1707,The Acts of Union, passed by the English and Scottish Parliaments in 1707, led to the creation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain ,ununited kingdom of not so great britain now. we must also marvel at the idea of calling a country "great" which i am sure we were,even if not now!

Now you're doing it! :p

"Great" Britain means "Bigger" Britain not "better" Britain.

We're bigger than Brittany (the other "Britain") :p

Here's a video explanation from a genuinely great, british comedian

And while I was finding that here's another misuse of language people should be aware of ;)

one of my points =we are not united kingdom without scotland ,but we are still great britain without scotland? thus meaning that the name we are being forced to use is not correct and should be changed ?

i'm not worried at all but basically the biggest fraud in history is being pulled off right now around us and we might as well face that fact.. daylight robbery right in front of our eyes and the people are too gutless or more likely brainwashed and numbed(distracted) to do anything about the lead up to them losing all their remaining perceived rights..

for me, the central issue is FEAR.

we're taught from birth to give ourselves up to the status quo ... to what is already in existence ... our family for example.

thus, when we 'stand out from the crowd' ... when we will NOT go along with the status quo ... we feel fear, loneliness, isolated.

to feel comfortable we 'stay with the strength' ... with the Mass, with the Herd.

our multilayered brains see us with reptillian responses (fight/flight, sex, shelter, food) ... mammallian responses (to have family, to belong) ... and human responses (thinking). but thinking is HARD ... takes energy.

much less energy is expended when we respond automatically with fight/flight and when we align ourselves (hopefully invisibly) with what the herd wants ...

that way we have more energy remaining to enjoy food, shelter and sex.

moo! baaa! heehaw!

Surely the scots can post in both but welsh and english and N. Irish should just post here?

Of course well all actually know that it really doesn't matter and we have american guys posting here and I've been on german and austrian threads so really just post where you feel at home with the company...

my main worry is that it is so low down on the flags,

Maybe should change the name to 'AAA UK' then? Did wonders for the rep of the last entity who did that :tiphat:

and bloody scotland is above us,sort of ironic !.but surely we deserve to be higher up the flags than stone last !

know your place wee man, we've always been above you! It's the way the map works :biggrin:

make it England and you'll be near the top, hehe.

I know I'm late to the party but
Albion. "ALBEEEUUUU-UUUUN"

But the alphabet doesn't come into it, otherwise the US forum would be down here with us.

United Kingdom implies Great Britain anyway, because the full title is "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"
