Territorially and politically it went into the history books.

I don't understand why something not being a political or administrative region anymore means that it doesn't exist.

Though, Ulster is still an administrative region for many sports, so that argument falls rather flat anyway.

I have not posted this to be a political debate but to beg people to pronounce our lovely provencal name correctly.....I don't do politics!!!!

I just feel that we as Northern Irish People,should take pride in our 'country' name and pronounce it correctly:cool:

began with a rant and a laugh.....still ranting i afraid (and probably mad with it!!!)

hope you all enjoy your evening.......

I wouldn't say it's becoming a political debate.

And even if it was, there's nothing wrong with that as long as it stays friendly.

As long as you pay my bail, no problem.

OK, to be honest I don't like using Northern Ireland, Derry or Londonderry because lets people pigeon hole you......wish they would change all these names to something unassociated with the troubles/religion....like SIM city...you know what I mean.

Call it Stroke City.

In the occupied 6 counties:rolleyes:
:rotfl:


Thats the problem, people immediately pigeon hole you for that sort of thing, although i've never heard of someone being done so for saying norn iron.
Personally I dont like saying Norn Iron, I prefer the full Northern Ireland:T

Not all 'the English' stereotype us! I find that a bit biased tbh.

I dont think saying we come from 'Norn Iron' is going to help us not be stereotyped. Do you?
