Re: Official Y&B Off-Topic Thread
Seems to be quite a bit of Canadian support for the flag.
. . . mayors of Vancouver and its neighbouring city Surrey had both offered to fly the flag if the Australian team are forced to take it down.

Re: Official Y&B Off-Topic Thread
Well on the Joooleeeya geelard call to defy the Olympic Committee rule that says only national flags can be flown, is she gonna be cool with us defying any of her govt. laws that we find ridiculous, biased or downright unfair ? I got a personal beef with some family law ones myself, i'm sure that would end in truncheons and mace.

There's a line between being patriotic and being a bogan. I reckon that crosses it.

I don't mind what's on the flag but I don't think they're being very courteous.

What Jase said
All four apartments are full of Aussies and they don't want prying eyes seeing what is going on inside

Re: Official Y&B Off-Topic Thread
Ned, not sure if its only me, or simply missed a post about it, but when I went to go into Experience I got the following error:
Not Found
The requested URL /forum/xperience.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Has Experience been taken off the site?

Re: Official Y&B Off-Topic Thread
I think I recalled a post about it, but my memory isn't too reliable. It is happening to me too.

Re: Official Y&B Off-Topic Thread
At least the Boxing Kangaroo is easily recognisable around the world as Australian.

Ha ha, you know, hopefully we don't get people coming to Australia saying things like, "Is it true? You have fighting Kangaroos?

Re: Official Y&B Off-Topic Thread
My point wasn't about the flag covering other balconies, it's the size of it. Even covering just one balcony is still a big flag. Big enough.
It's the sort of pompous display I'd more expect from the yanks.
