If you were able to do that without pausing that is very impressive =d>


I'd say having a chart with all the flags of the world on our fridge when I was young helped a lot :lol: Also I think as football fans we are better than most at these sorts of things like flags of the world, capital cities etc, as we're exposed to it a lot through football.

I got St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia and Guinea. It was the African flags that all looked similar that stumped me. I did revert back to what I remembered from FM quite a bit. I got Brunei, Mayanmar and Guam wrong off the top of my head.

If Scotland goes, the uk should replace the blue of Scotland with the green of wales (and Australia should ditch the butchers apron from it's flag all together.

No it's not. Fuck off the Union Jack and hurry up about it.

Read up on Australian Flag history and then make an informed statement about whether to keep it or not.

These will help.

Too similar to the Solomon Islands flag for my liking. The SI flag is a good one but if Australia is going to change I'd prefer something more unique

This

Imperialism's over, Australia's nae a fucking colony anymore and independence as a nation should extend to the flag.

I've always liked the ACT flag, think it would be a good template for a new Australian one as it's quite neat, keeps the blue and southern cross from the current flag and adds in gold.

Don't exactly know what to replace the ACT Coat of Arms with.

Yeah, make a flag for people who constitute less than a percent of the population purely for the purposes of political connectedness. :roll:

Keep the flag, but change the union jack to whatever Britain changes it too.
