"It all began in school. It was probaly when I was about 6, maybe less, and still not sure what I wanted to do with my life, but I loved to sing and one day I was singing along with my hairbrush in my hand dressed in my mother's clothes and high heels, with her lipstick and whipped cream all over my face when she came home from church unexpectedly, so I was "

The Union Flag is normally twice as long as it is wide, a ratio of 1:2. In the United Kingdom land flags are normally a ratio of 3:5; the Union flag can also be made in this shape, but is 1:2 for most purposes. Flags that have the Union Flag in the canton should always be 1:2 to preserve the square fly area.[clarification needed]

The three component crosses that make up the Union Flag are sized as follows:

  • The red St. George's Cross width is 1/5 of the flag's height with a 1/15 flag height fimbriation
  • The white diagonal St. Andrew's Cross width is 1/15 of the flag's height and the broader white diagonal's width is 1/30 of the flag's height
  • The red diagonal St. Patrick's Cross width is 1/15 of the flag's height and the narrow white diagonal's width is 1/30 of the flag's height

George Cross  "... acts of the greatest heroism or of the most conspicuous courage in circumstances of extreme danger."

St George's Cross (or the Cross of St George) is a red cross on a white background used as a symbolic reference to Saint George. The red cross on white was associated with St George from medieval times.

St George's Cross has been adopted on the coat of arms and flags of several countries and cities which have St George as a patron saint, notably Georgia, England, Aragon, Greece, Genoa and Barcelona.

 A saltire, or Saint Andrew's Cross, is a heraldic symbol in the form of a diagonal cross or letter x. Saint Andrew is said to have been martyred on such a cross. In the Russian Orthodox tradition, the phrase Saint Andrew's Cross is often equated with the Orthodox cross, because of the tradition that Saint Andrew used such a cross when preaching in the respective regions. The Saltire design is however distinct from that of the Orthodox Cross.

 Saint Patrick's Saltire or Saint Patrick's Cross (Irish: Cros Phádraig) is a red saltire (X-shaped cross) on a white field. In heraldic language, it may be blazoned Argent, a saltire gules. Saint Patrick's Flag (Bratach Phádraig) is a flag composed of Saint Patrick's Saltire














































































 

 Re: Should the Grass Season be longer???

country flag chingching  There are many places they could put grass tournaments. France, Germany, Netherlands, Eastern Europe and I know theyre far away but Australia and America all have plenty

country flag jimbo mack  Can't see happening in our lifetime although I would love for it to happen

country flag Corswandt  The main problem with the grasscourt "season" consisting of 2 (two) weeks other than Wimbledon is that we now have a Grand Slam that is played in what is to all intents and purposes a novelty surface, in which few players even know how to move in.

country flag MaSharp  Another 2 or 3 weeks on grass would be perfect. =)

Only the best.

country flag LoveFifteen  Yes, it definitely should be longer. It's absurd how many times the Roland Garros winners have to pull out of their only grass warm-up before Wimbledon. It's lame.

country flag SymphonyX  I think they should keep it the way it is. The "surface shock" of transitioning from clay to grass in a very short period is a challenge to the players.

Winning junior Wimbledon means absolutely jack when it comes to the main tour. Wozniacki won it, come on. Can you honestly see either of them winning wimbledon with those ridiculous serves?

country flag Irute  I would agree with you if junior champ was her only achievement on the grass but as I stated in my post there is more. I am far from saying that she is great on grass, but she is certainly not someone people should count out, because they may be as surprised as in Miami.

Back to topic, grass is great. If they can create a few more exciting tournaments I am for it.

country flag JJohnyTheSaviOuR  Why not? 2 weeks and one big Premier event would be good.

country flag John.  Yes, Yes, a thousand times, Yes!

country flag jedw  This x 1000

Seriously, who doesn't have grass? Is it a rare plant outside england or somthing?

This year the grass season is going to be longer and hopefully will show to them that we do deserve more tennis on grass.
On the contrary. I recall reading last year that Wimbledon and RG would be willing to change their dates by a week to accomidate a longer grass court season. Seems funny to believe of Wimbledon, but true.

country flag Kismet  Absolutely yes! By maybe 1-2 more weeks.

country flag Polikarpov  Miss Pironkova would love that.

country flag Joe.  I think everyone would be suprised at just how many grass court facilities there are in the UK. In Sussex alone there are plenty of Facilities which have several Grass Courts- For example my club, West Worthing Tennis Club has 9 grass courts of a decent quality. It's not that there's a shortage, it just has a lot to do with the weather in europe- i'd love a longer grass season but anymore than 1 week longer and I don't think it would work.





Superstars

He contact me later. Where you been baby, I'm asking him? Droopy mouse syndrome, he tell me. What you been doing? You wore it out, I ask him. No I think it could either be a virus or a piece of malware, he say. I try to point mouse arrow to top of screen, but it run down in a big arc, being useless. I know what you mean. I say. I may have to use the arrows. Arrows. I say, I didn't even see any indians. Good one gaga.

He is happy again to hear my voice. What else you been up to baby, I'm finding out. I've taken out a patent on the flag, he is saying. Which flag, the Stars and Stripes? No, well not the stripes, just the stars if they are five pointed martial arts throwing stars. Show me, I demand. I'm not accurate, he is telling me. I can show you a picture. My Shaolin Monestry friends are practicing. I'll show you when they get here. Okay., I agree. I own the Union Jack, and I'm selling copies in silk for a thousand pounds a copy., he said. 

Why does the St Patrick's Cross not cross in the middle, I ask him? I believe God did that to preserve my copyright, he tells me. Are you sure? I've drawn enough of them, so I know what a cross is, he say. It is only the Irish who think a cross turned on its side is a different thing. And you believe you own the red cross? I own all the cross design, he say, because Christ died on the cross. There were no crosses before Jesus, then, I asked? I'm sure cavemen had crosses, he tells me. How else would they show a map, You have to go between two points, and the most direct way is in a straight line. Where paths cross are called crossroads. That's an interesting way of looking at it, I said. No need to be sarcastic, he replied. Sorry, I admitted. When you say, no crosses before Jesus, he asked. Yes? Are you saying you don't believe there is a God? No I believe in God, I told him. How many Gods he asked? One God I said. Not God and Satan? 

Yes I believe that satan is an evil God. And you believe that God is a woman deity? How do you know? I have a picture of her and me, in Japan, and her name is Harmony, Tranquility and Justice, and she rains on the flowers I created for her. By genetic engineering, I asked?   Yes, he said. Where? Somewhere in space, in a proper labratory, well ahead of anything we have on earth, but somewhere in the solar system.         

On planet Pluto, you told me, I asked? Yes, he said. Why? So that I can say I own them, and thereby exert a property right, and prevent others from genetically modifying them. And why is that important?  Because, he say, if you had been to many other planets, as I have, and

seen first hand some of the disasters people have created by trying to meddle in genetic coding, you would see the potential for huge disaster. 

When you do this, I ask he. Not in the last 2,000 years, he say. Before that. How old are you?

Everything, he say. Anything you didn't genetically engineer, I ask? Coffee, possibly, I don't remember every second. Who does, I say. God, he say. He have a very dry sense of humour, I think. Did you know, he ask, that different animals even taste different thing, when they taste the same thing? Honey and nectar, to a bee taste good, he say. But to a lion, blood tase good, and bad to a bee.

I ask? I created the first humans, Adam and Eve, he say, and I created you? Created, I ask? Your eye colour, the position of your eye brows, your clitoris.

I get, I said. The bee will make honey from the flower of the Beech tree, and it will taste like Golden Syrup to us. And a mint truffle, I ask? How will that taste? Like whisky, he say.

But what I don't get, I said, is the Jesus thing. I know, he said. It doesn't matter. How do you know, I asked. Night vision, he said. No I shouldn't do that, it is like throwing a rock into tranquil pool of the discussion, isn't it, he said. If you knew me you would know how often I do that. What? Make an unfunny joke at inappropriate times.Oh, I said. I know that you don't really believe that I am/was ever Jesus, because if you truly believed

could be, not the imperfect you you are. 

that, you would be here right now with me, because you would know how much I love you, and that when I say I think I know you, I mean I know the you you 

John 15:13

You want to know what I think love is, he said. It is unquestioning devotion to duty, for no reward what so ever. It is not about two people being "in love", in other words fulfilling each other's emotional needs, because after all, emotions are a luxury, after the basic needs of survival have been met. People protect each other. That is love. No greater love has anyone than this: that they sacrifice their own precious life to save another. It is what the bible says. This is what WWII was about. Think of me as someone who loves you unconditionally.

How to throw a five pointed star.

Sometimes God will take a hand, and fix things, or just walk right over the top of nature. What do you think are the real chances that all genes in a seed will remain undamaged after spending all summer in the sun, and exposed to cosmic rays? We needn't worry.

That  is why I am going to give you £700,000,000, with no strings attached. I'm going to ask you to help me, using your position, but if you can't, or don't want to, it will not matter to me. Just think of me as somebody you went to school with, who was smarter than you, who did better than you, but who did something different. That is why I can say, I have been "dead" for 2,000 years. Hiroshima took longer that you think. Do you mean the atomic bomb, I asked?  Halley's comet returns every 76 years, he said. Regular as clockwork. Have you seen it? No, I haven't I confessed. That doesn't mean it hasn't appeared though, does it. It a matter of opinion, he say.

How do you explain evolution then, I ask? Don't you believe in it? Yes evolution is a fact he say. You select two parents, and their genes are passed on to offspring. Some are dominant, like black hair over blonde hair. Some are random. It all comes from the genes. Sometimes a gene will be damaged, and changed, but still work.

The bee will make honey from the flower of the Beech tree, and it will taste like Golden Syrup to us.

Do you see that I am but a child compared to her, and that her name for me is Jesus, and she told me that her name is God, and HE is almighty, that there is no other God, and Satan does not exist. This I deduced myself, and bet on. Everything in the universe is created by God.

Do you do anything else, when you are at home, I asked him? Yes, being alone, if I want to create a symphonic selection, I have to play each instrument then mix them together. I also have to write the music and make the instruments. There is plenty to do. Now we have the whole botanical world on earth to explore, if we can save it from global warming, genetic engineering and nuckear waste contaminatoin. Yes, I replied, and the internet is opening up too.
