Englerand flags

Just been talking to my mate, a Dr of aerodynamics, who does freelance work for aircraft designers and F1 teams....

On subject of those little flags......

@ 30mph they consume 1 litre per flag per 30 miles

at 60mph 2.5 L at 80 4L

so engerland flag=less beer money.

what size flag is that? i got a small socceroos one for the car a couple of weeks ago. don't ask, it came free with a sunday paper. i haven't flown it yet. i may if we actually make it to the next round or beat brazil in 30 hours time.

I assume he is reffering to the standard 6inch chav badge model, I would also assume his consumption figures are based on a 1.4 corsa with neon tubes underneath, a hole in the exhaust and a rear wing ( on an FWD car....there is no limit to human fuckwittery)

It's not cheap being a chav

indeed it is. One wonders how they manage it with no job ;)

How much does it cost to run a german flag,one of those circa 1938 ones??...About 6 years bird if you do it in Nurenberg.Pricey!

LOL...off light if you ask me.

More of a Nurburgring than a nuremburg kinda guy ;)

nO REPLY SINCE 12.18 PM.

This thread is flagging

I can ask him for the CFD workings out if anyone here understands that shit. I for one do not.

fair point, but close the windows, empty the boot, clean the bodywork, pump up the tyres and at high speed you save the petrol for a flag.

If you like that kind of thing.

Only 'Engerland' flags on a car down my street are flown by a chick who has a season ticket at Man City.

No fuckin suprise there.

I went to this pub in Blaenau the other week. If you bring two England flags snapped off peoples cars, they give you a free pint of whatever you want.

why doesnt that surprise me?. Its OK for everyone else to fly their flags but not English!!!. Well, you would all be waving german flags now if it wasnt for the English.................

We're on our way.

Fifteen pints of Louis XI Brandy please

£1 flag for a £55 pint of brandy

Just a wild guess.... but she might be Engerlish? How she's evaded the men in white coats for so long we'll never know!

And look how old she is. Thought you're supposed to have some dignity at that age?

Not too shocking. Wind resistance is a drag (pun intended). I know that if you're going in excess of 50 mph, you're better off using the car's AC rather than opening the windows, because the drag caused by the open windows is so large. Anything that causes wind resistance will increase exponentially with speed.

Perhaps if you poke a bunch of holes in yer flag, you can be patriotic while remaining fiscally responsible. Nah? Just trying to help.

It might be easier to have the flags inside the car.

.....So tell me again exactly how did this crash happen?

I watched England's first game ,against Paraguay, at home.The lad across the street form me has England flags on his car.But he spent the duration of the game outside,washing his car .He didn't even have a radio on, listening to it

I heard that on the radio a while back - some Professor at Manchester University with too much time on his hands had done the maths.

This was allegedly the reason why most delivery companies have outlawed their drivers from putting flags on their vans. Purely a money saving measure and nothing at all to do with them being miserable bastards.

I don't have them on my car (despite fierce opposition from my children!) but I'm all for national pride so it seems a bit draconian. Another couple of weeks and they'll all be safely packed away again.

Yes. The quarter-finals are in two weeks time aren't they? ;)

Is that true? Washing your car makes it more aerodynamic? What about if you wax it? It feels smoother, does it work better through the air.

I've wondered this for ages and never thought to ask anyone.

One poor disabled man has been dragged out of his car and beaten up here in Aberdeen. The car had an England flag on it and he was wearing an England T-Shirt.

This is the sort of thing stopped happening years ago in more civilised parts of the world. All it is is low-level, mindless racism.

Think about cricketers polishing one side of the ball near their groin to get swerve.

Did that flag also have STOKE ORDER across it?

Disabled?! THat's no way to talk about Fradders.

Still, nice to see that the Jocks - as ever - always treat footy as a laugh, aren't naughty like the English barbarians, everything in good humour, good ol' loveable Tartan Army etc etc etc.

Not like they'd ever punch anyone to the ground while telling them "football's like a religion up here", is it???

Jock Jihad, anyone?

Blimey

Kids & the disabled eh? Mel Gibson would be proud.

On a lighter note heard on the radio that the monkeys at Knowsley Safari Park have a right stash of Engerland flags

It's just the way things go and I bet similar incidents have happened to Scottish/Irish folk down here as well as this one oop north. Obviously whoever does that type of thing to any nationality out of sheer nastiness is a c*nt and needs dealing with by the law.

Agree 100%, but, I may be wrong but English kids tend not to get brought up on a rivalry with other Brit/Irish nations. Same cant be said so much the other way round.

I saw a 10yr old NI kid on telly yesterday who said he didnt want England to win coz the Emglish would keep banging on about like they 'do' with '66. Now who was really talkling there? And Shug makes a good case for my argument

I'm not as fussed about the England footy team as most, but knowing how pissed off the people who hate us are if we win makes it a lot more fun

Are you sure? I think that’s bollocks. The English, as a rule, do not have anti-Scottish feelings at all.

I would fancy my chances wearing a Scottish shirt in any English City more than the other way around.

Sadly, the reason for these attacks is the inability of some people to tell the difference between banter and reality. Intelligent people I know might joke about throwing stones at people in England shirts or pulling off people's flags. Hating the English is a national obsession up here. But when there’s the possibility that it will be taken too far, it takes on a more serious aspect.

It's similar to England in the 70s/80s when it was common and socially acceptable to pick on and abuse Indian, Pakistani and black people. People cringe at it now, but the accepted name for the corner shop was ‘the Paki Shop’. Serious education was required to put a stop to it, and that’s what’s required in Scotland now. Knowing the Scots, these attacks might be all it takes – they’re very good at making their collective minds up about something and getting on with it. Look how they tackled the behaviour of the Tartan Army a few years ago. (Although, admittedly, this was largely a (successful) attempt to make the English fans look bad!)

The first step is understanding that you can be proud of something without hating everything else.

And BA's right - if the Scots stopped going on about the English going on about 1966 it would probably never be mentioned again

Aye, best bit of watching the game last night was the Scottish fella in the boozer cheering on Sweden... Good natured banter from all concerned... Not so sure it'd have been so friendly if it were the other way around...

SHEDi xxx

Its a lot more one way hatred/envy from the Scots,bless em..Scotland are more of an insignificance than anything else in football terms,ar'nt they?..Hard to muster the enthusiasm for a fan rivalry from England's point of view these days,Like wishing Lichtenstein get beat.....Tho we do try:p

Where are the Sounesses,Dalglishs,Strachans,Hansons?

Pity.. :D

All thee idiots running about in their footie shirts realy fucking annoy me.90% of them have probably never been near a football ground in their lives.And looking at the state of these fat pie eaters,they certainly have'nt ever played the game.Still live and let live!!!!!

I did hear reports of some pot-bellied balding chap wandering around in 30 degree heat with a 1972 Manchester City top on last week and yes, he did look a fool.

Still no answer to my question though, has anyone any evidence to support Ally's claim that the English are generally racist towards the Scottish?

Bobby Moore

The English v the rest of the UK is a bit like the US v the rest of the world. US/England are seen as the bullies. Everyone else hates them, while they don't particularly hate anyone. I'd feel pretty safe walking around here in an Iran or Iraq t-shirt, but I sure as hell wouldn't go to those countries and wear a USA t-shirt! A bit like any one sided rivalry (NY Yanks v Boston Red Sox, for you baseball fans) where the put upon one is much more interested in the rivalry than the putter uponer.

Animosity towards Americans in Iraq would be based on all the bombs that have fallen on them recently.

England hasn't bombed Scotland for ages!

And whenever England goes to bomb anyone else, they take loads of Scots with them - loads of Army lads are Scottish.

I just used those two countries as examples. I know lots of Americans, when travelling abroad, tell people they're Canadian (gonna give Canadians a bad name!). When I visited Bangladesh, my hosts advised the same thing, and I'm not aware that we've ever bombed Bangladesh.
As far as England, I only meant that the rest of the UK/Ireland seem to dislike them, not necessarily the rest of the world.

you don't have to wear an american flag. just put on a pair of levis, eat a can of heinz baked beans and drink a coke or pepsi and you're already showing off your stars and stripes!

Yes, now I think about it, you've got a point.

Wonder why it is?

America and England should join forces and beat the shit out of all smaller nations that irritate us by not appearing to like us very much.

That would show them

I've done all of those things in the last 24 hours.

I also drove a car with a very large V8 engine, ate Mexican food with watery lager for dinner last night, and again today for lunch. By most people's standards I have a large stomach and a fat ass.

I think I may have turned into an American!

Do I win $40?

You've been assimilated (sorry for the lame Star Trek reference)

put a giant outboard motor on the isle of wight i say, and travel the world taking back the colonies. if the argies put up a fight over the falklands, they're twice loony.

oh, wait. we were once a colony. oh, well. i don't mind. c'mon in.

No it's fine, I LOVE Star Trek.

I love everything American!

Please don't compare us to the US, there's a good chap.

I need to add with the requests to Shellshocker and say please stop trying so hard.

Yes, you post on a board where people from around the world post. But you don't have to prove how much you know about their culture by calling soccer footie or using angloslang.

You are a generally enjoyable and plesant person (whereas I realize I am not) but you'd be even more so if you just "be".

Don't 'chavs' and 'scallies' count as Angloslang?

What should I have called them? We don't have a comparable group and I was referring specifically to those in England and Europe as went by the context of the conversation.

but a serious answer to your point. I should have prefaced it by "forced" angloslang.

no, not really.... there's a difference between forcing something online to fit in and actually using natural vocabulary that comes to you easily. :P

I'm sure Christie, as well as other Americans who've also lived in the UK for any extended period of time have terms like that slipping back into their normal usage.. especially if you're around it a lot.

It's something I've noticed every time I've been to the US of A, most recently this time last year. That's why I was nodding so enthusiastically to Al's comments. My ex and I actually spent the whole of one trip having a running competition to see who could spot the worst cut jeans. It was like shooting fish in a barrel during the Vegas leg of the holiday!

But CM, bootcut?!!!! That's like soooo three years ago. Get with the skinny-fit program. Although as only about 10% of chicks who wear them can actually pull it off I'd tread carefully.

No I think you'll find skinny fit was 3 years ago!! : I can't pull it off anyway! My hips are too big. Style has to do with body shape too ;)

My stylist says bootcut are most flattering. Especially hip riding bootcut so you can see the THONG hahaha
