Hear Ye, Hear Ye - you can now support your World cup footie team with a little flag (NOT an avatar, oh no!)

[JustineMumsnet]

Hello everyone,
ShamTech has built a little thingy over the weekend that means you can now display a teeny flag of the world cup team of your choice by your username when you post, should you wish.

Just go to the my profile page and make your selection.

We'd like to point out that this does not mean any change in policy wrt to avatars, tickers and the like and is by no means the thin end of any wedge.

(I've chosen England for now but reserve the right to switch to Belgium as and when my choice becomes redundant )

I want to keep mine. Though before this thread I was thinking they were posters' country of origin and had to have one too

It is the start of the slippery slope, though, as regards avatars

Sehr gut!

Mine's not working!!

I want a flag, dammit!

[wail]
[floods of tears]

Ha!
In the best IT Crowd tradition (switching it off and on again) I fixed it

Testing

Will this show my sweepstake team?

Yes! Cote d'Ivoire to win!

Wow, three of us got the same team! So either we all work in different places or the organiser has diddled me out of my £1.

Testing

I'll have this for now but suspect I'll be swopping to Brazil around 10pm on Thursday evening.

loving the way i can now see all the Nederlanders on here!

Cameroon!

Testing. Japan for pikachu

Yay, Bellosom! Arigato, Tech

Very clever! I also thought it was for country of origin for a sec there until I saw Maryz had Cameroon and went "hang on a sec... ahhhh, World cup!"

Not sure I can bear to put a flag up because I do so loathe the football, but maybe I'll get sucked in. I'll wait a bit...

Baroness - Holland don't deserve an orange flag, they're playing in black!! Or so far, the bit of the match I saw, they were playing in black - I was disappointed! But the goalies all seem to be Dutch - what's that all about?

(I have a footie-mad DH, I can't help it if he's watching it in the bedroom every single fucking time I go in there to see where he's hiding )

Scatter a few and and around the previous post, I meant to include them to show I wasn't being in the slightest bit serious about Holland, honestly.

Yay to team Ivory

Testing

Go Team Cote D'Ivoire!

Go Team Cote D'Ivoire!

Go Team Cote D'Ivoire!

Whoops

Slippery slope to ovulation calendars.

There, there ThumbWitch . Come and share my stroopwaffels. All is forgiven.

Makes them all look like the bloody ref anyway.
