There's a fun new feature in [Skype 2.5](http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windows/) that got out just in time for the World Cup's hotter games. Just enter (flag:xx) into a chat message, where XX is a [two-letter ISO country code](http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/list-en1.html), and you'll get the image of that country's flag.
Hey, it even works in chat topics. So if you have an ongoing multichat with your friends, you can keep it up-to-date with results of the game du jour.

Excellent work, just a comment though: England won Trinidad and Tobago 2:0, not the UK. Easy mistake to make, but explain it to a Scot (I am not a Scot)

Looks like there are no ISO codes for England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland - whoops - this needs sorting in time for the Rugby Union World Cup next year.
PS We'll need an Ireland icon as the whole island is represented.

It would be nice to be able to put this in the status bar.
