Anyone else making their own flag, we've done it a couple of times now, really good fun and helps you get in the mood. Also, as I'm not into regionalism/tribalism, it's a much better way for me than those mass produced 'county'/regional flags or a clcihed skull & crossbones

I'm the least artistic person in the world, but a computer makes it dead easy to do it, bit of material and paint/markers, the PosteRazor thing of the internet and wallop, you're away.

Do you trace it then? I was tempted last year but in the end I didn't! I'd quite like like to make a camp flag I think..for our one tent:P

Pics of results of said method?

It is something that has honestly never occurred to me. Mind you I do have a tent that looks like a tortoise.

yeah, you print it out on about 8 pieces of A4, blutac them to the table, then put your flag material over the top and trace it with those big markers.

I was going to try stencilling this year but worry that I'll just end up spraying everything in the f**king kitchen

We are about to start stencilling the flag, after agreeing on a design. We attach the flag to a flag pole and leave it by the tent, so we can find it again! The last two years we have had the goonies and teenage mutant hero turtles! Great fun, and starts the practical glasto excitement nice and early!

The secret with stencilling and spray paint, is distance. Avoid being close enough that the pressure drives the paint into the fabric -- and potentially under the stencil. Lay the flag flat, and spray so that the paint droplets settle gently onto the fabric. Let it dry, and repeat until you have the depth of colour you want.

Flags for tents - excellent. Flags for front of crowd at stage - not so much so.

      Football (World Cup 26)

      By charlierc · Posted

      Brazil's first half was genuinely dreadful all round, not just the midfield, so they're absolutely not bulletproof. Whether Scotland have the quality to take advantage is a different question.   Tbf, that's as much on Morocco looking good, which I did think was a possibility. They could be a bit annoyed with themselves not to have scored more before Vini's goal tbh.

      Surely nowadays with so much data analytics available on every division in world football and so much awareness that people aren't suckered in on the basis of a decent World Cup game... right?   Although tbf, from what I saw, Australia's game plan worked very well. But that was as much thanks to Turkey blowing varying opportunities given they created enough chances but couldn't finish, a la what happened with Switzerland against Qatar when they really could and should've won by 3/4 goals.

      I missed Viagra Boys for a good spot for Gorillaz. Was a nice weekend and festival for me. Would definitely come back, if the line up is right. Get back home safe everyone.

      The Last Temptation - new Heaven 17 documentary film directed by James Strong. Premiered at Sheffield Docfest this weekend.    I really enjoyed it. Affectionate, insightful, and honest. A nice mix of archival and footage, interviews and clips from the last tour. Martyn and Glenn are like an old married couple.   Plus a snippet of news from the Q&A, Martyn is recording new BEF material, and Phil Oakey has collaborated on the one of tracks. The film shows them meeting in Fagans for the first time in over 35 years.
