Not really as Slovenia and Slovakia (also Russia) are white, blue, red, with Serbia being red, blue, white

Was taking the colours into consideration not their order

If Green/white/blue , top to bottom, probably Sierra Leone
If Blue/white/green, probably Lesotho

Can't think of any others

kavah · « **Reply #246 on:** February 12, 2014, 08:31:47 am »

^ vertical stripes. There was no wind so you couldn't really see what was on the emblem.
(I googled it & thought it might be Yukon Territiories)

He needs one of an Alsatian's head with a cross through it. The noisy bastards never shut up at the police kennels on Mather Avenue.

Would be grateful if someone who knows how could post link piccies for me........

The corner flags this week (WHITE CURLING STRIPE ON A RED AND BLACK BACKGROUND) is the Official National MAORI flag. AKA "Tino rangatiratanga"

The main flag is the flag of Costa Rica.

The Maoris and Costa Ricans of Booker Avenue are ecstatic!

Nice one mate, I spent some time trying to find those in the week without success ....

goballoon · « **Reply #251 on:** March 7, 2014, 10:45:39 pm »

Thanks for doing flag pics John C. I am still rubbish at that. I drive past several times a week on my way to the Old Git gym on Lark Lane. Being retired means I have loadsa time to look up obscure flags. Wonder why he buys such little known flags.......maybe just to piss us all off!

only6times · « **Reply #252 on:** March 7, 2014, 10:52:16 pm »

I hope the only flag we never see is "Everton fc, cup winners"

I think we're safe not to be upset on that account mate. Not for the next 5 or 6 years anyway.

BREAKING NEWS.....New flag has appeared this week. The Costa Rican flag was in tatters like a bundle of ribbons. Latest main flag is the flag of Mexico. Green, white, red vertical stripes with an eagle in the centre with a snake in its beak and talons.

The corner Maori flags have gone and there are versions of union flags in their place.
Sorry can't post pic, but hope the above link works.

Flag Alert! New flag appeared this week. 2 horizontal stripes. White uppermost with pale blue underneath. Yellowish crest in the middle. Looks like San Marino.

Could be Cyprus: he's had that up in the past.

We went past today and my geographically proficient eleven year old speculated this was san Marino, he is normally awesome with flags but was not certain about it for once. However, it seems he was right judging by the above response.

New Flag Alert!
2 red and one yellow horizontal stripe with black bull in middle. It's the unofficial Spanish Flag. The bull is the Osborne Bull. It's used for sporting occasions esp by Spanish football team. Enrique, Moreno and Manquilo will be made up if they drive along Mather Ave/ Booker Ave.

I have a fairly random bunch of flags left over from the World Cup 2010. I got fed up of a neighbour painting the Ingerland flag across the front of their house so I put each of England's opponents up. Had to order quickly off ebay in the knockout stages but it did wind him up so job done. I wonder when I'll next need a Ghanaian flag in a hurry.

If Gobaloon is a 70 something who cuts the grass outside his house with a pair of scissors, then yes - we've got our man!

Got excited spotting this yesterday, only to discover I'm a month too late to win First Report On RAWK. Gutted.

I initially assumed it was a Barcelona tribute (post CL) but further googling suggests that Catalonians are anti-"Osborne Bull", even to the extent of vandalising incarnations of it.

This puzzlement seems fully in character with the enigmatic flag house. Long may it continue!

Big Red Richie · « **Reply #273 on:** March 11, 2018, 07:35:51 pm »

Don't know if the house has changed hands, or the council have got a grip of him, but I've been driving past his house on a regular basis, over the last six months, and the only flag on display these days, is the cross of St. George.

Looks like he doesn't have the previous three flagpoles either, just the one, right on the corner.

John C · « **Reply #274 on:** March 11, 2018, 07:56:09 pm »

Same car is always there Richie so I don't think it's changed owners.
