Yeah I knew you didn't know either but I didn't want to "out" you. Thank you Chito-chan for your answer!!!
Kristy, Ric's name is Jorge.
So I'll paste in Sam's real question:
i have a couple questions for you weirdmom, what is your real name and why is your username weirdmom?i think you were the first person on here to add me a friend and reply to my post, but since then i've rarely chatted with you
My real name is Anne. I gave a long winded answer about my username in the thread about usernames so you can see that there. I don't want to paste it in here and bore people to death.
You're right, we haven't chatted much. I've seen your posts but often the threads you're on aren't ones I'm really posting on. (If they're sports related, I have no opinions or thoughts to offer.)
yeah,i know,i'm kinda hung up on baseball at the moment.Anne is a nice name, i like it.:-) |

Uh, no. I actually was going to ask that but forgot and pressed submit before I added that.
As Kayte said, my real name is Rocio. Quite weird. |

Wendy, are you from Ireland or Northern Ireland?
Your profile says "UK" but in the Unsecret Santa signup you said "Ireland."
NI is part of the UK, so I think people living there go by either/or. |

Hello lil lady! I am from Northern Ireland (which is part of UK...thus it comes up as that on offical things like Travis board) but I put IRELAND on the UnSecret Santa thing as all you North Americans seem to put that I am from Ireland as in general(see other swaps etc). I made it easier for you all ;) But either is fine n dandy with me. |

Random question: when I give my irish address to anyone official here, they always think it's NI, what would you refer to the other bit of ireland as officially, cos i always end up sounding like an idiot saying '...limerick...' *blank stare* 'south?' |

The South of Ireland is The Republic Of Ireland.
The North is Northern Ireland. |

how very un-Darranish
I thought I would ask for clarification as to not accidently offend you either way. As i apperently did with someone else. But we have come to a truce!
Okay, Wendy is officially Northern Irish and not Irish.

| Due to the map shortage, I thought Ireland was just Ireland. I didn't there was a division. |

Very Basically...
Ireland was once colonized by the British and became part of the Empire. There was an uprising and a fight for Irish Independence. Eventually the British government gave 26 of the 32 Counties back to the Irish, keeping 6 in the north(Ulster). The 26 became the Republican Free State of Ireland and the 6 in the north(Ulster) remained part of the United Kingdom (of Great Britian and Northern Ireland).
There are 3 different schools of thought regarding the north...
1. Some people wish to reamin British (Unionists)
2. Some people wish the remaining counties be returned to the Republic (Republicans)
3. Some people don't care either way or see the North as it's own place belonging to neither.
That is a very simplistic view but I hope it helps.

This is a quarter of my Leaving Cert History course - except in the book it takes up over 300 pages, and that's just the past 50 years! Good summary btw. |
