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

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

Is it Queefa or Keefa?

Caoi means mist, and is pronounced q-ee.

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.

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

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.

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

I'm not trying to sound harsh but that doesn't really matter. 'Tough shit' 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.

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

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.
