btw, do british ppl hate the irish and if so , why ?

Here's the skinny (as we say daan saaf [down south]).

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?

If by this you mean "Today is the day I have been informed of Scotland's existence", then I have to ask, do you live under a rock? or are you high? or both?

I think both Big Grin

I thought Soctland and Irland were kinda the same thing .

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

But they do share a Celtic heritage thanks to the Irish sea being the Western end of the main trade route into the British Isles from the Middle East.

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
