apparently 10x the EU economy is about the same as 1.5x the entire global economy.

I thought that, though figured thumped would consider that to be a no brainer EL15 type thing.

 

[nooleen]

what's EL15?

I typed it wrong. It was supposed to be ELI5, which is 'explain like i'm 5' talk on reddit.

 

[nooleen]

does that mean you thought thumped wouldn't know about the lizard overlords or that it was so obvious it didn't even need to be said?

A lot of English people seem to call the Republic "Southern Ireland". My friend got that a lot when he was living in London and I get it when I go to conferences.

A lot of Northern Irelanders do too. I have relatives who consider going on holiday from Tyrone to the far north of Donegal as going South.

I don't really mind that, nor do I even get pissed off with "Free State" as it's such a comical dig. But "Eire" gets on my wick something rotten.

That seems to be an issue for a lot of people, I never got it but then again I am a West Brit.

It feels a little "let's speak some gaelic for Paddy, he'll like that"

I think it's because they think that's what we call Ireland and they're trying to be nice.
