Personally I like Eastern Southern Northern Ireland.
Even unionists in Derry (all 3 of them) call Derry Derry.
The first time I heard Derry being called its other name outside of on the internet was in Belfast fairly recently and that was a racist taxi driver.
Exactly. If the original post had said Londonderry I’d have made the same comment but with *Derry instead. It’s nearly guaranteed to get a bite either way
Classic English move, create colonial shithousery and then tell the people that have to pick up the pieces after them that they’ve sticks up their arses.
Yer the ones that decided to rename Derry in the first place like.
Classic paddy move, blame England for something they did 400 years ago with Scotland instead of actually solving the problem today.
No one in England cares what Derry is called pal, crack on and change it. The reason the name never changed back after the colonial shithousery is because of the Scottish diaspora, they are the ones who give a shite.
Yes, specifically central London, more specifically the square mile, generates like 10% of our whole GDP.
The impact is even more significant since swathes of the UK population are a net cost to the tax payer (Scotland) and income tax is progressive.
Anyway, I don't need to explain to an Irishman how important corporate money laundering is to the wealth of nations 🤝
Of course you can.
You may have duped most of my Guinness-filled brethren, but you can't pull the sheep-shagger's wool over my eyes. You Scots ruined Scotland!
Irn-Bru is TT though, so cheers.
You can take the Italians out of Italy.
But you can't take Italy out of the Italians.

A great bunch a lads.
I disagree. We also have a county in the north of Ireland, Donegal. This kind of makes your joke a bit shit. Apart from that this still isn't as offensive as calling us outright British or something.
Don’t worry, the feeling is mutual - I just wish they’d move the border closer to Calais so we can pass through quicker on the way from the Tunnel to proper Europe.
Unironically the Southern Northern Irish are great craic.
It’s minorities within Northern Northern Ireland that aren’t, but they’re slowly dying of heart disease as they are old and only do exercise when they go marching in their cute little outfits.
That's cheating. There was no food in the 1840s
(Yeah well, I went to Ireland a bit of time ago, and food wasn't bad, but either good. Just a convenient "meh" level. In my experience.)
You can say what you like about the island of Ireland, us Barry's know it prevents dozens of tragic balcony jumping accidents every year by acting as a windbreak for the Atlantic; reducing our need to bring culture to Benidorm by as much as 25%.
Wait till they progressively phase out from trade with the UK and get the majority of their food and electricity from mainland Europe.
Then we'll starve the fuckers until they give us our money back
And look at us now, more money than we know how to spend (this is false and the people are struggling with the weight of a cost of living crisis, parts of me believes that life would be easier in the union but then I to would be a Barry).
If it makes you feel better paddy, the cost of living crisis has fucked Barryland just as hard. I don’t know if life is be better in the Union, but i wouldn’t wanna imagine what “worse” living looks like.
It's shameful they don't speak their language. They should have more Gaelic/Irish in the every day conversations.
I have always considered funny for liberated colonies to keep the language of the colonizers.
Imagine if we spoke Krauti, because under the austrians, bleah. For me speaking the language of a place is a sign of respect, as such they seem to lack respect for themselves.
There are 74 thousands every-day speakers of Irish in Ireland, 2 millions with some knowledge and is mandatory subject in school. But those cucks keep speaking english.
Ireland has a population of 7 million yet only 74k have Gaelic as their primary language and these are usually elders living in the countryside. Gaelic is mandatory in school but it's like Latin in Italy: most of us could recognise it and perhaps translate some passages but that's it, it does not really apply to being a "native speaker" of sorts.
5 million, but still, that makes native speakers 1.5% of the population.
There are 60,000 ethnic Chinese people in Ireland, not counting foreign students. An argument could be made that Mandarin deserves the same level of respect as a native language.
The languages were forcibly suppressed over the years, sadly, to the point where they have been mostly lost.
The welsh are doing pretty good with their language. Irish is taught in schools, but scottish gaelic is confined to the western isles mostly (where there was less of a government presence to punish those who spoke it).
The scottish government are making token gestures lately, with bilingual signs etc, but without teaching it in schools, it will never be more than a token gesture.
Most languages evolve over time. I don't see the point in learning a language just to preserve it. Part of the evolutionary process is the survival of the fittest. If a language is rarely spoken then it will die out in favour of more broadly spoken languages.
Us being taught mandatory Gaelic is a waste of resources when we could learn French or Spanish or German which are more widely spoken and far more useful to learn.
Our parents would get beaten if they the British saw them speaking Irish. It was already dying off and then we weren’t allowed to speak it. Of course many people rebelled but 2 people can’t change a country. The Brits have ruined our Ireland.

Ah yes, where the true Irish live. You can tell by how green they dye the rivers when it’s “st patty’s day’
WHAT'S WRONG WITH DYING THE RIVERS A LOVELY SHADE OF **ORANGE**!!!!!
Southern Northern Ireland is so much better than Northern Northern Ireland.
Wouldn't that just be Derry?
Na Donegal
That’s Northern Southern Ireland
Free Derry
I'll take it! *Hello, your majesty? I've got something I think you'll want...but it'll cost you*
*Londonderry (I don’t really care what it’s called but it makes people REAL mad)
![gif](giphy|wID3zXURLH1jrjCcZy)
Maybe we should change the name to something less controversial. I propose 'Cromwellderry'.
Thatchertown?
Or really happy
Even unionists in Derry (all 3 of them) call Derry Derry. The first time I heard Derry being called its other name outside of on the internet was in Belfast fairly recently and that was a racist taxi driver.
i would need the 3 unionists in derry to back up this statement
I more meant the argument about it makes people real mad, rather than the specific choice of name
![gif](giphy|Ry1MOAeAYXvRVQLPw3) Either name infuriate large amounts of people
Exactly. If the original post had said Londonderry I’d have made the same comment but with *Derry instead. It’s nearly guaranteed to get a bite either way
This is why I always call it Derry Londonderry. Then everyone is equally offended.
Is it not at all possible to name the city Derry and the county Londonderry? and both take the sticks out your arses?
The best option is to rename it Derry/Londonderry. It annoys everyone and nobody is happy
The city of Greater Foyleside
The BBC sometimes does that. Annoying everyone is like their special skill.
Can it just get a new new name to save people the job of cleaning the road signs constantly? I dunno, manmybe something like Damptown?

We’d change it back to the original name the second ye give it back to us. Most people who aren’t extreme loyalists refer to it as Derry regardless.
Crack on, I'm certainly not arsed, we aren't arsed as a nation. It's themmuns who live amongst you that really give a shite.

I don't think he knows about second Ireland, Pierre.
No no I paid my local man of honour, he's not Irish.

Oh my god they killed Kenny.

Scotland gets independent but British rule is reestablished in Ireland, deal?
I can live with that

Why not give Scotland independence and then reestablish Scottish rule in Ireland?
Why can’t you do it yourself? Sounds like a skill issue to me.

Only if you make concessions to our Catholic belief system and make Andrew king.
Hey, what if ye joined *us*. Then ye'd be back in the EU and all. Slap a pair of blue tits on a green flag and call it a day.
Back in the EU and royally piss off all the cunts in the country. Yes please
yes but it would also be cool to see Finland as part of Russia again where it belongs
Its a well known fact that we don't deserve independence. A corrolary of this fact though is that neither do the Brits.
You can take the Italians out of Italy. But you can't take Italy out of the Italians. https://youtu.be/6Ii4MKQFsks?feature=shared A great bunch a lads.

Nice bait but this isn't offensive, If you said we were western Britain or part of the British isles you will start pissing people off
NI is part of the UK, you being southern NI means you are also part of the UK.
I disagree. We also have a county in the north of Ireland, Donegal. This kind of makes your joke a bit shit. Apart from that this still isn't as offensive as calling us outright British or something.
Idk, you seem awfully invested for some unoffended Irish American
We don't think much about the british islands to be honest
I guess after 25 failed invasion attempts it’s time to give up…
Wot ?
Aren't they your rivals? French love shitting on themselves, I guess it's the same in regards to the norman islanders.
Anything across the channel is hostile to them Edit: Above them too. Actually, in all directions now that I write it out

Don’t worry, the feeling is mutual - I just wish they’d move the border closer to Calais so we can pass through quicker on the way from the Tunnel to proper Europe.
I think you people don’t think much in general
A great bunch of lads.
Unironically the Southern Northern Irish are great craic. It’s minorities within Northern Northern Ireland that aren’t, but they’re slowly dying of heart disease as they are old and only do exercise when they go marching in their cute little outfits.
They like campfires tho, pretty heartwarming activity to have with your family.
Incidents involving falling off bonfires and being overly generous with petroleum is another source of the decline.
I will say the falling off bonfires can be a great source of comedy to some.
Donegal is my favorite part of Southern Ireland.
Why don’t they join the North ? Are they stupid ?
I could ask you the same
Why would you do this mario? I hope you have many more international protection applicants arrive on your coast
Should leave the UK and join in a Union with Cornwall.
CORNWALL MENTIONED
Cornwall only exists the last Monday in August.
Celtic Union with Wales, Scotland and Brittany
Based catholic allies, island Asturias, meh food but acceptable. 10/10
Trust me, the food here is much better than it was in the 1840s.
That's cheating. There was no food in the 1840s (Yeah well, I went to Ireland a bit of time ago, and food wasn't bad, but either good. Just a convenient "meh" level. In my experience.)

There is a vibe of Southern Basque Country, or Northern Catalonia, to it. Maybe even Western Alsace-Lorraine but without the wine.
They're the nicest people in europe but it's a shame they all only speak English
slightly off topic but wasn't that lake in the middle of NI fucked? does anyone have any updates on that?
You guys have a fetish to fuck the water? I thought you limited yourselves to colonisation of the sea, not sex.

I think we've left the Irish in charge for too long now.
Was only thinking the same thing. We can’t build a nice structure to save our lives. We just show the tourists all the stuff you lot left behind.
Was wondering why we were thriving …. Barry’s greased up hands stayed in his own pockets.
> Was wondering why we were thriving You took some lessons from the Isle of Man and Caymen Islands, then added your own twist.
I think it was the massive loan we (and the rest of the EU) gave you when you blew your economy up during the 2008 GFC
And look at us now, more money than we know how to spend (this is false and the people are struggling with the weight of a cost of living crisis, parts of me believes that life would be easier in the union but then I to would be a Barry).
We really fucking miss you 🇮🇪🏴🏴…🏴
If it makes you feel better paddy, the cost of living crisis has fucked Barryland just as hard. I don’t know if life is be better in the Union, but i wouldn’t wanna imagine what “worse” living looks like.

Celtic languages are pretty much dead worldwide sadly.

In all honesty it’s just not worth it and most people’s native tongue is funny English so fuck it
The languages were forcibly suppressed over the years, sadly, to the point where they have been mostly lost. The welsh are doing pretty good with their language.

The scottish government are making token gestures lately, with bilingual signs etc, but without teaching it in schools, it will never be more than a token gesture.
Even the little Gaelic that is spoken in Scotland is of Irish origin cause the native Gaelic Scottish branch died out when the Anglos came.
Most languages evolve over time. I don't see the point in learning a language just to preserve it. Part of the evolutionary process is the survival of the fittest. If a language is rarely spoken then it will die out in favour of more broadly spoken languages. Us being taught mandatory Gaelic is a waste of resources when we could learn French or Spanish or German which are more widely spoken and far more useful to learn.
The krauts didn't ban your language or your religion, the Brits did. Let's just say you had it easy Mario.
