This feels like ... dare I say it ... a consensus on flegs!!!
Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

Unfortunately as it contains the Cross of St Patrick, certain members of Sinn Fein will find it offensive.
Where can I buy one?

I thought that would be a no-bahraner.
Haven't seen it flying at Ravers yet Mike. Guess its a little large, but if you do bring it, draw a picture of Ecclestone on it with a circle and diagonal stripe through his head!!! Maybe draw a picture of the Al Khalifas mafia on it, shoving bucket loads of cash into his hand.
Looking forward to seeing it...

It's used as a cross community symbol in Downpatrick.

Didn't realise that.
Must say, I don't think I've ever seen that flag used to make a political point.

Used to be in it nearly every day but maybe things have changed since then.

It's the cross of St. Patrick and as such should offend no-one. Think the fleg with the Red hand on it looks superb.

Well whilst we are on the subject of flegs i thought i'd let u no that i will be down at the Red White & Blue shop (opposite Con Club on Lr N'ards Rd) tomorrow to see if their new stock of yella flegs has arrived & i'll purchase as many of them as i can. Still gonnna bring me 6 county Norn Iron fleg to Lansdowne Rd - hopefully to just ever so slightly irritate some of our more precious Messageboard members - wee group of 16 of us are in Block 136 (behind the posts at the "open" end, back row) if you want to try & spot us and be slightly offended/irritated or whatever.
