Re: t:title"sing for england" """100TH"""

Put together well , well done

just two bits of critisism from me on it and that is you have "carry the union jack"
The union jack is only flown at sea, when it is not at sea it is called the uniion flag or flag of the union.
Also The union flag is British not englaish, you are after all singing about england.

I like your other songs better,lol.

I was alsways told as a boy " if ye have nothing good to say then keep quiet"
Really good advice and I should listen to myself sometimes.

ye get some that are cut out for the job and others just get by from pretending

Re: t:title"sing for england" """100TH"""

Hi Daddycool,
Holy god the powers that be sent a turkey from here for Eurovision.
Needless to say he got nowhere. We are good a lots of things but, turkeys should be stuffed and roasted not sent to singing competitions.

Re: t:title"sing for england" """100TH"""

Congratulations on reaching your century Daddycool,

Ken's comments about the flag got me curious so, being nosey, I have done a little investigating. Wikipedia states:

"Whether to use "Union Flag" or "Union Jack" is a matter of debate. One view is that "Union Jack" should be used only for the flag when it is flown as a jack (a small flag flown at the bow of a ship), but it is not universally accepted that the "Jack" of "Union Jack" is a reference to such a jack flag and is only an educated guess............"

So I guess either Union Flag or Union Jack is OK.

Further it shows that the 'Ensign' (whether Red, Blue, White or Green) is the flag flown at the stern of a ship.

However the Union Flag/Jack is most certainly British and not English so I would claim poetic licence on that one Daddycool. lol

Nice song and it is good to promote a bit of discussion.
