Here endeth the brief lesson about Northern Ireland, constitutional disputes and history ;-) When you’ve been born in one country same as your parents and can claim to be three different nationalities every day of the year, you can understand why we all have a permanent identity crisis.

Here endeth the brief lesson about Northern Ireland, constitutional disputes and history ;-)

Anytime we can both be right is win-win. Though not as good as when I can just be right. (Kidding) I am pretty ignorant of the history of your neck of the woods. Hope that didn't leave you with an identity crisis for the day. Thanks for clarifying that. Anytime we can both be right is win-win. Though not as good as when I can just be right.

As Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom we are British citizens. As we've been divided on constitutional grounds for so long, Northern Irish people also have the option to carry an Irish passport so we are in effect both British and Irish hence our local difficulties. Personally I prefer Northern Irish than British or Irish but I won't argue if I get called any of the three. Hope that clears it up ;-) Confusing though it is both you and Cory are right.

Cory has just informed me that you are not, in fact, a Brit. Rather, an upstanding Irishman. My apologies. I'm still using the mum-brain thing, though. :) Sorry, Alan.

From now on, I have mum-brain. Sounds much more serious, and a different ailment from all of those other moms in the park. Now, if I can just get it said with the right accent. We Americans are soooo good at sounding like Brits. :) Brilliant! From now on, I have mum-brain. Sounds much more serious, and a different ailment from all of those other moms in the park.
