I pointed the Jack/Flag issue out to someone who called it a Union Jack while being snotty towards Americans. He said "actually, that's not the issue, but people who think it is are so quick to point it out because they THINK they know what they're talking about!!!!" and I was like "...um, it was told me by a commander in the Royal Navy. STFU."

John Simm is in Life on Mars, yes? If that is the case, then I must needs see it now. I'm a little bit in love with him.
