Technically Northern Ireland is not a constituent country, it's officially just part of the UK proper. But that gets really confusing. This is also the reason it has no official flag.
Yeah this is true, N. Ireland is vaguely defined officially.
Before I check, let's see if I'm right....
England....wales....Ireland....Scotland....and I don't think northern Ireland is considered part of the UK since it's independent. Gonna look it up now.
I got it backwards. Apparently Ireland is the independent one, northern Ireland is part of the UK. How embarrassing for me.
Also, it's the berenstain bears not berenstien.
You shouldn't feel embarrassed at all. Pretty much used the scientific method on your own memory
You basically said "I might be wrong but I want to test my knowledge. Whoops, turns out I was wrong! Here is the result"
You could have doubled down and made excuses or straight up deleted your comment but no, you called yourself out. If anything, you should be proud lol
Hey, at least you got there in the end and you got Wales - which is better than some, see this example
I wonder what country they think England is a part of.
Britain, Britain, Britain
Chill, it's just Riley Freeman. We love him, but that n***a is stupid, man.
When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.
