BURN IT!!!......Only joking:D Hmmmm I havnt a clue.:rolleyes: Arron quay perhaps, somewhere round there?

People fly all kinds of national flags in the States, but mostly USA. Especially around university with students from all over the world. So what's the big deal? It's not like they are laying claim to USA or Irish soil.:rolleyes:

Not only that, know some girls that wear flags on the seat of their pants.

On a marine vessel?

Civilian_Target · 23-07-2006 09:12PM

Erm... custom house...

luckat · 23-07-2006 09:17PM

Not a marine vessel, not (as far as I know) on the Custom House.

Prize? Hmmm.... a lucky ring?

Fajitas! · 23-07-2006 09:19PM

Possibly on a rooftop along by the liffey...If you're coming off Church St, from Constitution hill... non?

EDIT: and it's graffiti, not an actual flag...Guess I shoulda mentioned that!

luckat · 23-07-2006 10:08PM

Not a rooftop, not graffiti.

Lump · 23-07-2006 10:23PM

The British Embassy? The Four Courts? Who cares?

nikolaitr · 23-07-2006 10:29PM

Just outside the Four Courts along with some other flags.....I always see them in B&W and think "Am I going colour Blind"

Flags in black and white is an oddly nice idea, somehow very appropriate.

Not exactly quayside, but is it hanging over the GPO by any chance?:D

kona · 23-07-2006 10:42PM

cyclogical on they quays near the hapenny bridge advertising hope disc brakes:p

JaysusMacfeck · 23-07-2006 10:48PM

Rip the fecker down and throw it back over the border.

On a more serious note, I wonder what would happen if (for whatever reason) they stuck a huge Union Jack up on the GPO. Would the general public kick up a fuss?

InFront · 23-07-2006 10:49PM

Yes... and shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Actually, the Union Jack did fly over the GPO a few years ago. It is a standard protocol when representatives of postal services from other countries visit. There was such a delegation over here at the time. It was mentioned because of the novelty of it, but there was no great fuss about it.

JaysusMacfeck · 24-07-2006 12:53AM

Novelty?

Hagar · 24-07-2006 05:07AM

Newcastle United fans sometimes use a b&w variant of the Union Jack.
There is also a green, white and red version used somewhere on the continent, Bretons (not Gwann ah Du) or Basques I think.

There was loads of countries flags in black and white on the flag poles down the quays a while ago, have they put them back up again for some reason?
