English people have a fond relationship with Scottish people, we like the Irish, we are slightly perplexed by the Welsh, we hate the French and we don't trust the Germans. In Rugby Union, the Irish, Scottish, Welsh, French, Italian and English all hate each other unless it's the Lions, when we all hate the Australians. The Australians, South Africans and New Zealanders all hate each other unless it's the Barbarians, when they all hate the English. In Rugby League, the Northern English teams hate each other and the Southern English teams hate each other unless it's a world cup, when everybody hates England. In cricket no one hates anyone because it takes too much effort, unless it's a one day test then India hates Sri Lanka. In the Eurovision song contest everyone loves their immediate neighbour and Ireland unless it's the Balkans, (no one has worked that one out yet) and everyone hates England. In football (soccer), everybody hates everybody. Clear? MM

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
I hate Londoners

I think both I thought Soctland and Irland were kinda the same thing .
Soughta like how Egpyt and Libia are the same. :-)
They may very well be, as I've not heard of "Soctland" or "Irland". As for Scotland and Ireland, they're not even on the same landmass

Yeah yeah, but my point was that they're not even near each other/share borders so him thinking they were the same country was crazy
