Flag-saluting is not one of my preferred ways to get my kids to show their love of country – particularly when they have to be bullied into it.
Some people, too, object to the bit in the top left hand corner, reminding us that we’re still an outpost of Empire, although I’d contend that we’re more an outpost of George’s empire than Liz’s.
Me, I can’t help but love living in a country that has a bird called the Spangled Drongo.
Spangled Drongo for national symbol!

That’s because Tripod (as with Geocities etc.)doesn’t allow direct linking (‘hot-linking’)of pictures off their servers.
Warning:- gratuitous advice follows. Save the pic to your computer and use this quick and dirty service that will allow you to hot-link. No sign up or any of that balderdash.

This is it … you just need to bang the 2 > doovers around it.
