Re: The Portugal Saloon
Interesting theory Carv
Although if you read it again, you'll notice you too are using the us and him tactic. Whilst we all loved Punch n Judy as kids.... you two arguing is not as much fun, unless the Mods are willing to be the Crocodile.
Your x button being broken might be a sign from God to not mention Brexit
perhaps 'cut n pasting' an "x" might be a solution to your speech impediment [to cut use the CTRL button plus the x key then to paste use CTRL + V..... that should solve the issue.....]
It seems we're all in agreement that a "smoking room" is a good idea. Once we've agreed the name, we can spend the next 6 months deciding on the colour of the curtains.

Re: The Portugal Saloon
Does anyone know the reason for the number of stars on the federal state of Europe's flag?

A more appropriate suggestion is copy & paste (Ctrl-C and then Ctrl-V).

Re: The Portugal Saloon
it was a random geometrical design that someone thought fulfilled the requirement - it was originally used by the council of Europe as a way of symbolising Europe as a complete entity rather than its integral parts - and later by the EU - again to represent unity
The European flag symbolises both the European Union and, more broadly, the identity and unity of Europe.
It features a circle of 12 gold stars on a blue background. They stand for the ideals of unity, solidarity and harmony among the peoples of Europe.
The number of stars has nothing to do with the number of member countries, though the circle is a symbol of unity.
History of the European flag
The history of the flag goes back to 1955. The Council of Europe - which defends human rights and promotes European culture – chose the present design for its own use. In the years that followed, it encouraged the emerging European institutions to adopt the same flag.
In 1983, the European Parliament decided that the Communities’ flag should be that used by the Council of Europe. In 1985, it was adopted by all EU leaders as the official emblem of the European Communities, later to become the European Union. In addition, all European institutions now have their own emblems.

Re: The Portugal Saloon
another bresit bit of nonsense
the only federal state in Europe is Germany - it became so when it started to unify its component states into a federation - Prussia Saxony Baveria etc
i think i read somewhere that is was mainly due to the structure of Germany as a Federal Republic that is was possible to easily reintegrate East and West when the Berlin wall came down
i lived there - in two different states and can testify they very much keep their own independance and culture whilst at the same time are very proud to be German
A federal state in reality is a bit like a united kingdom - no bad thing if it stops you going to war with your neighbours
Federation - dictionary definition - a group of states with a central government but independence in internal affairs.
strangely exactly like the EU is organised - but not a single breksit would believe that
Actually i think austria must be a federal state as well - but im not certain

Re: The Portugal Saloon
I am very, very disappointed and may be forced to close this thread. If you ask me really nicely I will tell you why I have a problem. Open to bribes for the information.

Re: The Portugal Saloon
Glad to see that there is one brave soul willing to ask.
Everyone else seems to have run away and hid.
No, none of the things that you mentioned.

Re: The Portugal Saloon
is it because us trolls get fed up with mf - even here the first thing he tried was to control and trash this topic
second thing was to blame everyone who disagreed
its becoming a very boring repeat
he usually gets peter to complain immediately - hence the moderator - they really should go and get a room
