caoimhe on live feed last night

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Did anyone witness the conversation between her and john on live feed?

John asked if southern ireland was uk and she got very offended and was like "No i hate it when people say that, its not uk" I was actually quite offended and i dunno why.

I know theres alot of polotics and s h i t in ireland but i didnt think someone would feel that strongly about not wanting to be british and she got quite angry about it

I have a feeling she is gonna be hated

[GypsyGoth]

But the republic of ireland isn't part of the uk. She was right.

[arsenalforever]

But the republic of ireland isn't part of the uk. She was right.

this.

i would be offended too
she was right

[Boothy]

I get a bit offended when people call me British, even though I am. I prefer English.

But yeah, I'd definitely be annoyed if people called me British when I wasn't.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I know she was right i aint pissed off about that.

Its the way she said it she looked very angry and that just made me think "woah"

[daniel-lewis-1985]

why would you be offended lol he didnt call her british he asked politley and she snapped back. It was weird

She could have just explained it to him nicely

[GypsyGoth]

I think New Zealand people get a bit pissed if you call them Austrailian too.

[Stu]

Let's not go overboard. She didn't scream the house down. I saw it.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

i didnt say she screamed the house down.

And he didnt call her british he asked lets get that right

[arsenalforever]

Let's not go overboard. She didn't scream the house down. I saw it.

yeah, she seemed calm cause John was a aussie and ddin't know to mcuh about ti

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

why would you be offended because somebody was offended to be associated with great britain? good on her i say i hate patriotism.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

somebody doesnt like ireland

[arsenalforever]

why would you be offended because somebody was offended to be associated with great britain? good on her i say i hate patriotism.

Cause she's irish not British

[fruit_cake]

its not the UK, but shes quite happy to earn in ££££

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I was just a little offended that she felt so strongly about not wanting to be associated as being british like its a terrible thing lol

[daniel-lewis-1985]

haha @ fruitcake

exactly

[arsenalforever]

I was just a little offended that she felt so strongly about not wanting to be associated as being british like its a terrible thing lol

But she's not British

she comes from the Republic of ireland!!!!!

[arsenalforever]

its not the UK, but shes quite happy to earn in ££££

the **** your country put us through we deserve it

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I KNOW SHES NOT BRITISH!

But its the way she delivered what she said like she was digusted to be associated with us!

Your not getting what im saying

[Stu]

its not the UK, but shes quite happy to earn in ££££
Could you elaborate on that? Because from where I sit it makes no ****ing sense.
I was just a little offended that she felt so strongly about not wanting to be associated as being british like its a terrible thing lol
She never said it was a terrible thing. You are completely overreacting. She is just tired of people assuming she British, probably. I would be too.

[GodrestBB]

I think alot of people irish people get offended when people think they are British, i do simply because its not my nationality.

[arsenalforever]

I think alot of people irish people get offended when people think they are British, i do simply because its not my nationality.

too right i get offended
they live across the damn ocean and still think they own us

[daniel-lewis-1985]

arsenalforever! You have completely just backed up why i got offended

"They live across the ocean and still think the own us"

This was exactly what i was trying to say you obviously have issues with us it showed last night and its defo showing with you now.

Get a grip

[Jase]

I missed it :/

['Conor]

shes right though?

[Stu]

arsenalforever! You have completely just backed up why i got offended

"They live across the ocean and still think the own us"

This was exactly what i was trying to say you obviously have issues with us it showed last night and its defo showing with you now.

Get a grip
He doesn't have issues with the British. He has issues with the British who still think they own us. That is a perfectly fair viewpoint to hold.

I think you will find that it is you who is overreacting to everything, considering that's two Irish people in 24 hours who have merely enforced their independence, and you took it as being anti-British.

So yeah. It's you.

[Chels]

I'd be pissed as well, it was like when I went to Mexico they kept reffering to us as English, I'm not *****ing English.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

wtf why is everybody getting so worked up about it, does it matter? the people who are getting offended are the 'dem bloody foreigners cumin ea takin us jobs an the dont even speak th'launguage' type

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Her overeaccction had made me overeact

[bansheewails]

see this is why history - world history and geography - should be made compulsory in schools! Then the daft Australian wouldn't make the mistake, would he! :hugesmile:

['Conor]

i hate it when people say im from UK aswell, like nothing against UK just im not from there :joker:

[Big Brother Fan]

I would have punched him in the face, end of.

[Stu]

Like a true Cork bai. Gwan I sed.

[MrGaryy]

What the **** LOL I saw it too and to say she 'got really offended' is a bit of an over statement. She simply said that she would get angry if someone called her British, which is perfectly understandable considering the history. Not to mention, would you not be a bit offended if some said that you were say, Icelandic?

[Dean0Mac]

I was born in Glasgow but raised in London. I'm British; people in N-Ireland aren't even British but they're considered part of GB.

I think it's offensive how people in the RoI aren't allowed to vote in some of our competitions. Like this one for example. Caoimhe is from The Rep' yet her peeps wont be able to vote for her to win or w/e if she makes it that far, which IMHO takes the p***!

Aye. We used to be able to. And they still hold open auditions here. It's Big Brother for the geographical region of the British Isles, but we are left a bit in the dark.

We're not able to vote in American competitions because we're a different country. The Republic if Ireland is a different country so they can't vote in our competitions. It makes perfect sense to me. It's not discrimination.

[Lee.]

I haven't seen said incident but without getting into politics or history, I think it depends on how she said it. I'd be fairly taken aback by someone being angry/aggresive with somebody they had just met regardless of what they had said.. Especially in an environment like the BB house
Scots and Irish get asked stupid questions like that so often.. When a foreigner asks me whereabouts in England is Scotland, I just put him/her straight. If he/she genuinely thinks that then the only thing you can do is put them right (but also thinking "you stupid **** :D) no point in getting angry about it.
John is a foreigner.. he obviously didn't say it to offend so there is no point in getting overly defensive and making yourself look like a tw@t on telly!
However, a few of you say she didn't overreact so I'll wait until I see it.. (might not even be shown though)
uh oh..I think I'm going to fall out with myself today!! :)

[Dean0Mac]

We're not able to vote in American competitions because we're a different country. The Republic if Ireland is a different country so they can't vote in our competitions. It makes perfect sense to me. It's not discrimination.

Yet they're not exempt from actually entering to BE INVOLVED? Seems a bit of a washout to me, personally.

I guess the same could be said for JJ as well though.

[BJ]

I should have said people in Australia won't be able to vote for John either. Imagine if people in Portugal had been able to vote for Rodrigo las year me might have won, who knows.

[soleila]

I'm from ROI, and I know what she meant - she's just pee'd off that people KEEP saying it to her. Lets face it, a lot of the BB wannabe's are probably a bit dumb, so she probably got asked 20 times over the past few days!
BTW, read some Irish history if you want to know why some of us get offended. NOT for the faint hearted...

[Sabrewulf238]

Southern Ireland isn't part of Britain, I'd be quite offended by that statement too. Republic of Ireland has independance from Britain and it's not that nice when people say you're part of another country when you're not AND when the people had to work hard to get independance from that country in the past.

I have nothing wrong with Britain at all though, I have British cousins living there and I think this Ireland vs Britain rivalry is silly. But Ireland and Britain are two different countries independant from each other and that should be respected and acknowledged.

[arsenalforever]

I would have punched him in the face, end of.

i would have choked him out

[Niamh.]

I know she was right i aint pissed off about that.

Its the way she said it she looked very angry and that just made me think "woah"

Because we fought long and hard to get our country back from Britain and we are not British. I don't see why you would have a problem with that! 800 years you know!

[commando narf]

I dont like her all that much

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Mr Garry wasnt you on here the other week bitching bout how **** big broher is and calling those of us who had hope for big ratings deluded?

And now your watching it?

Yet another big bro "hater"

[30stone]

Yes she is right but hes from autralia ?

So he wouldnt know, its attached to part of the uk..

so obviously he thought it was, just a simple mix up with someone that doesnt know.

Could have just said no not turn into a tit lol.

[arsenalforever]

Because we fought long and hard to get our country back from Britain and we are not British. I don't see why you would have a problem with that! 800 years you know!

this

[daniel-lewis-1985]

30stone exactly

Thats what im trying to say. She coulda just been polite about it as john obviousy didnt know and was just asking a genuine question

[Niamh.]

30stone exactly

Thats what im trying to say. She coulda just been polite about it as john obviousy didnt know and was just asking a genuine question

It's a touchy subject because we had had to fight to not be British. Can you not understand this at all????

[clairem43]

She wasn't really agressive towards john she tried explaining it a few times and he was acting a bit slow to it cause a friend of his said he was British but from Ireland it does get annoying saying the same thing over I think this thread is getting carried away and dragged out but I think the way she said she will get angry If someone says that is perfectly normal I'm sure other people in that sistuation would say the same.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I can understand this!!!!!!!!!!!!

All im sayin is that i was taken aback by the way she reacted to someone who genuinley didnt know

You uderstand this?

[bansheewails]

Come on now This is getting ridiculous. She didn';t punch him, shout at him or stalk off, she just made it clear she didn't like being called british. I know some people from dublin that think I live in Northern Ireland cause I am from Donegal, :rolleyes: .. Lets just say she 'educated' him and leave it at that!

[arsenalforever]

i don't think he does a silly comment without thinking

I think my ancestors are from Donegal.. :)
*just to lighten subject slightly

[Niamh.]

I can understand this!!!!!!!!!!!!

All im sayin is that i was taken aback by the way she reacted to someone who genuinley didnt know

You uderstand this?

I didn't see it but from what I read it was more of the fact that she was frustrated at him not getting what she was saying than her hating Britain

[bansheewails]

I think my ancestors are from Donegal.. :)
*just to lighten subject slightly

Nicely done :hugesmile:, everyone is Irish deep down, did you not know that? I bet your real name is O'Happyland!:joker:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

All you irish people wind your necks in yeah.

All im saying is that i didnt understand why she reacted to John in that way when he was obviously just a bit naive towards the subject. Hes from Austrailia ffs she must realise that not everyone knows that roi isnt part of the uk

Thats it im sayng no more

[Niamh.]

[bansheewails]

:joker: I think I may change my username to that.. has a much better ring to it!

LOL, will haave speaking Iroish in no time, to be sure bejesus!:elephant:

[clairem43]

All us Irish put our point across because the subject is about a big part of our history and who we are. I think we should all just get on with it now

[Stu]

All you irish people wind your necks in yeah.

And all we are saying is that you are wrong. She didn't overreact. To say she overreacted is complete rape of the English language. Your language.

I watched it and so did others. She didn't overreact. You did.

Get it now?

[Kore]

she should of just told him it wasnt the UK in a nice manner. No need to Snap.

[Niamh.]

she should of just told him it wasnt the UK in a nice manner. No need to Snap.

Did you see it? Did she actually snap though?

[Lee.]

she should of just told him it wasnt the UK in a nice manner. No need to Snap.

Yip, that's what I was trying to say up there^^^.. I just waffled a bit more :)

Edit.. oh and before I get myself into the same trouble Kore has just managed to get himself into, No I did not see it so can't really comment but I'm just saying IF she did snap..
*slouches out of thread muttering to oneself "much more fun in the hot guy thread"*

[Stu]

she should of just told him it wasnt the UK in a nice manner. No need to Snap.
Did you, or 30stone for that matter, actually see the footage?

[30stone]

I didnt from what 90% of people said she did snap at him a bit, got annoyed etc..

The thing is he was just uneducated on the subject, all you need to say is no we are not part of the uk we are not british we are irish.

Hes from the otherside of the world, they dont teach him that ireland isnt part of the uk, it is joined to n ireland after all which is part of the uk, shown a uk map youd still see ireland on there because of how close it is..

Its an easy mistake for people to make especially people who arent taught about it and live outside europe.

[Stu]

I didnt.
Right.

from what 90% of people said
You have a very, very odd grasp on mathematics, from my reading of the thread.

all you need to say is no we are not part of the uk we are not british we are irish.
Which is exactly what she did. Maybe if you had seen the footage.

[Niamh.]

90% of people said it? on this thread or somewhere else?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

She got offended and was clearly aggravated by the question

Fact

[30stone]

My gosh.

Seriously so i didnt actually calculate it.. i saw people say "i was offended".. by the comment and i just didnt understand why.

Which obviously caoimhe was to and showed that? is that right?

Was she calm? was she offended what?


From what ive heard she was a bit over the top. thats all, jeez...

[Niamh.]

She got offended and was clearly aggravated by the question

Fact

Canadians get a bit annoyed when people think they're American, New Zealanders get slightly annoyed when people think they're Aussies, I really can't see what your problem is to be quite honest.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

she said she "hates" being refered to being from uk

OVERACTION!

[setanta]

It's like dear auld Tommy Tiernan said when trying to figure out what it means to be Irish - "It means I'm not f$cking English, ok?".

Anyway, haven't seen the footage so won't be commenting on this alleged snap just yet. Still though, I make a point to mention I'm Irish when I'm abroad but it's usually not necessary cuz of the head on me!

[Stu]

she said she "hates" being refered to being from uk

OVERACTION!
No, it's not. I would hate if people said I was from the UK. BECAUSE I'M NOT.

Get it?

Jesus christ!

[Niamh.]

she said she "hates" being refered to being from uk

OVERACTION!

Oh for christs sake, how many times do you say oh I hate that in a day??? I know I say it quite alot but I don't actually mean hate, it's a figure of speech ffs!!

Don't you just hate it when you're in the bath and the door bell rings? etc etc.

[Niamh.]

:laugh2: I love Tommy

[Fish]

You would find many people in Ireland who would get offended when someone says that. Me personally, don't care if people ask it or assume it.

I mean, I don't think she reacted right. He only asked her a question. Seemed like she jumped down his throat... But we'll see tonight how she said it. (If they show it)

[MissKittyFantastico]

She did snap at him a little bit but it isn't like she went screaming in his face about it!

It's understandable I think, a lot of people get annoyed when people mistake where they come from, especially if they are proud of their roots.

I get annoyed when Americans think everyone in England must live in London for example, I know that's a daft example and nothing compared to the British/Irish thing but it still annoys me, I hate London....doesn't mean all Irish hate the English though! She just corrected him, maybe in a slightly snappy way but I think the OP is making a mountain out of a molehill tbh.

[templetonpeck]

Did anyone witness the conversation between her and john on live feed?

John asked if southern ireland was uk and she got very offended and was like "No i hate it when people say that, its not uk" I was actually quite offended and i dunno why.

I know theres alot of polotics and s h i t in ireland but i didnt think someone would feel that strongly about not wanting to be british and she got quite angry about it

I have a feeling she is gonna be hated

it'd be like asking if England was part of France :thumbs:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

She did actually hate being reffered to being british though lol

It was actual HATE

anyway it should be on tonights highlights show so i will post another thread then to see what people who havnt yet seen it think

[Niamh.]

She did actually hate being reffered to being british though lol

It was actual HATE

anyway it should be on tonights highlights show so i will post another thread then to see what people who havnt yet seen it think

I would hate if people thought I was British................cos I'm not!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

And for the millionth time i did not so she was aggresive or neither did i say she shouted at him

I was just stating that i thought she snapped at him which she did

Im not the one going overboard here.

Im welsh and people allways think im from newcastle which can get quite annoying but i wouldnt snap at someone or jump down someones throat for mistaking my accent. Especially when they are from the other side of the world.

[MissKittyFantastico]

She did actually hate being reffered to being british though lol

It was actual HATE

anyway it should be on tonights highlights show so i will post another thread then to see what people who havnt yet seen it think

Yes but she ISN'T British!! That's kind of the whole point lol

It's like Canadians hating being mistaken for American, New Zealanders hating being mistaken for Aussie's and there's a whole lot of history and bad blood between the British and Irish, maybe she has stories from her background that none of us know. It was one comment on the first night, cut her some slack I say!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

And to hate to be mistaken for being british is offensive to the welsh,scottish,geordi,scouse,brummie ect Saying you would hate to be british like us is quite offensive

[MissKittyFantastico]

And to hate to be mistaken for being british is offensive to the welsh,scottish,geordi,scouse,brummie ect Saying you would hate to be british like us is quite offensive

Well I'm British and she didn't offend me by saying it!

how is it offensive saying you dont want to be british? i dont want to be german btw

[Niamh.]

And to hate to be mistaken for being british is offensive to the welsh,scottish,geordi,scouse,brummie ect Saying you would hate to be british like us is quite offensive

HOW IS IT????? Christ almighty, I wouldn't be offended if it was the opposite way around!!

[Niamh.]

how is it offensive saying you dont want to be british? i dont want to be german btw

you racist basterd:shocked:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Your all taking it way to far. I was saying she snapped and i got quite offended when she said it i was like "whats wrong with the british?" this is how i felt

The way she said it has given me reason to feel like this.

This is my opinion and how i felt so put your mob torches away and accept that she snapped and did jump down a man who asked a genuine questions throat.

And yeah i understand that the british used to be a bunch of c u n t s and raped the world but move on theres no point holding a grudge!

[Stu]

Jesus christ how dim are you?

She doesn't HATE THE BRITISH. She HATES BEING CALLED BRITISH.

And?

So?

Who cares?

I would hate being called British! Get over it!

[MissKittyFantastico]

She didnt say there was anything wrong with the british though! She just said she's not british because ROI is a country in it's own right, which is totally correct and okay for her to say. Okay she may have snapped a little bit but like I said before maybe she has a back story (like a lot of Irish do) that we dont know about, I think you really need to let it go tbh. You're the one coming across as xenophobic now and not her! She's proud to be Irish and you're proud to be British, end of!

I'd hate to be refered as British, waaaay more than her.

What did you expect her to do? Say that she is honered to be thought of as British?

[Stu]

My gosh.

Seriously so i didnt actually calculate it.. i saw people say "i was offended".. by the comment and i just didnt understand why.

Which obviously caoimhe was to and showed that? is that right?

Was she calm? was she offended what?


From what ive heard she was a bit over the top. thats all, jeez...
Your just not very happy when people from other countries choose to display their patriotism or demonstrate their independence, are you? It seems written all over dozens of posts you have made on the subject in the past.

I'll probably take some flack for saying that but I have been here for years now and have seen how you go about it sometimes. It's childish.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

im all for patrionism i have no problem with it whatsoever i actually embrace it so lets not go down that root

Im have no doubt she is proud to be irish which is awesome im just saying she seemed very offended to be called british

THATS ALL IM SAYING

SHE SNAPPED-FACT
SHE SEEMED VERY OFFENDED TO BE CALED BRITISH-FACT

Thats all i was f uc k i n g saying so give it up

[Big Brother Fan]

Your acting as if she beat him up.

I would be much, much more offended to be called British.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

wow is everyone on here irish?! :o

[Niamh.]

Your acting as if she beat him up.

I would be much, much more offened to be called British.

would you have head butted him like? :joker:

No. Not fact. You cannot use the words 'seemed' and 'fact' in the same sentence. 'Seemed' indicates a subjective view of an ambiguous comment. 'Fact' means yeah ... she definately is offended to be called British,

The dialogue speaks for itself. She said she hates being called British. She did not say she hates the British.

If you say stupid, dim things then expect people to challenge your viewpoint. Do not tell others to 'give it up'.

[Big Brother Fan]

would you have head butted him like? :joker:

Oh ya, no doubt.

[MissKittyFantastico]

And all I'm saying that if I was Irish and I got called British, or if I was Canadian and got called American or if I was from New Zealand and got called an Aussie, I would potentially be offended too. You have no problem with being patriotic you say but you're the one who seems to keep banging on about her being just that. I assume you're giving up now then so that's the last I'll say on the matter too :)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

ẁhen the fu ck did i say that she hates the british?!?!

i dont think she hates the british i was just puzzled at her reaction to being reffered to as british

Now please understand this is my opinion and stop having an orgasm over it

And she did SEEM to be offended and that is a FACT ie:She looked offended FACT

[Niamh.]

why though?? it's very simple really, SHE ISN'T BRITISH! as someone already said if you don't want a reaction to your threads, why start any, that is there whole point after all!!

[randomuser]

Can I just ask something to the users from ROI, do you still consider us from NI as Irish and part of Ireland? Sorry I've just always wondered this, don't intend to start a war :P
Can also see the offense Caoimhe may have taken, there's a very brutal past about it for the Irish people to be recognized as Irish :P

And she did SEEM to be offended and that is a FACT ie:She looked offended FACT
Nobody is having an orgasm. As far as I can see everyone in this thread but you has maintained a sense of coherency. You seem to be the one getting all worked up about it.

You said that hating being reffered to as British is an insult to British people. I am here to tell you that your full of ****.

That's all.

Can I just ask something to the users from ROI, do you still consider us from NI as Irish and part of Ireland? Sorry I've just always wondered this, don't intend to start a war :P


Your on the island of Ireland but your obviously not from The Republic.

Can also see the offense Caoimhe may have taken, there's a very brutal past about it for the Irish people to be recognized as Irish :P

Both really, I mean you are Irish and on the Island of Ireland but in reality are ruled by Britain

Depends what the person in question consider themselves I suppose. If you are living in NI and consider yourself Irish then you are Irish in my eyes, and belong to what should be a 32 county ROI. No treaties or borders or anything can change that. Your Irish just like me.

If you consider yourself English and you live in NI well then I can't possibly consider that person Irish for obvious reasons. If they don't want to be they evidently aren't.

Did anyone witness the conversation between her and john on live feed?

John asked if southern ireland was uk and she got very offended and was like "No i hate it when people say that, its not uk" I was actually quite offended and i dunno why.

I know theres alot of polotics and s h i t in ireland but i didnt think someone would feel that strongly about not wanting to be british and she got quite angry about it

I have a feeling she is gonna be hated

Coming from Northern Ireland I can tell you it's a very touchy subject. But I really dont understand how anyone could think the south in part of the uk.

[randomuser]

Thanks for clearing that up. I just always had some idea, perhaps wrongly, that people from the republic viewed the whole of the northern ireland as British, when I don't consider that true, just because there's a border around six counties doesn't make us any less Irish than the rest of the island, I consider myself Irish and was even brought up through the Irish language :P
Sorry for turning this into some political discussion :P

You get offended when people don't like being mistaken for a different nationality?

Christ, your an extra special one, aren't you. To be honest, you strike me as a bit of a wet fart. A skin deep, uninteresting, giddy little child on a sugar high. The dimmest lightbulb in Castle Silly. The bluntest knife in the drawer of ****ing ignorance.

The beautiful thing that you are too fundamentally thick to realise is that you have backed yourself into a corner.

You either really secretly think Caoimhe hates the British - which is obviously riddiculous - or you know she doesn't. In which case you have no excuse to get offended because someone felt like confirming their nationality in a high pitched voice.

Daniel, you need to understand that Irish people who travel abroad a lot, like she does, get this confusion a lot. So Im sure the annoyance builds up over time. It's not about hating the British it's more about wanting to be properly identified. Really not that hard to grasp for non dramaqueens.

And ignorance is very annoying in itself.

You should visit Ireland and not that stupid excuse of a country up north. The real Ireland, you will find a lot of people still have a very bitter taste in their mouths towards the English and UK. I personally am offended every time people confuse Ireland as being a part of the UK. Its easy to say what u are saying from within the confines of one of the most oppressive empires there has ever been. The **** your country put us through.

Of course she would be disgusted to be associated with the UK. Read a history book. You might learn a bit about why the UK really isnt that appealing. :nono:

I was born in Glasgow but raised in London. I'm British; people in N-Ireland aren't even British but they're considered part of GB.

I think it's offensive how people in the RoI aren't allowed to vote in some of our competitions. Like this one for example. Caoimhe is from The Rep' yet her peeps wont be able to vote for her to win or w/e if she makes it that far, which IMHO takes the p***!

Ulster and Northern Ireland are very different things, try talking to a monaghan man about it and you will see. Ulster was there a long time before NI, so by saying you are a proud ulsterman goes against being proud to be british, i think what you are trying to say is you are a proud Northern Irish man and a proud Britishman since they are the same thing. Ulster Culture ended with the plantations IMO. If you were truly proud to be from Ulster you ould agree.

Ulster can mean something depending which family you come from. I support the union and im proud of it.

I have Ulster heritage and im proud of it. Both are mixed in. A lot of people don't realise this.


Being an Ulsterman DOES NOT go against being british. Some one needs a history lesson. The people who fought in WW1, the 36th ulster division, a lot of them were proud to be fighting for their country. Others seen it as a way of getting home rule. Again, depending which side of the family you come from.

RIP to all them great men.

But Ulster is nothing more than what the english tried to change the word Ulaidh to when they first came here and tried to rid us of our language, when it was Ulaidh as in the province of Ireland. Ulster is Irish land, including the six counties of n. Ireland and the other counties of Ulster in the republic, I just find it kind of weird how people can use Ulster as a British term when it a traditional Irish place.

I don't know about you, but I see myself as having a lot in common with them, they're Irish people living on Irish land as are the people in the North, this is the island of Ireland and all of this is Irish land whether it has a border or not, or whether it's ruled by a queen or not. Even the president of the Republic is from the North, so it's not right in saying they don't care about us, as I'm sure the majority of the people there would agree that all of this island is Irish. Our history is the same, and our cultures are the same, and our native language, official or not, is the same.

You're perfectly entitled to your own opinion, I just feel that Eire should be returned to the way it should, as an Irish land consisting of 32 counties without borders or restrictions and united as the same Irish people without a divide and everyone respected for the nationality they are and wish, this entire island is Ireland.

[keithafc]

The Island may be Ireland but a lot of the people LIVING on this Island AREN'T Irish or want to be ruled under the Irish flag. Thats all there is to it.

And I'm just trying to point out that whether divide or no divide, this is Irish and not British land, all of it, and it should be recognized as that, the North of Ireland belongs to the Irish, it's originally Irish, and it's natives will be Irish, whether people living there are British, or any other nationality for that matter , it's natives are Irish, it's just ruled by a foreign empire. In my opinion, that's all there is to it.

I'm from the six counties and I too, would be insulted to be called British, I'm Irish, and this is still Ireland.

No doubt we English "deserved" the IRA attrocities? Don't think Steve would see it that way - he was only 19 when they blew his legs off.

[Stacey.]

i don't like her. she seems stuck-up.

John wasn't to know if it was part if the UK or not.

Seriously though, live and let live! The flag couldnt be that bothersome, its just Green White and Gold! Very inoffensive colours.

Northern Ireland is part of the UK but is not part of Great Britain.

The UK, under the Act Of Union of 1800, consisted of Great Britain and (all of) Ireland.

So we were once in the UK. And all the better for it. All the best town planing are architecture are a legacy of British rule. So is the parliament and the judiciary.

Dublin is as British a town as you'll find anywhere in the UK.

Green white and orange.

Inspired by the French tricolour, it stands for peace between the 2 traditions in Ireland.

Well that put me back in my box. :nono:

[Niamh.]

And I'm just trying to point out that whether divide or no divide, this is Irish and not British land, all of it, and it should be recognized as that, the North of Ireland belongs to the Irish, it's originally Irish, and it's natives will be Irish, whether people living there are British, or any other nationality for that matter , it's natives are Irish, it's just ruled by a foreign empire. In my opinion, that's all there is to it.

As a person from the republic of Ireland, I agree 100% with you. You put it very eloquently as well I must say.

and Keith, the province of Ulster also has counties which are part of the Republic in it so I would not class Ulster as British at all

Steve was a soldier. He signed up for it and put himself into the army. When you join the army you risk your life, it's the nature of the job. There were casualties on both sides you know.

Just glad it's all over.

Are you from the north? and yeah, I'm glad too.

[karezza]

Is the Isle of Man in the UK?

[Nemo123]

Are you from the north? and yeah, I'm glad too.

No, I'm from Dublin.

[Nemo123]

Is the Isle of Man in the UK?

Not sure. Google is your friend.

The island is not part of the United Kingdom but its foreign relations, defence, and ultimate good governance are the responsibility of the Government of the United Kingdom

[Niamh.]

It's not part of the UK Kerezza

[karezza]

Is Sark part of the UK?

[Nemo123]

Is Sark part of the UK?

No.

The Channel Isles are considered the remnants of the Duchy of Normandy.

[Niamh.]

No Kerezza

[Nemo123]

Is it Queefa or Keefa?

Caoi means mist, and is pronounced q-ee.

[setanta]

Yeah, that was an interesting point that someone brought up about the anglicization of the word Uladh and how it's used right now up in the north.

[Niamh.]

Is it Queefa or Keefa?

Caoi means mist, and is pronounced q-ee.

I pronounce it quee-va or Kwee-va

[setanta]

I pronounce it quee-va or Kwee-va

Yep, me too.

[Niamh.]

well Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan are all part of Ulster but in the republic so Ulster is Irish as far as I'm concerned

[Nemo123]

Chris Moyles is Irish. Grandad from Mayo, killed in Belgium in 1914 fighting for King and country. My grandma's brother lost his legs fighting for Britain in the Great War.

Dublin is as British a town as you'll find anywhere in the UK.


As you say you are from Dublin then surely you know Dublin is a city ,not a town.

I see what you mean about Dublin being as British as the UK.
Sure there is union jacks flying from every building ,when you walk by the pubs you can hear them all singing "rule Britannia" inside and as I have been living here 11 yrs I am starting to pick up a cockney accent:rolleyes:

[Niamh.]

yes

[Stu]

The Island may be Ireland but a lot of the people LIVING on this Island AREN'T Irish or want to be ruled under the Irish flag. Thats all there is to it.
I'm not trying to sound harsh but that doesn't really matter. 'Tough ****' is a term I would use here.

If I break into a house containing a family of six, evict the four children, kill the husband, and rape the wife so that she bears my child and then board myself up in that house - it does not entitle me to keep the house.

[Nemo123]

But if you live in the house long enough you can claim squatters's rights.

Oh right ,well if Shane says its a town then a town it is.LOL

[Stu]

Not if you took it by force in the way I outlined. Read the post.

It's a good metaphor though. The British are squatting in the north.
