Is it jersey?

From your clue it must be special as its the only sea fortress or something? As most country's have defences on the coast, such as Dover, Normandy etc.

It was built during the 2nd world war. It doesn't belong to Jersey.....

And I don't think it will appear on any list of flags....

it actually was on wikipedias list of flags (twice in fact) but i wouldn't advise looking as it answers the Cardinal's question.

to be honest, it wasn't much of a question in the first place, more of a "this is interesting" type thing.

the "place" in question is called Sealand. It is a micronation, and has its own monarch, currency and passport control. Some crackpot guy claimed it after the military abandoned it. It has had quite a colourful history.

Anybody who wants to fire in can take the next question.

GAAHHH I KNEW THAT.

Damn you CR and DAMN your alluring new symbols in your name.

That was my big chance to break into the Quiz forum.

I could have been a contender.

I COULD HAVE BEEN A PLAYA

Well perhaps if you visited this forum a little more often than the Wizard's sleeve forum, you might have had a chance to get it right.

Right... which offensive and controversial song only has 8 words in its lyircs .. and precisely, what are those 8 words?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 10:39 am

mr blobby is very offensive and i think there is only two words in that.

Blobby, oh Mr Blobby. Oh, only you can make us understand....

Blobby, oh Mr Blobby, your influence will spread throughout the land

Try again, UP![/i]

i'm too fragile to listen to vulgar music, except that one called i don't want you back which i actually quite like.

my nearest guess would be roxanne but i think that has ten words at least.

as for knowing the words to mr blobby, i worry for you.

It isn't really vulgar (e.g. Alice Alice Who The Funk Is Alice), but some people might find it offensive. You'll definitely know the song, as it's never off the radio.

Roxanne has hundreds of words in its lyrics.

This song has the same 8 words repeated ad nauseam.

i predict a riot?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 11:05 am

Neither offensive nor controversial, and it has a lot more than 8 words in it.

The video was quite controversial too.....

Damn, I know this, but I'm due out for the rest of the day!

It's Smack My Bitch Up by The Prodigy: "Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up". The vid is the one with the lout-who-turns-out-to-be-a-girl.

Again, if I'm right, anyone ask the next question please!

Bang on Weyland... do you want to ask the next question UP?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 11:20 am

i have a feeling i won't know this.
