Future for the British Isles?

[InsaneApache]

Here it is, in short, Britain is broken up into smaller states, based on factors such as Historical reasons and Population. Each state has its own assembly, for regional management and administration. It then has an national parliament (based in Mann) which decides on factors such as Foreign policy and those which affect things on a national level.




* Don't get hooked on names and actual borders, they are a rough concept.

First off Yorksheers too small. It should be twice the size. Or I'll get the lads from Barnsley and Middlesborough to sort thee out. Northwest, north west? Pah! The historic county of Lancashire should be re-instated fifthwith. Also it goes too far south into Cheshire. We don't want those poofty southerner Cheshirites included. Now do we?

[Justiciar]

Indeed. Rather like pouring sweet shandy into an open syewer, that. And don't go sticking us in with those backwards Midlander chaps, either. As the great, good, peerless, and by no means tyrannical, simple, or wooftersome King Richard II recognised: Cheshire is a realm unto itself, quite superior to all around it. It should be recognised as such. Do otherwise, and our fine and upstanding Yeomanry will do to you as they did to the uppity and beclogged folk of Manchester two centuries ago!

Vive le garb d'or!

Pfft, you should have seen what my lot did to them a few years ago...

[Justiciar]

Too soon!

Seriously, I couldn't get to the Arndale for days after that. Not on.

Umm, the South-Western area should either be smaller and called "Dummonia", or larger and called "Wessex", where the South East (roughly defined by London as it's Eastern border).

Also, what's with pushing the Midlands so far North? Are you wood!

Well if Connacht gets to retake County Clare from Munster as is shown on that map then myself and Beskar can start sitting down haggling over price right now. Those interloppers the Dal gCais taking our rightful territory from the muintir Connachta.

Connacht Abu.

Yeah, there is some room for Improvement, the names and areas are just a rough guide. Wales is also far too east as well.

I am not too happy with "North West", too large and it has a high population per area as well, compared to lets say "Northumberland". It is a big improvement over my previous such picture though, which was devoid of important aspects such as population which was very uneven.



Hah! If we were in the position for such hagglings, I would be sending a letter to your office for those talks.

Free Orkney! We will not submit to the tyranny of the Highlanders!

Not trying to draw parallels or anything, this just reminded* me of a cult comedy TV show in Yugoslavia in the end of eighties, beginning of nineties - they were joking about how division of Yugoslavia would be impossible and ridiculed politicians for even thinking it.

* made me sad a little also

If it wasn't for that whole "cleanse Yugoslavia of non-serbs" issue, it might be around today. The dangers of nationalism.

Favorite quotes:

"Do you really think we were going to stop 100,000 Glaswegians wanting to have a drink?"

"Police involved in violent clashes. CCTV footage captures a lone officer being chased by a "baying mob" of about 200 fans."

"There are groaning bodies in the gutters. And still they fight."

"Early hours: ...Some Rangers fans have already started drinking again...Some never stopped."



Aww. Look at the cute gay couple. The one with the fag looks hurt:

Police: "I shan't hesitate to trash you, but my face will express concern for your human rights."

Rioter: "Very well constable. I shan't resist."

lol, if you look in the shield you can see the guys facial expression reflected in it.

I missed this outrage, and hereby serve notice that the President of Connacht better move his soft, republican tush out of Clare before Munster stirs. The Dalcassians shall arrive on your borders, naked and ready for war as at Clontarf, and though we be kings and sons of kings, their fury shall not be gainsaid.

Isn't this fun? Europe was so much more entertaining when we had these kind of "debates" over someone's map.

Umm, Banquo:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/10209

Widespread frost with icy roads in places. Outbreaks of snow affecting eastern parts of Scotland and eastern, central and southern England, drier and brighter in west. Feeling very cold in the strong northeasterlies with drifting snow in places.
Tonight

A bitterly cold night with a widespread frost under clearer skies in central and western parts of the UK. Outbreaks of snow across southern and northern England and eastern Scotland.
Thursday

A bitterly cold start with icy roads. Further snow showers in the east and parts of the south. Bright in the west. Winds easing, but remaining very cold.
Outlook for Friday to Sunday

Very cold throughout. Friday drier and brighter across much of the UK but sleet and snow push into western parts on Saturday and into southern counties for Sunday. Light winds.


I coin the phrase: Todgerpop.

Bah.

The Dalcassians were famed for running into battle stark naked with nought but a small weapon in hand. Granted, cold weather diminishes the effect somewhat, but a thousand naked Irishmen charging at one's lines with what one fervently hopes is just a blood lust in their eyes is enough to put the wind up most manly warrior types. Remember, around ten per cent of these chaps were ginger.

After Clontarf, this explains why Norwegians have a hereditary fear of red hair and turning their backs on an enemy.

That's debatable but let's leave it at that. No need to hijack the thread...

Not until page three. Then I'll post more English women.

I shall gather at Moore Hall with the O'Connors, O'Malleys and Burkes who shall supply troops as per treaty to my republican army then I shall hit for Tuam to obtain some light cavalry from the Tribesmen finally Admiral O'Malley shall sweep in from Achill to blockade the Shannon.

I have given orders that the bards of the connacht are to rewrite the lyrics of "The West's Awake"

When all beside a vigil keep,
The West's asleep, the West's asleep -
Alas! and well may Erin weep
When Connacht lies in slumber deep.
There lake and plain smile fair and free,
'Mid rocks their guardian chivalry.
Sing, Oh ! let man learn liberty
From crashing wind and lashing sea.

That chainless wave and lovely land
Freedom and nationhood demand;
Be sure the great God never planned
For slumb'ring slaves a home so grand.
And long a brave and haughty race
Honoured and sentinelled the place.
Sing, Oh! not even their sons' disgrace
Can quite destroy their glory's trace.

For often, in O'Connor's van,
To triumph dashed each Connacht clan.
And fleet as deer the Normans ran
Thro' Corrsliabh Pass and Ardrahan;
And later times saw deeds as brave,
And glory guards Clanricard's grave,
Sing, Oh! they died their land to save
At Aughrim's slopes and Shannon's wave.

And if, when all a vigil keep,
The West's asleep! the West's asleep!
Alas! and well may Erin weep
That Connacht lies in slumber deep.
But, hark! a voice like thunder spake,
The West's awake! the West's awake!
Sing, Oh! hurrah! let Dal Cais quake,
We'll watch till death for Erin's sake

I await thee on the on the plains outside Ennis the ability to control Co Clare has always been it's remit

This thread delivers.
