@Strathavenbear@Hugh_might@Erudite4Unity@David50408542@PaulDavoren1 Nope. Ireland is not one of the British Isles. I know quite a bit of geography. History too.
Ireland is not in the British Isles. You'll get over it.
You got over Britain not being on the shore of the German Ocean.
@johnpyne@Hugh_might@Erudite4Unity@David50408542@PaulDavoren1 I'm neither wrong nor plain wrong. The British Isles is not a geographic term, and we're not part of it.
Meantime, you'll go lecture all the British people calling the North Sea the North Sea and insist they all return to calling it its classical name.....The German Ocean.
@ChrisYndo@Hugh_might@Erudite4Unity It's not, as far as I know. Spike is impressive though. I was there in August, coincidentally.
The picture was, IIRC, taken in Collins Barracks. Not the name at the time, as you can imagine.
Similarly, Ireland is not in the British Isles.
@cookofthe7seas@oirdenide@Erudite4Unity That's hilarious. If Europe was called "Greater Germany" you might have a point. It isn't and you don't
Meantime, there's a higher percentage of British people in Ireland than vice versa
Ireland is not in the British Isles
You'll get over the loss. Oh, and the empire's gone
@TheBeerDrunker@Hugh_might@Erudite4Unity And no, this idea about the Cruithne in Ireland being the same as the Pretani in Britain is a nonsense.
But hey, yer man is a member of Reform or Restore or Reclaim or something, so what do you expect.
@TheBeerDrunker@Hugh_might@Erudite4Unity 2/2 And the Pretani didn't live in Ireland. There were Gaels in Ireland. Britons in Britain.
Ireland was not in the "British Isles" then either. The greeks were simply wrong.
@TheBeerDrunker@Hugh_might@Erudite4Unity The poor fella tried insult and blocked. And he ran.
Where Kearney's name originated is beside the point. He's English. From Liverpool.
And Ireland is not in the British Isles.
@TheBeerDrunker@Hugh_might@Erudite4Unity Oh sure. We're all in the human race. Absolutely.
Kearney is English.
And, indeed, a long overdue removal.
Ireland is not in the British Isles.
Here's another British historian. You're the residue he talks about.
@cookofthe7seas@oirdenide@Erudite4Unity Aaah. A Brexiteer. You guys are particularly dim.
Ireland is not in the British Isles
And the empire really is gone.
@cookofthe7seas@oirdenide@Erudite4Unity The British Isles is isles that are British. You saddos just can't get over the loss. Pretending "British" is a geographic word. Ye're pathetic.
Ireland is not in the British Isles.
