Where am i going to live?

So,should Scotland go for independence (and I'm beginning to think they might), what are the rest of us going to be called? Currently the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain refers to the island which is made up of England, Scotland, and Wales. United Kingdom refers to the unification of the kingdoms of England (which included Wales) and Scotland. The only bit of the current name which would make any sense would be Northern Ireland. What should a new country consisting of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland be called? No politicising please, just a bit of fun.

The flag should have the Welsh dragon on it, that'd be (a) cool and (b) overdue.

Hungary. Well I will, I have just found out that I can now fill in the forms to become a real [ha ha] Hungarian! :laugh:

That's a funny flag "Sorry, this page cannot be found.":confused: The link works now.

I can fill out the form to be a playboy centerfold. That doesn't mean they'll have me.

I qualify as I have been married to Hungarian for over five years and have made it my home; even though we work here. I have to have an interview with the Consul at the Embassy; a nice chap who Mrs Wife knows. The only iffy bit is that I am supposed to have adequate language skills; we can work around that.

I'm looking forward to getting another passport. :-) BTW: don't think there is any need to change the flag. How many people would be able to tell you why the flag looks like it does except for nerds (that would be us) and vexillologists?

If the prophet of doom merchants have their way, the Scots might just end up building the luxury car division of Trabant, known as DK.

With the exception of Glasgow (I felt safer in Belfast during the Troubles than in Glasgow) it's a wonderful place. Good people, good whisky, good scenery, avoid the chippy and it has good food. And the people are easier to understand than Yorkshiremen! (I always had to hold out a handful of change in Yorkshire pubs because I didn't understand a word the bar staff said to me)

I am attempting humor: my dad is still called Jock because of his Glaswegian brogue. Oddly, I can't hear it at all but can hear it on other people.

I didn't realize - my bad. :-O I meant it about Glasgow though - not a place I would want to live...heck I didn't even like driving through the place. Had a couple of good restaurants though. This one for example I remember well for the quality of teh wine list: http://www.ubiquitouschip.co.uk/[^] Menu - one side of A4 (Perfect! Means they concentrate of getting the dishes right) Wine list - at least two volumes. I suspect there was a third volume, but we never got that far despite some heroic trying and serious damage to the client's expense account.

Yeah because nerds and vexillologists are well known for not being pedantic about this sort of thing.
Definitely a better name than the last one! :thumbsup:
