As fabulous as Jess Ennis' bum is,

[Red Light]

Was in the stadium right up close tonight when she won the gold and then did a lap of honour. Fantastic stuff and on the home straight the crowd noise was making my ears ring.

Pardon my ignorance, but how can you tell?

Be sure that the larger white stripe is above the thin red strip in the top left hand corner when you face the flag.
other pointless but interesting facts are that you are only supposed to refer to it as the union jack if you have served in hrh navy, if you have not you should refer to it as the union flag.
Flying the union flag upside down is a sign of distress and request for assistence.
The union flag should never be permitted to touch the ground.

I would agree to an extent, the Union Jack is when the Union Flag is flying on the Jack mast of a ship however saying the Union flag or the Union Jack is acceptable and is recognised in both law and by the monarchy.

Don't care which way the flag flys aslong as it flys....no other comment due to my perverted mind and jokes about Ennis elbow

Nor any flag, as its a mark of disrespect.

Although the term is recognized by law, its origions of naming come back to Charles 2 who proclaimed that only the ships of the royal navy should fly the union flag as a jack on the bowsprit; the term jack once meant small. Since this time the royal household have refered to the union flag as just that, the only members of the royal house hold which do otherwise are those who have served in the royal navy.. I like tradition more than laws. Our country has some stupid laws.. but your point is valid and fair

 

[classic33]

Why? Has Google stopped working for you? I've not doubt some pre-pubescent will... oh, there's one here already. (Not you, Classic33, but the person who had the imagination to put Ennis bum in to Google but can't work out how to post the image).

Any of these ones?

Charles I's tinkering got him into quite a bit of trouble. Just imagine if us inland folk still didn't have to pay for the royal navy .

Looks like I've been out done
Interesting stuff, I agree traditions are better then law and so I normally refer to it as the Union flag although I didn't know that the Union Jack was only for members of HM Royal Navy. I always thought (as suggested by my previous post) that it was for the Jack mast.

The jack came before the jack mast. It's not so much traditions as ^^ says as stuff James I/Charles I/Blake (and to an extent Charles II wrt to other stuff) made up in the 17th century.

My Facebook isn't logged in. Apparently if I want to "connect with Jessica Ennis' Bum" then I need to sign in. Seems like a fair deal to me.

Discussion about Union Jacks seems incongruous in a thread about Jessica Ennis's bum, and should be taken off.
So that's Jacking off, Jessica 's bum.

Jessica Ennis' Bum isn't an all-encompassing subject. It's like there is something missing. The only thing to do is the fill the hole.
