Awesome, thanks! Glad to hear I was able to do alright on that one, I always doubt my abilities at taking it by ear.

I was in fact wondering what the hell that word was... the name of the school. No wonder I couldn't find anything remotely appropriate in my dictionary!

That gives me the confidence to put it in subtitle form, I'm on it! Just finished dinner at 17h58... first meal I ate all day. I've been too excited, and glued to my headphones. Was wondering why my stomach hurt until I thought about it :-P

It is the emblem of the Corsican independance movement (possibly it is a more general symbol of Corsica).

Here's the actual flag of Corsica:

And a bit of history about it:

The Testa di Moru, the black Moor's head on a white background forms the national flag of Corsica. The Moor's head with a white bandeau was adopted by Pasquale Paoli in 1762 as the official emblem of independent Corsica. It was inherited from the kings of Aragon, who were invested with Corsica by the Pope in the Middle Ages. Four Moors heads became the arms of Sardinia after the Aragonese conquest and, with a cross of St George separating them, they remain the national flag of the neighbouring island. The Aragonese never conquered Corsica, but they claimed it as their own. It first appeared in Corsica in 1573 in an atlas showing the lands of Philip II.

The bandeau originally blindfolded the eyes of the Moor, while it is now raised to his forehead. There are those who see its removal as a symbol of freedom from slavery. There are others, who claim that it dates from the time of the Saracen invasions and the Corsicans' habit of decapitating the moors. King Theodore, who also made use of this symbol in 1736, strangely had the bandeau covering the eyes.

When Sir Gilbert Elliot was created Baron Minto, after his two years as Viceroy of Corsica [1794-96], he included the Moor's head on his personal coat of arms. If you want to buy a Corsican flag, go to Corsica Shop (and look under the heading 'various Corsican objects'!). For an interesting article on the flag's origins go to Accademia Corsa.
