Thread: The Australian Flag

Any chance of a flag suggestion that doesnt look like ken done whipped it up?


I like our flag (you may have noticed that) as its also not garish or too bright (in my opinion) like some others....

Not a direct stab at you Stock, most of the suggestions I've seen are (in my opinion) very garish or will be very dated quickly... (ken done is a painter here that does very bright stuff!)
Imagine these new designs draped on a coffin of a fallen soldier for example, not really appropriate.. any flag needs to be imagined in this situation before any decision is made..

Never heard of Ken Done........went and looked him up .............now I'm offended I know I can't paint even have difficulty painting the property wall..... gave it up when I was a Nipper wasn't able to do it to any great skill but now after viewing some of Mr Done's work maybe I should have stayed at it .................as I know I can do better than that even with a yard brush...............

Never took any offence mate just as we'd say laying out my stall or so to speak.I am in the Emerald Isle and not just saying it .............but if things keep going as they are here I might be buying a boat to sail down as you lot won't let me in by plane and I'm told if I arrive in a leaky boat I'd be welcomed with open arms.................."to old to immigrate to young to retire"................

When you get here in your leaky boat, just throw your papers overboard and tell Immigration you're a Christian Afghani and fear for your life if you return to Kabul. As you know all Afghani Christians speak with an Irish accent because of all the Irish Catholic missionaries!
