Flags of our Country?

How long have we had the little flags beside our names, in the left information box and Avatar area?
Great idea, but never noticed before.

I think it was just today since it wasnt there yesterday.

Just added it a couple of hours ago... very observant :D

Skye...You change your last name?

Yeah, well, shuffled the order around. Skye Nott has a nicer ring.

Very nice touch and very much appreciated.

Poirier is a hard name to say and spell once you get out the of the 'vast sphere of influence the Quebecois hold' :)

Locally there is 2/3rds of an entire column in the phone book of Poiriers. Currently we are under the protection of the US but every summer the Quebecois still invade our beaches :)

One of the reasons being I got tired of getting "Poier" mistaken for "Poirier" ... its not French actually it was some sort of weird anglicized Austrian-Russian name.

Of course now I have to put up with "Knott"...

See! even I got it messed up :)
Ya gotta stop by more often so we wont make the same mistake :)

... and I wanted to see the Aussie flag next to my name.

They put the wrong flag beside my name, here's the proper one. :)

Thanks for waking me up.

The South Shall Rise Again

Are you guys planning another revolution with the north?
Guess the UN will need to step in and provide a demilitarized zone. LOL
I hope that CNN and FOX carry live coverage!!

My paternal ancestors came to this country now called 'Canada', from Ireland, around 1790-1810. We then had to endure confederation in 1867, and worst of all, that 'horrible' flag the Liberals chose for this newly named country back in the 1960's or so.

All of this happened, of course, without anyone asking me.

Can I have the Irish flag beside my name? But, as my family moved there from England in the 1640's, maybe I should have the Union Jack (my mother's family came from there also)? Or maybe the Scottish flag, as my wife's grandmother was from there? Oh, come to think of it, my father-in-law was from the U.S., but his family came from England in the 1600's.

Decisions, decisions. :-)

If you family moved to Ireland from England in 1640 it would not be the Union Jack which was not completed until later..

ERic, should that not be the Boxing Kangaroo next to your name??

Hmm, more research needed into flags, I guess. I enjoy genealogy/family history. I've gone back as far (tentatively) as Cromwell's invasion of Ireland in the 1600's.
