For those out of the loop, NI/6 counties = counties in Northern Ireland (the UK part)

[KaiserPro → jan_Inkepa]

Sorry, yes I should have been more explicit.

In the UK we call it Northern Ireland, in some/most[1] parts of Ireland its called "the 6 counties".

[1] I only have a limited frame of reference here

I've also heard 'the Northern counties' or just 'up North' for what it's worth.

Being from the ROI I call NI a third world country.

lol, parts of Dublin are worse than anything I've seen in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland is far from a third world Country, don't believe everything you see on TV, come up and visit us and see for yourself :)

Yeah I was exaggerating, I just wish it wasn't so messed up up there. Years of intergenerational violence have really done a number on some places.

Hah, if that isn't the perfect illustration of the folly selecting your data to support your argument.

No doubt N Ireland is lovely. Dublin is too. A lot of people of the world be thrilled at the opportunity to live in either place.

And I'm sure both have worse parts, since every sizable settlement needs a less desirable part to concentrate it's less desired residents.
