Flag this

Italy has won the FIFA World Cup 2006 - but is it really worth having an accident over? Looking out the bus window this morning, there were two very large flags - one held out of the sunroof of a car, the other affixed to the back of a motorbike. They were travelling in tandem. And it looked quite impressive while they were moving - less so when the car stopped at traffic lights and the flag which had been flying above the car fell forward and dropped over the windscreen! Two pairs of hands came out the sunroom and worked feverishly to gather the cloth and put it on the roof behind them, so it would once again stream behind the car as it took off. Well, it's one way to spend a morning - but you've got to think there has to be a safer way to celebrate!
