Oh so now are we arguing that it is a sovereign state?
A country tends to be a sovereign state, you must be confusing a country with a disputed country, 66 of them in the world.

Silly post.Silly argument.
Yes tends to be.
For your information regarding disputed countries, the thing that is being disputed is the country. Just to make it clearer for you, In Northern Ireland's case, that dispute would be regarding the country Northern Ireland.

And are you's going to start arguing that England/Scotland/Wales are not countries? You can get all technical with sovereign states/countries, or you could also start talking about constituent countries. Sorry folks, but whatever you seem to thinkor whatever little loophole you may find which might state otherwise, it is a country. It has it's own government, which now actually has power to make calls on many (not all before you start) issues that actually matter.

Simply letting Aerlik know, it is a country.

It's a recognised country.

After looking at my "Northern Irish" passport, I then checked with Brussels, and they stated that it was a recognised country and definitely not a disputed part of the UK

Whatever. Fact is it's a country, anyone who says otherwise is deluded.

Frankel quite possibly the best we have ever seen. He is beating classy horses comfortably.

DH I see First Lieutenant running today at the 4.30 at Cork. Thinking of backing him do you think he is a good thing?Oscar Dan Dan is a classy hurdler surely if his chasing debut goes smoothly he would be one to watch?

Surely De Valira at 9/1 is the value in the race. Already won chasing, can go on the ground and Ruby on board.

Been placing in grade 3 last two times out and it's very hard to give him more than each way chances in this company IMO this time round (ran just three days ago as well), bear in mind that is me just looking at some basic results. Don't know much about First Lieutenant to be honest. I have seen a right bit of Oscar Dan Dan and if he takes to chasing he shouldn't be far away. Though anything I have been reading in past 10 minutes is backing FL strongly, plus from what I have read on here in past month or so.

Hope you backed it!

Seriously, how many times have England played India recently, no matter what the type of game. I actually have not stopped seeing England v India on BBC Sport the past couple of months.

DH maybe you were right! But the way he came through that field was pretty impressive. If he had been ridden differently I definitely think that was their for the taking. Still in shock at that ride.
