The United Kingdom, England, Great Britain? Are these three the same place? - Chess Forums - Page 2

Edit: I know the answer to the question that is the topic subject ... or maybe I just think I do. The question is about flying the flag of the island of Great Britain since Great Britain is not a country. http://www.enchantedlearning.com/europe/britain/flag.shtml ***********************************

And to think these are the people that managed to hold together a global empire.

Many people in the Chess.com UK Tournament fly the Union Flag not the Union Jack (only when it is flown on a boat is it the Union Jack :P)

And another fact is that the flag should be flown with the larger white section going clockwise and the smaller white section anticlockwise. The opposite way round is a sign of distress.

For sure Ireland is not one of them no more. This is fact. But you may notice if an Irish person does well in any sport England will try and claim him.

Since pepsifreyja refers to England when responding to a post about the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland it appears we have learned nothing here. Let us hope he was having a bit O'Fun.

By quoting a Union Flag post the them in "For sure Ireland is not one of them no more." refers to The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

That us why in the second sentence "But you may notice if an Irish person does well in any sport England will try and claim him.", I gave you credit for cleverly poking fun at the subject of the topic by using the word England when meaning The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Since you decline my draw offer, I resign.

I am still poking fun at it, You must be able to laugh at yourself???

I accept your resignation?? but you should not resign so easily. Wait until you have run out of moves.
