the tool does realize that Sheamus is Irish and not British right?

 

[monkeystyle]

lol never noticed that. That's awesome.

 

[monkeystyle]

I suppose though if Sheamus is from Northern Ireland he could stretch out an argument but then it would be more like "Doing it for the Kingdom" or some shit like that.

 

[This Guy]

I wouldn't even attempt to defend it Monk, seriously, you don't refer to an irishman as British. Its like calling someone from Japan Chinesse or a Cuban a mexican or someone from Austrailua from New Zeland. (to put it terms that everyone can understand)

Nah, Dublin according to wiki.

Due to religious issues, Nothern Irish people proudly refer themselves as British, and their citizenship says ''British'' anyways.

LOL this might make me sound like an idiot, but I honestly didn't know Layla wasn't American... I thought the accent was fake :/

I was just going to say this....so maty isn't really wrong....

 

[straight_edge76]

And, in his defense he is what 13 or 14? LOL just sayin'

No he is wrong because Dublin is the capital of the Republic of Ireland I.E. the bit which isn't in Britain. Still, if he is young, then you can't blame him too much. I'm assuming that's the point Outsider was making.

Also, the WWE are tools when it comes to this anyway - Finlay, who is from Northern Ireland, used to wear orange green and white trim- the colours of the Republic's flag, not Northern Ireland's (which is red and white incidentally)

 

[Lady Redfield]

I am almost certain at one point Dublin was the British Empire's second largest city.....I think they then went off on their own afterwards but, yeah, were still at one point part of the British Empire....

^ You're not wrong, but the Republic of Ireland is no longer part of the United Kingdom due to religious issues. Anyway, Northern Ireland isn't actually a part of Great Britain - it is a part of the United Kingdom though. Great Britain = Scotland, England and Wales. UK = Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The British Isles = Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

 

[Airfixx]

^^^ CORRECT.


Re: Layla.... Proper mongrel accent... S'like she's trying to sound yankee, yet her inner Cockney won't let her.

Kinda like a reverse of Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins.

 

[Sharpshooter 221]

I have called him out on this many times, his arguement is that Ireland is in the British Isles or something so "Technically that makes him British so......"

from wiki:

Citizenship and identity
Further information: British nationality law and Irish nationality law

As part of the United Kingdom, people from Northern Ireland are British citizens. They are also entitled to Irish citizenship by birth which is covered in the 1998 Belfast Agreement between the British and Irish governments, which, provides that: it is the birthright of all the people of Northern Ireland to identify themselves and be accepted as Irish or British, or both, as they may so choose, and accordingly [the two governments] confirm that their right to hold both British and Irish citizenship is accepted by both Governments and would not be affected by any future change in the status of Northern Ireland.

Off course Sheamus is left out anyways.
