@HangBlaa @theiaincameron I think your prejudice is affecting your judgment. Britain was an accepted abbreviation for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The secession of part of Ireland didn’t change that.

@KFeeOD @theiaincameron Britain refers solely to the large island between Ireland and continental Europe. Britain is not an abbreviation of the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland, it’s the larger part of said UK. Northern Ireland is part of Ireland, just not under Irish control. YET

Here is a clear and jargon-free (coughs) description of the differences between, Britain, Great Britain, the U.K., Ireland, and the British Isles. 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇮🇪 Scotland, England, and Wales make up Britain (or Great Britain). This is the larger of the two islands. The United Kingdom (UK) is Britain and a country of the island of Ireland (Northern Ireland) together. Ireland is, as we have said, the other island. But Ireland itself is made up of two countries: The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. This odd situation is compounded by a good many Northern Ireland residents who insist on calling themselves British. (We’ll leave the politics of that out of this post…) Both the islands of Ireland and Britain combined are called the British Isles in a geographic sense. But this framing is contested by many Irish residents, who dislike the term British, for exactly the same reason that some Northern Irish folk love it. Following so far? Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland all have individual national soccer teams. In rugby, however, Ireland play as one team. Confused? It gets worse. At the Olympics, athletes from Northern Ireland can represent Team Ireland or Team Great Britain (there is no U.K. Olympic team). Oh, and let us not forget the Isle of Man. Despite being slap-bang in the middle of Northern Ireland and Great Britain, it doesn’t form part of the U.K., but it is in the British Isles. Happy to have cleared all that up.

A gift today from a colleague. It’s supposed to be me! A reminder of an image I won’t be sporting in my imminent retirement.

@oakroyd Where I had my first restaurant curry. And many more happy visits after that. A great loss to the city.

@dj_forrester @scotgov I have many friends, family, colleagues, and neighbours who are English. I find it offensive that Scottish Nationalists suggest they are less kind, welcoming, and giving than Scots.

Scotland is more than just a name, it’s a way of living and being. Kind, welcoming and giving.

@oakroyd “The best in the west”. You could walk through from the Gardner Street entrance and come out through the toy department in what looked like a separate shop on Dumbarton Road. There was another bit across Gardner St, and another bit across Dumbarton Rd.

@mangereman I didn’t know that. Just checked. Simone Signoret died in September 1985, so that would be right.

IMHO, the Greatest Film of All Time (counts as one choice). Made consecutively by the same director and crew, with the same cast (bar title characters), in the same location; two halves of the same novel; and they make no sense separately. 🎞️

@Glinner My local cinema ran Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources recently, from 1985/86. Wow among the best movies I have ever seen, just glorious

@mangereman Have you read the book? Also brilliant. Alas, I’ve only read it in translation, as my French isn’t good enough.

@KFeeOD Can’t argue. The acting was out of this world, Emmanuelle Beart looked like an angel, the whole film looked gorgeous, what more needs to be said

@mangereman One of his last film performances, and his best. The Papet is at the centre of the whole thing, which is why the ending is so poignant.

@tirnaog_09 @JamesWi886 Qualifying for the last 16 of the World Cup - in ‘74 and ‘78 - is an achievement equalled by no Scotland team since then. Very nearly the last 8 on both occasions. The ‘70s was a historical peak.

@JamesWi886 Strange that Scotland's golden era (50s-80s) didn't produce a national team that did much?

Scotland in 1977 wearing one of their best kits. If you can name all of these guys you'll be as old as me :-)
