Ensign?

Sweep stake anyone?

I'm betting 300 posts by the end of the week...

Flags are obviously the new anchor. But no letting live allowed.

It’s not just Scottish ones. Curiously a blue one is also red rag to a bull. Only here though, nobody takes the blindest bit of notice on the water.

You could be correct, interest doesn't seem to be flagging....

Surely you are just waving in the wind on that one.

 

[Fr J Hackett]

Nah he's in a bit of a flap.

Not at all, I'm prepared to nail my colours to the mast.

He wears it well though

 

[veshengro]

Arrgh! Don't say wears, you'll start 'em off again.

I have seen that happen to an ensign, from the deck of the saluted vessel. No offence was taken, but we did laugh.

If I was to fly an ensign from the stern of my sports cruiser which is 37 ft what size would be acceptable?

A small anecdote……

And another.. on one very breezy day on the Solent we picked plucked from the oggin an ensign staff along with the club ensign for the RAFYC. Initially we joked that the skipper would keep it in case he ever ran aground and would hoist it in place of his own ensign.

In the event of course he did the decent thing and returned it to their clubhouse.

I know that that same skipper is on this forum and may well comment further!

Very vexing.

Very vexing.

I fear someone will eventually be hoist by their own petard.
