What hardware do you use the most?

Lemme guess, you went to Wales? Don't go to Wales.

Is Wales the Kentucky of England?

Spend most of my time in Liverpool/Merseyside but I also went to Wales.

Is Wales the Kentucky of England?

No, because Wales isn't in England, but Kentucky is in America.

Yep that explains it, they haven't figured out doors just yet in certain places in Liverpool. After the Beatles left they got upset.

Aye, Wales is in the UK, but it's not in England.

I like to use UK, GB and England all together and apart at times just to screw with people who don't know the difference.

Canada is in America, but it isn't in the US...

Liverpool has definently gotten worse over time, not as bad as Brixton, not even close, but still..

Look at me, thinking Wales was part of England. I bet Prince Charles made Diane Princess of Wales just because it wasn't part of England. And I bet's that true, because some tramp can't just marry into England, amirite?

Hey people,

What hardware/ tech do you use more than anything else.
For me it's a MacBook Air and an iPhone.

P.S. Please don't reply with "my most used hardware is my cock"... not amusing.

You wish.

Well, they are in buildings older than your nation so i suppose we should really know what a doorknob is, shouldn't we?

However, we discovered that door handles are better, requires less effort on the mechanism and last far longer. One day we'll teach our colonies about them, this is not that day.

In case you haven't visited this side of the pond, uh, ever... it should be noted that door handles are just as easily found here as, well... um.. other easily found things... not as common as doors themselves, but I hope this is understood. I mean, some doors don't even have anything to grip! Wacky, eh?

BTW, I find it both hilarious and almost disturbing there is a discussion of the mechanisms which operate latches and in general provide a point of grip in which is used to open a door.

What next, do we return to the debate over paper versus coin currency? Or, egad! the use of physical currency versus the debit-card?



Hmm... can we consider any of that hardware? I'd hope to keep on-topic, so if we are to delve into those topics, can we get it over with?

Paper is better, because carrying coins is an annoying burden. But carrying plastic is better, because carrying paper cash is only slightly less annoying that coinage, yet more annoying than a simple swipe. And you know, I can't build up rewards with physical currency, and the dreadfully-slow reward rate is better than zero - free money is awesomely free.

The UK or GB consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

That doesn't mean that Wales is part of England anymore than it means that Canada is part of the US, Wales and England ARE part of the UK though, and both the US and Canada are part of North America.

Of course i know that, i'm just messing with IronWing.

There is no government of England, the royal family is not tied to only England.
The royal family is the royal family of all the Kingdom.

I might be wrong about that, because I find the whole thing laughable, but... yeah, I shall soon find out.

Am I right, chums?

I was just trying to joke about the royalty, man. So Great Britain can just be considered the same as North America? US, Canada, and Mexico have very different governments that are sovereign, is the same true for GB nations?

Edit: I guess maybe Canada still answers to the queen.

Yeah I figured... I'm in a facetious mood tonight.

You know... you can have Canada if you like. Really, I insist. She does fancy your queen, after all.

GB is only the term of the main island in the UK, Ireland is the other. Oh, and only the country Northern Ireland, on the island of Ireland, is actually part of the UK.

Their system is one hell of a mess to most of us outsiders, I give you that. I don't even believe I have a full grip on the chaos that is the order of their part of the world.

If I have it remembered correctly, no single entity in the UK is sovereign - only the entire kingdom in its entirety is considered a sovereign state.

To make matters more confusing, England has no government, they are governed directly by the UK's government, and that's it.

I'm not even entirely sure on the state of Canada's role in the world. I mean, besides being our friend-bitch, I'm not certain if Canada is a sovereign state.

I'm glad I'm not the only confused one, and I try to seek out answers. I guess I should just visit south Ireland to minimize my confusion.

1. iPhone
2. MacBook (work PC)
3. MacMini (home PC)

In that order.

No, they do have some independence but not like Canada, US and i believe Mexico is actually the United States of Mexico which is independent from either of course.

Canada still bows to our Queen, i think that is ridiculous but it's tradition that no one really cares about and that makes money for some people, you know how that works i'm sure.

There have been a bit of controversy, especially in Northern Ireland but also in Scotland, Sean Connery made a big deal about it a few years back, he's like the Mel Gibson of the UK.

Anyway, i know you're not a daft man, sorry if it seemed like i was trying to school you.

Most likely my 23" WS Acer LCD monitor.

Canada is a soverign state but part of the British commonwealth just like Australia and a whole heap of other nations (there are 54 of them, i don't want to type them all out but it's easy to find the list) but just like those other nations it is a soverign nation. These days the former British commonwealth is known as the Commonwealth of Nations.

I hope that clears it up a bit, i do understand that it can be a bit hard to understand and trust me, it's not just for you US folks, ask anyone in any EU nation not part of the Commonwealth of Nations and they'd have the same questions you do.

If not for France, you wouldn't have had to wonder though... Damned Frenchmen spoiling our glorious plans for the new world...

You Brits and Frenchies, never will get along will you? I agree though, the french ruin everything.

Love your posts.

Although you get a lot of flak here on ATot, I sincerely do appreciate your posts and viewpoints that often times differ from us yanks.

Please don't stop posting. It really is refreshing to see/read what you guys across the pond think too. (This also goes for you Aussie dudes too.) (Post moar plox, Aquaman.)

No offense was taken, it's just a tricky system. I think I have some more clarity now. The countries in the UK, are Best friends forever, but then there is a commonwealth of nations that is like the clique of BFF's. America has no BFF's, only friends, and no one willing to say they're in a commonwealth with us. GB is the cool kids, America is the loner(that desperately wants everyone to be their friends), and the rest of the world doesn't take a shower.
