That was stunning! I loved the click noises, it makes me think we should try something like this at UR! The guitarists here could form up and spin thier SG's, Les Pauls, Strat's etc while I mince around shouting at everyone.
Joking aside though, that was very good viewing.

PS Matt

Great to see you using the flag of a Palestinian saint in your avatar.

I hugely admire the discipline and teamwork ethos, that is instilled in the army. I think there is a similarity in the type of diligence it takes in being a good soldier, that there is in becoming a great musician too. Sheer discipline, devotion and tens of thousands worth of practice in getting something right. But the bravery element of course is not comparable; I don't like wars but I have real respect for troops.

it bothers me that you think it bothers me LOL Being a dick waving nationalist is quite different than being proud of your homeland. I raise a glass to all of our respective members from different parts of the world at UR. None of us should feel ashamed of where we are from, despite the pressure from the PC brigade that we should. 8)

I don't think you are just enjoy pointing out the fact that the patron saint of England is a Palestinian, I am proud of his nationality and the link that this creates between us and the Palestinians.

Well England is a very multicultural country :) It has always been like that and we have a lot of different blood in us all which is very interesting and great thing!
I know you home in on the Palestinian origin of the flag and St George, but to many including myself, this is of little no importance to what 21st century English people are celebrating by flying the flag. For me it is a celebration of modern England and simply being proud of being English :) It also is prominent in everything associated with the world cup campaign ;)

The english patron saint could be Julius Caesar or Merlin the magician, he could be from Iceland or Japan and it would make no difference.
