Brittish Isles XI, Football team..England Ireland Scotland Wales

ah, hmmm, i know in=m irish...but ireland is part of the BRITTISH ISLES, wheather we like it or not.....the British isles is a geograplical area not a political one..... :no:

The Repubic of Ireland is not part of the British Isles.

Their currency is euro's for starters, they don't have seats in the UK Parliament.

They are a self running country under their own control.

Northern Ireland is part of Britain.

UK is Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England.

The republic (hence their name go read what the republic means) of Ireland are not part of the British Isles.

Union flag contains the flags of, Northern Ireland, Scotland and England.

Britain is Wales, England, Northern Ireland and Scotland.

Olympics we are Great Britain and NI (Northern Ireland).

Lovell got it in one....

British Isles = England, Scotland, Wales, Republic Of Ireland and Northern Ireland

Britain = England, Scotland and Wales

UK = England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

Or how about the Wikipedia, encyclopedia, do you know somthing they dont?

The British Isles is a geographical and ecological term for the archipelago of islands off the northwest coast of Europe, including Great Britain, (the largest island in the group), the Isle of Man, Ireland, and several thousand smaller adjacent islands. The geographical term British Isles is not synonymous with the United Kingdom, since it includes the crown dependencies such as the Isle of Man, and (usually) includes the Republic of Ireland. British derives originally from Britto or Priteni, the Celtic or pre-Celtic people who populated the islands before the Roman invasion.

The isle of mann is also self run.

If Ireland is part of Britain then why then do ireland compete at the Olympics as Ireland, hold no seats in our parliament and are a ''REPUBLIC''?

No, you are mistakinG the Brittish isles for the term Britain.

For example the americas is the continent of america but is canada usa mexico etc

Can you please correct the spelling.

British not Brittish.

I know the Americas situ. You have to understand my point.

Bit of a biased team considering you are from Ireland :p

Joe Cole would play over Damien Duff, just like he does at Chelsea.

Richard Dunne over Jamie Carragher or Rio Ferdinand, what are you on?

Steven Finnan over Gary Neville I would agree with.

Craig Bellamy over Owen or Crouch I would not agree with, although Bellamy is a good player.

Richard Dunne over Jamie Carragher or Rio Ferdinand, what are you on

Player of the year in City..Carragher is havin a howler of a WC..AND IM A uniter supporter ....ferdinand is a DONKEY

Craig Bellamy over Owen or Crouch I would not agree with, although Bellamy is a good player.

The other guy is right. The term "British Isles" refers to the whole of Ireland, Great Britain and the Isle of Man and all the other islands around, except the Channel Islands. Don't forget that the reason we use the term "Great" Britain is to differentiate the big British Island from the others - which does include Ireland.

A large proporation of Irish deplore the term "British Isles" and use "These Islands" instead.

It always shocks me, the number of people who don't know the difference between Great Britain, the UK, the British Isles, the Commonwealth and Territories & Dependencies. I remember being taught that in Top Infants, which I guess is Year 2 now.

What do you base the Carragher is having a howler on? He has only played like 50 minutes of the World Cup and was very solid. Dont forget his natural position is centre back (where he is one of the best, if not the best player in that position in the Premiership). He has also played at right back, left back, centre back and defensive midfield for England! What more could you want?

Ferdinand is a donkey, I agree with that. But I would say that he is still a better player than Dunne.

Hmmm, wer gonna gave to differ on that...The irish defence is alyays quite solid with him in it...

I think i'll log onto a Man City forum and see if they agree wit ya! :lol:

Too much hype around rio.....

If england could include irish players...who would you bring..include bench players..

meh, i was just tryin to give a shout out to the Welsh!!!

lol, glad you did, cos in a real British XI, there probably would be no welsh players in the starting 11 at all.

Possibly Giggs and bellamy on the bench, but thats it.

That is why i do not want to see a british team in the football in the London olympics.

Because all it will be is prehaps 8 english players, 1 scot, 1 northan irishmen, and 1 welshman in the starting 11 (so they can say they included them). And thats if we're lucky - I could easily see it being just an England team starting a game, with a welshman, scot and northan irshman coming on as subs.

sorry bout the rant lol.

Speaking of Bellamy. I hope he signs for Liverpool, apparently there is a clause in his contract which allows him to leave for 6 million, but that expires at the end of July. He could be a snip for 6 million, there is no doubting his ability, it's just his attitude and tempermant that is the question.

Sorry about my rant :)

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
