Hi from a Newbie

[Ocklepoint]

Greetings to all at Blue Moment

Beautiful day here in Edinburgh

Off up to Barcaldine to tinker with the boat at the weekend

Already looking forward to being back in the water next year

Cheers

Ocklepoint, that flag is not a legal ensign and can result in you getting hung for misplaced jingoistic nationalism

[Nick]

That's it Jim,

You're sacked as BlueMoment's official Newbie greeter . . . might have to give the job to Claymore (represses a shudder)

Welcome Ocklepoint . . . you can fly anything you want here.

[Ocklepoint]

Oh dear, more vexicological controversy; a touch of the other place perhaps.

Jingoistic, I think not, nationalistic, not necessarily, perhaps just aware of and comfortable with being a Scot.

Amongst the reams of such stuff regularly trotted out in another place I think I did see a post saying that our pre union flag may still actually be legal.

Anyway, legal or not, I think I may just risk the hanging and continue with the Scots Red, or I may just fly a Saltire.

Anyway, happy boating.

on the other hand if you were in fact comfortable with yer nashunallity ma wee loon, why the frig dae ye hae tae flaunt it?

\i'm a scot and proud of it but have no particular axe tae grind, anyroads each tae their ain

as, i think, dr johnston said, " the noblest prospect open to a scotchman is the high road to england "
you seem to have taken it -

[jim.r]

the three words above always seem to be associated with many taking the opportunity to destroy bridges rather than build on common ground .. pride in one's heritage and culture is qutie different from a pea brained assertion of national superiority .. all IMHO of course

.
I hope you don't have a chip on your shoulder about not having a chip on your shoulder.

[Silkie]

I've always thought of Jim as a very well balanced individual.

. a chip on both shoulders?

[Silkie]

Speed reading again Nick?

[jim.r]

Wedges , mate, wedges .. much healthier for you, partic with sour cream

[little boy blue]

The Scottish Red Ensign is available from MrFlag.com and a 18"x12" version cost you £15.75. it was used by the merchant fleet in Scotland until 1707 to quote this flag company "it is still used unofficially on the water by private citizens" whether you are breaking some minor rule I would'nt have the foggyist and if you are the rule probably came from Brussels.
