my solution

In which I offer a solution to the problems geographical, ontological, touristic and cyber-spatial of northern Ireland.

First off Locate Ireland.
http://www.osi.ie/mapping/maps/index.shtml
now think where northern Ireland is.

remember that Ireland's ordinance survey are really the inheritors of the military surveys of bombarding with precision bits of land mostly used previously by hungry locals with mortars, called "ordinance" by the military types.

So since I am a "pacifist" an "an@rko-pacifist" as in I don't go totting shooters when I protest I shall choose not direct the esteemed reader to the ordinance survey.

ask someone else....
Mr Simon Stewart!

Look at his little map.
where is northern Ireland?
it is north of squares L M N O & P.
which means...
Mayo, Roscommon, Sligo, Westmeath (queen's county), Lietrem, (no foreigner may spell it- and the longer you live without Eire the less you can letter Leitrim), Longford, (they all commit suicide), Louth (very small, lots of THORP, the great IndymediaIrlanda eamonn comes from there) together with Ulster are there.

curious reader perhaps a foreign reader unfamiliar with our placenames and the spelling of Leiterum interrupts....

Q. Where is Ulster?
A. do try and stay on thread.

Since 614 and the decisive battle of Moira after which the great gobshite Suibhne went mad dribbling mad like completely gibbering skizo, and lived in a tree for seven years, Ulster has been that part of northern Ireland which isn't Scotland or _·"scottish"·_

-don't we make it easy??=?=?=¿?

because northern Ireland is "·_____case sensitive______·" asking someone where it is might get different responses, but "googling" or indeed "ungoogling" for it shall get the same response.

Yes, those monsters at internet global cultural and national indentity central have equated northern Ireland with Northern Ireland.

Northern Ireland is different from "n"-orthern Ireland.

I shall some other day give you my solutions for Northern Ireland, though judging after the last time I answered any "community" need for "participation" I don't think I'll pressure myself.

So moving on, if you are a tourist, in Ireland, "on" ireland for the summer, should you worry about the "am I in Northern Ireland/northern Ireland/western Ireland question?".

DO YOU SPEAK OUR LANGUAGE?
possible answers: 1 yes I do.
====================mahogonygaspipe
//////////////////2 no I don't, I am a victim of anglo-imperialist cultural programming and I do not understand the difference between Derry and Londonderry.

*****€ would you visitor to our land, please stay on thread, we shall discuss Derry/Londonderry another time.

I could go on, but in my multiple meaning "i am not mad I am rather a noted eccentric" style it is difficult to sustain "words"
