Where They Live...

It's been a while since I travelled across the Irish Sea to Northern Ireland, so I think another visit is well overdue!  I had touched on some of the basics in a previous post, but it's time to look at the most populous areas in the country...

All countries have historical events that they wish had never happened, and Great Britain is no different.  Also known as "Bloody Sunday", the Bogside Massacre is one of the less savoury episodes in British history.  On January 30, 1972, 14 civil rights protesters in Derry, Northern Ireland, were killed by soldiers of the British Army.

A Visit to Northern Ireland...

Today we embark on a video tour around Northern Ireland.

Today we make another trip across the Irish Sea, and have a look at some of the wonderful sights of Northern Ireland.

"King of the who?"

For many non-Britons (or non-"Brits"), that is not an uncommon question.  The problem is that people cannot always differentiate between the terms "English" and "British".  I will admit that sporting events do not always help matters, with England (and the other "Home Nations", as they are known) competing as individual nations in sports such as football and darts, but Great Britain competing in the Olympics.
