to be annoyed that the house across the road has a bloody big England flag flapping around outside?

[SleepyCaz]

Huge thing, it is. Hung from two of the upstairs windows. I HATE that. It makes the whole street look horrid. I know that might make me sound like a knob, but it just looks so tacky. My DB has just nipped over, and when I told him I hated the look of it, he laughed and said I was being a snob. Am I?

It is DIRECTLY opposite my front window, every time I look out, it is there, looming!

YABVU

Der de der der der der. Der de der der der der. Der deder, dederder der etc

Yes you are being a snob.

SNoooooooob. I want one. I may get a car flag too. 'Chav-esque-ism' is allowed around the World Cup. Embrace it!

FGS its WORLD CUP year get in the spirit. You'l be seeing more of them in a few weeks.

The woman the other side of the Park is really tacky. She puts up her England flag every time she gets home

Well, that's clear then - I'm a snob too. Would hate to see a flag hanging from across the road - currently only have to put up with posters of the smug gurning face of the Tory candidate.

Am not English either, though.....

I think the problem is not with the flag looking tacky so to speak but the impression it gives people just because a minority of
idiots people use it as a symbol for hatred...so its kind of become associated with 'if you have a England Flag outside your home you must be voting BNP in the elections' - and thats ofcourse not true...but the notion is there iyswim...so then the 'tacky' side of it begins to emerge...

LOL...don't think i made a blind bit of sense there...but hope you know what I mean...

Just come back from costco & they have flag poles for sale there with a choice of the union flag of the St Georges flag.

YABU.

I cant wait for the first england match 12th june at 20.30 against USA USA USA USA

Its not snobby. Its wannabe snobby
Objecting to flags at World Cup time is like having your tv in a pretend Victorian cabinet

How long does the World Cup go on for? When is the final?

YABVU. I can think of far tackier things to put outside your house. England will get knocked out after the first round anyway, then they'll take it down.

Ah right. Wannabe snobby. So not football-ist, as is most likely in my case?

Soccer-ist?

yabu
(and I hate footie) Pag love the lady and her flag

It's barking more than anything.

Haha, I suppose it is quite snobby, but I can't help it. It doesn't help that the guy who lives there is an arse too. Always outside his house 'effing and jeffing' while the children are all still awake/playing in the gardens. Had to close my front windows the other night because the bufoon was standing at the end of his drive, shouting, "What a fucking pile of shit.... he's a c*, smash him...etc" at 6pm. My DS, 4, had said, "Who is shouting all those nasty words, Mummy?" He is just the BNP type too, IMO.

Am not averse to all the flags, banners, face paints, deely boppers, t-shirts etc, that will be around over the Summer, just didn't expect a nasty flag, right in my face for months.

This a 'nice' area, you know. (wink)

Oh god NOOOOOO please don't start talking about the world cup ALREADY.

PS He was shouting into his mobile, not just at the world in general!

Footie-ist

[sigh] I used to love footie but it is horrible now. I prefer rugby.
Try to put up flags for rugby world cup but most of the world goes

My mum had one of those telly-in-a-cabinet. I would like one now. And big bar with cocktail sahkes with my name on...

You can do any old shit now and if you call it retro it becomes classy

[retroPag]

Lol SleepyCaz...You don't live in Essex by any chance do you?? (No offence intended to anyone...I am in Essex myself)

Nah, you want this Pag. (Look at the fecking price tag!!)

It finishes a month after it starts so 12th July.
