There are people on H2 who'ld be VERY upset about that post, especially the Friesland in Holland part.

No, there is a faction of people who insist that not all of the Netherlands should be called Holland.

Which parts? Belgium was once a part of the Netherlands after it broke away from Germany and France. And very few English words are actually English.

Which is what I've been saying, Norse, Saxon, Germanic, Fries, basically all those who've invaded our shores, that Eddie Izzard programme was really interesting

A bit like people who are upset about calling Northern Ireland part of the UK.

I guess that's a good way to discribe it, Personally (and it is a personal view) I think the terrorist groups in Ireland have forgotten wht they're supposed to be fighting for, this is more about religion now, the school protest thing last year springs to mind

The NI thing was never about religeon, it was about land. The Brits just used that as an excuse to persecute the Irish for centuries.

I thought the 6 counties of Ulster voted to remain part of Britain and the rest wanted to be free of Britains rule

No, only four voted to remain with Britain beacuase those areas had a Protestant majority and they figured that if they went over to the Republic, they would be treated like dirt, ie as they treated the Catholics. However, they also felt that a mere four counties would be too weak and so managed to wrangle another two into it, which drove the IRA nuts.
