Not cheap though, I'll see how far I get before another hurdle pops up.

Thats for another country and not ULSTER.

It looks like it also has Ulster at least until 1921 and presumably still has the 3 Ulster counties not in the North....

So scotlands england.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

the whole of the island of Ireland north and south is a special place, only politics and religion get in the way of that, and perhaps always will.

But that's the perspective of an English man so don't shoot me.

 

[Boris7]

So scotlands england.

No both England and Scotland are Wales

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Nah!!!!, not having that malarky

 

[Biggarmac]

No Scotland is sometimes called North Britain. As in the long renamed North British Hotel in Edinburgh.

And the Vikings ruled most of Scotland and Ireland, so we are we Scandinavian or Celts, and the English are French, getting complicated now.

English are mostly Angles and Saxons methinks....as in Sassenach. Can't remember the Irish equivalent....

My grandfather fought in the First World War Tim. He was a member of the Dublin fusiliers sent to Gallipoli. My dad was just a toddler then. But when my grandfather got home after being shot in the leg, and almost losing it. He was treated terribly by his own country. Something the Irish government only quite recently apologised for. They decided to move to Scotland and the rest is history.

Their is a very moving song about gallipoli called ,the band played walsing matilda by Eric Bogle, on , you tube

The story of the Dublin Fusiliers is a sad one tbh, they were treated badly by both London (who treated them as canon fodder) and Dublin (who saw them a mercenaries)

They were underdone by the Easter uprisings which pretty much left them in no man’s land (pardon the pun)

Some day it will be all fixed once we get rid of the brainwashed numbskulls on this Island who live in the past, time to move forward, there are bigger things to be looking at, merry xmas folks.

I keep shilly-shallying over getting my Estonian passport sorted. It's a right faff having to go to the Embassy in that London.
However, as an Estonian citizen, it's my right, so I guess I'll just have to get off my backside and get it done!
