Two Notable Quotes

"It represents shouting "UNION!" and joining together; kicking reason to the curb and doing the impossible; fighting the power, and piercing the heavens," he said

"Even at the height of Cool Britannia surely Tony Blair would have baulked at adopting this sunglasses-wearing, flame-haired cartoon dragon as our national emblem."


Before anyone asks wiki "Tengen Toppa Gurenn Lagann" One of the most epic and enjoyable shows ever made

And for the second place one "Zero no Tsukaima"

"At first most of the readers' flags were sent from within the UK, but then a Japanese Website offered to help." Wow..just wow..

A flag showing St George slaying a Welsh dragon seems to jar with Mr Lucas's stated intention of illustrating Wales's "true place in the Union".


HAHAHAHAH, the Welsh will rise again!

Did you see the second and third place designs? Obviously a bunch of tools on some forum somewhere thought it'd be funny to vote those designs to the top. It even says in the article that the winning design came from the back of the pack at the end of the voting.

Wow. That went off topic quickly.

And to mugs, interesting that a couple of people were able to change the entire vote.

It's good to know that politicians across the pond are about as idiotic as ours, to be discussing issues like these. Maybe this is why Robin Williams joked:

"...the House of Commons, which is like Congress, with a two drink minimum, crazy place!

"'I believe my worthy opponent...'
'Fuck off! I'll bullet you, bastard. Fuck you!'
'Would someone remove Mrs Thatcher from the chamber?'"
