What does?

And that was DW doing it's intermittent "losing a post with YouTube in it" thing. Fixed now.

Had you read the note in the last DW update about Youtube embedding? http://dw-news.dreamwidth.org/28101.html
I was wondering if that was the cause of your problems posting vids.

These are old style embeds. Both DW and LJ seem to have the same glitch that intermittently loses posts with embeds in them.

Nothing? Yes, I have to agree.

[andrewducker]

Fixed!

Aww, here was me hoping you were being all profound.

Also, the above leaves out Alderney, which has some self governance, but is part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey.

Aww, I liked the "Nothing explains everything" idea a lot. ;)

There is one significant complication it does not address: most Irish people do NOT accept that all those islands off the north-west part of Continental Europe should be called "the British Isles". The video accepts the British terminology which the Irish (rightly) assume hides a political agenda...

What would the Irish call them, then? (Note: I'm not trying to dispute, just a Texan who's curious.)

Also, the 26 counties aren't called 'The Republic of Ireland' The nation's name is Ireland.

I found myself wincing at the choice of orange for Northern Ireland and the "fact" that only people from (Southern) Ireland are Irish.

This reminds me of a fascinating book I read a few years back called Outposts. There are some fascinating places in the world, which even today are not easy to visit.
