    The only Soviet ever formed outside Russia was in Hospital Co Limerick.

    Just came across this thread and too lazy to read through the whole thing but to my mind, "southern Ireland" is Cork, Waterford and everything else on the south coast isn't it? Its usually the Nordies who use that term (i.e. if they are not calling us the Free State :mad:). The correct title is the Republic of Ireland. It is a sovereign nation with 26 counties. Theres a bit on the north eastern side of the island that we didn't want back in the early 20's and we told the British to keep it, although I'm fairly sure they don't want it either anymore :D



    +1
    I really wish I could use an even bigger font.
    The north is an economic drain on the brits so in some ways were alot better off for letting them keep it.:D
    Feel sorry for them though when they realise.

    Me and a mate used to chat on MSN all the time and this guy we both added years before MSN from a GTA forum used to ask us everday was our name "Trey". It got really annoying so me and my friend started a group chat with him.

    We asked him who he was, why he couldn't remember who "Trey" was everytime he logged onto MSN etc. Anyway the conversation got to us being Irish. He said the following (what I can remember).

    He was from Manchester.
    Our national army is the IRA.
    We are all terrorists.
    We were republicans because we are from the "Republic".
    Calling Northern Ireland, "Northern" is patronising to Northeners.
    All Irish people come from Liverpool (WTF).
    That we didn't know anything about our country because you don't learn about your own country in school and that he was right.

    What a dickhead.

    You met this guy in a GTA forum, therefore he was probably 14, trying to wind you up and didnt have a clue!
