In this picture she looks exactly like Prince Charming from Shrek.

The missing button is the U.K.

We never wanted to leave it was a shit show even employers sending out emails to their staff how it would benefit them. The whole Scottish independence vote like a year or two before they would have voted otherwise if they knew what was coming. The farmers here in Wales or most of them through their magazines all jumped on the leave band-wagon.. oh no more subsidies to re-wild or planting work. Oh shame about that huh! Literally paid to do nothing.

I’ll never forget how I felt that morning I woke up and found out how the vote had gone.

[–] iamai@lemm.ee 3 points 12 hours ago

Gone in the favour of the few because they know European regulations would give workers Rights! .. Can't have that! But then they get so big they ship everything out of the country anyway look at Dyson. Why would you be born in a country, work in it, develop your product only to off-shore it. You never cared about anything but yourself and bottom line!

Not many flags make for stylish outfits.

I don't see what you're talking about

I feel like many of the horizontally-striped ones would make good T-shirts at least. Not necessarily stylish, of course, but nothing egregious.

Depends in the targeted level of abstraction. If you want to be able to fly your outfit from the flag pole, yeah, not a lot of flags can be styled as outfits, because most flags are stripes and (heraldic) ordinaries. However, if you're satisfied with matching colours, the fashion world is open to you. And there's a lot in between.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Just the colors is cheating. You could fly this woman and it would still be 80% to spec!

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Now I feel challenged. What about a black suit with a golden yellow shirt and a red tie for Belgium or red shirt with golden tie for Germany? Would that be representative enough? What about a red dress and a green cape over the right shoulder fixed with a golden brouche, would that be Portugal enough? For UK I think of a blue suit jacket with red and white striped lapels.

There's no way you can pull off a stylish Union jack outfit.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 4 points 16 hours ago

Spice Girls, about 1997ish?

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 2 points 21 hours ago

Put it on a kilt. Just don't tell the Scots

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

blue suit, white shirt, red tie with single white stripe

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

If it's just about wearing the colors, that's trivial

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

it's at least gotta be evocative

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 21 hours ago

Na, that's just lazy.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 4 points 23 hours ago

We should try it just to be sure

Damn, that jacket is stately. I'd follow just the jacket into war.

[–] Rokin@lemm.ee 5 points 22 hours ago

Looking sharp!
