    If we fill it full of ghost estates, we can drive across it.

    I always thought it would be at least a few miles deep. I find it's shallowness hard to accept.

    That's why they allowed us to call it the Irish Sea.

    We cant comprehend what was before the big bang unless we forget the concept of nothing as nothing is a term holding humans imaginations back, nothing doesnt exist.

    Brother was telling me he was getting the ferry to Shirkin Island and he was talking to some girl when he said 'I wonder how deep the water goes', she replies 'right down to the bottom I suppose' but she wasn't joking.

    We're doing better than the English. All they have is a Channel and its probably not much deeper.
    We have a whole ****ing sea bitches!

    a few miles, the mariana trench is only just over 6.5 miles deep and thats the deepest part of any ocean on earth

    we should build giant sea barriers shown in red on this map then pump out the irish sea and claim the land and fill it up with construction and demolition waste and sand (to bulk up most of that 300metres depth) then cover it over with plenty of imported top soil. Would be great farming land. Then grow biofuel crops on it.

    Does the sheer volume of water scare the shíte out of anyone else or is it just me?

    I've seen a decorative/antique type map in an English persons house that had the 'Irish Sea' and the 'British Ocean' (ie the channel)...

    for a while the brits pretty much did own most of the ocean.... then the commonwealth fell apart slowly.

    Seems so
    Beaufort's Dyke is the sea trench between Northern Ireland and Scotland within the North Channel. The dyke is 50 km long, 3.5 km wide and 200–300 metres deep.

    Because of its depth and its proximity to the Cairnryan military port, it became the United Kingdom's largest offshore dump site for conventional and chemical munitions after the Second World War; in July 1945, 14,500 tons of 5-inch artillery rockets filled with phosgene were dumped in Beaufort's Dyke

    It's hard to believe that it is just 984ft deep at its deepest. That's the equivalent of almost 6 Nelson's Columns stacked on top of each other.

    Deep enough to separate them from us, but still let us go and take their jobs while disliking them. So, the perfect depth really.

    There are no jobs in the UK, Mr
