I never noticed before, but it seems the flags of Romania and Belgium are almost identical. Its not like they have much else in common.

Ancestral home of Count Dracula and assorted undead misfits. More recently home to one of the most evil dictators of the past hundred odd years. Play football with more flair than yer average east european team. Hate being mistaken for hungarians.

Home to a bunch of useless bureacrats. Good chocs, if you like 'em. Great beer, if you like gettin wasted. Play football with as much flair as a doorstop (Scifo excluded - with a name like that he should be italian anyway). Hate being mistaken for the french, but deserve it.

Now, if I was either Romanian or Belgian I'd probably be pretty pissed off about these stereotypical generalizations. But between them they've only visited the blog twice, so I'm not too worried.

Isn't the Italian flag and the Irish flag the same only switched around?

Apparently no one from either Italy or Ireland has visited the blog and left their little flags (bastards!) so I'll have to assume you're right.

Belgium is also some to that weird atom thing - the atomatarian or something that sounds suspiciously like it should be in the Simpsons.

Hey, leaving comments and then deleting them? Why'd you do that? It was a perfectly valid comment... plus I had a good response which I can't use now... it was a nice response as well... oh dear.

Oops! You read it. It was meant as a joke but I thought your interviewee might not appreciate it. To make up for it I'm gonna visit his trivial tues post.

...so I'll have to assume you're right. It's a good general rule to follow. Always assume I am right. ;D

B'ah - you should have left it, I thought it was funny.

People have downright stolen our Great British flag and the very colours from it all over the dashed place. Damnable cheek. Simply not cricket.

I enjoyed this post when I read it on Fri, Mon, Tues, & even a little today....I'm now ready for some fresh perspective and wit.

The Pryncess has spoken.

MoMo said...
