Harmony of nations
It's amazing what you can put your mind to when you are trying to write a 6,000 word paper -i.e. anything but writing the paper. To be fair, I was ill yesterday and still feel below par today, so writing semi-academic work is probably beyond me anyway. But I shall not feel guilty, for the last hour of my life has been far from wasted. I proudly unveil to ye all: the UKrainian Jack. I wonder what Olga will say...

Hmmm...
You know I was going to get all anoraky about this but here goes.
1st.. Yellow on white is a strict heraldic no-no. They both represent metals (silver and gold) and aren't allowed to meet as they aren't distinguished enough from a distance.

2nd.. Look at a correct Union Jack and you wil see that the crosses of Scotland and Ireland are counter-changed acknowledging Scotland's superiority over the Irish by joining the Union first. You have 'willfully' chosen to ignore this. Amateurish frankly.
3rd.. Very pretty though.
4th.. I am a complete knob who knows far too much about this sort of thing.

These lovely sites are available should you want to be as big a bore as I am.
Ok I was in awe of duncan and now I am in awe of you. As in, you are both awful.
As was that pun.
More importantly, what did Olga have to say about it?
