh god that's so embarrassing.
Can't he just watch it?

randomchap · 25/06/2018 18:22

Put Poland flags up too. The house opposite mine has both Nigerian and England flags up.

The couple's son is wanting a Nigeria vs England final. The optimism of youth...

mzsink · 25/06/2018 18:25

Quin- a lot of this thread is banter. Which happens a lot in football

Dodie66 · 25/06/2018 18:27

I didn’t put ours up this time. Every time I put them up we lose LOL

Pa1oma · 25/06/2018 18:32

Op is yours the only house in the street like that or is it a trend?
I agree with PPs to just put some other random flags out. Anything will do - LGBT, the Brownies, the UN, whatever.

tildaMa · 25/06/2018 18:35

@Pa1oma EU flag!

Lethaldrizzle · 25/06/2018 18:41

Its all a bit nationalistic and 'England first'

Helloisitteaurlookingfor · 25/06/2018 18:42

I think it's good fun! Live a little.

DiegoMadonna · 25/06/2018 18:44

That's kind of how the world cup works

MagicFajita · 25/06/2018 18:44

Are you the fun police op?

Oi oi Football

2blueshoes · 25/06/2018 19:46

Not a football fan but happened to watch the match on Sunday, I really enjoyed it.

I, personally, love it when we have something good, unifying, ever happening in the Country. I'm going to dig mine out and put it up.

What's the problem? They'll be down when England leaves the World Cup - won't be long :)

FeistyOldBat · 25/06/2018 21:31

Aaarghhhh! Use it to negotiate some extra-special treats - he owes you, big time.

sirmione16 · 25/06/2018 21:48

I'm all for national pride, the World Cup etc but omg this is tacky and embarrassing - I agree OP, take them down and put them somewhere they'll never be found
