Don't know why olichris uses the union flag (Great Britain). I use the English flag (cross of St. George) because I'm English. Maybe he lives in England but is either Scottish, Welsh, or from Northern Ireland.
Great Britain is not a continent, Europe is a continent. Great Britain is within Europe.
The flag of Great Britain is called the union flag when on land, and it's called the union jack when aboard a ship.
So.....Great Britain isn't a country...but a Union??? I have heard people refer to Great Britain as a country. And if its a country, AND England is also a country.....How do you guys have countries inside of countries??? That almost seems not right. :(
If you think that is hard to comprehend, you should take a stab at the 566 nations that exist wholly within the United States.
After all, Canada is not an independant country.

She is queen of 'only' 15 countries. Brings the question into mind how many nationalities Elizabeth II has?
Well, Macer75 my vote is still not changed from SupremeOverlord to you. Will this happen before the voting closes or not?

I said something to this effect in an elevator in a Toronto hotel surrounded by folks with ice skates and hockey sticks.
I was horrified at my own stupidity, but they laughed and agreed with me.

Canada rocks! I love the zoning laws that keep in business all the small shops in Toronto. More power to you.
I might have to temper my "Canada Rocks" comment, given the news reported today in the BBC.

Standard operating procedure for Xian countries. The churches breed this stuff.

If I say yes, then will that be the third time that I confirm my change. So: yes I am sure. :-)
Got it. Your vote will be changed when I do the final count tomorrow.
Again, for those of you who haven't voted, VOTING CLOSES tomorrow morning! Get your votes in before it's too late!
Well, we might be able to do something like that once the concept of trolling matches gains more popularity. If we did it now we would get hardly any votes because of the short voting period.
Perviously, I've thought a doing something similar - a "freestyle trolling" competition. So basically I start a thread, and the contestants troll in that thread however they like, with no restrictions. At the end of the competition the winner is decided (either by votes or by judges) based solely on their performance in that thread.
In general I think trolls reduce the quality on the forum. Hope this doesnt encourage people to post alot to become troll of the month..
Doesn't the idea of a thread designed to be trolled negate the whole concept of trolling in its true essence ...???
