Fellow HWA peoples,

I would like you to please sign my petition with regards to having a Scottish
flag beside my name. No offence to the England/Wales people. But I would like
to have my own countries FLAG beside my name here on HWA. I get this everywhere
else I am a member of, and in games. Why not in here.

I am patriotic of my country, just like you. And therefore I feel I deserve the right
to have my Scottish next to my name because:

Scotland is an Independent Country.
It has its own Government.
It has it's on constituency
and last but not least IT DOES HAVE IT'S OWN FLAG.

I have asked in the past, long ago, and was rejected because everyone will
ask for their countries own independent flag. I can't think of any other, apart from UK
where there are 3 borders.

1: Scotland
2: England
3: Wales

I think I have a strong case to get my flag beside my name, and not have every member
on HWA thinking I am from England. The Union jack represents what the UK
once was not what it is now. (No Pun intended to anyone in England)

Regards

TamTheBam - Och aye the nooo

I agree totally, and TBH if I did not have an Irish flag I would not have registered here. I mean why ask peeps to register and offer the service if they do not have the flag....its not like you live is Vatican City or some s**t.

I would be more then happy for you to use the IRISH FLAG. ;)

COMPUTERS ARE NOT JUST MY LIFE...THEY ARE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THEN THAT.
GO SELL CRAZY SOMEWHERE ELSE....WE'RE ALL STOCKED UP HERE!!!!!!

I've got some Scottish in my lineage somewhere, but I'd be for this even if that weren't the case.

Signed.

I feel the same as you about having a Welsh flag mate, the Welsh are extremely patriotic (especially when it comes to rugby), I personally think that the Union Jack is outdated, noone thinks of themselves as British.

Besides, the Scottish flag has two of my four favourite colours.

And that's my point. A strong valid point too! Thanks for commenting on this.
I know of one other Scotsman on here, Ecosse. Where are you Ecosse?? lol

That's because you stay in England Dave! :P
Scotland's been independant for over 10 years now. And it's its own country
I'm not saying I'm not British or don't want to be, but as I said, my country's
independent. And has it's own flag. I just want to have my flag by my name on
here. And the Welsh for the Welsh and the St. George for the English. How's that?

Until this point I thought you lived in England!

In the words of Mel Gibson portraying William Wallace:
It's all for nothing if you don't have freedom.


Out of topic but I'm curious. Are pikeys real? I just saw Snatch yesterday and there were pikeys in it! They also spoke like leprechauns and it was funny to hear.

Lol! Yes Pikey's do exist. It's a negative term for Gypsies. Crusties/Travellers.
They are Southern Irish. You get traveller/Gypsies everywhere. UK, Europe, etc.
But I guess the Pikey's are probably the most famous ones lol.
Leprechauns don't exist. Oh wait hold on Plug's a Leprechaun. No wait a minute,
he's a Pikey. Lol. No wait he's both!

Pikey's = FACT.
Leprechaun = Fiction/Plug.

Those Pikey's you seen in Snatch do exist. Ever since Brad Pitt was involved in that film,
he's dressed like a Pikey ever since. In fact, out of movies, Brad still to this day, talks like
a Pikey.

Meats, on a final note.. I can confirm that Plug does indeed talk like a leprechaun.
And so so Dublin Gunner too! :P

FTR... I was born in Belfast. And brought up in Scotland. But I still want my flag. Lol
