Great Britain is a shortening of the above name.
England is the lower part of the island.
Thank you. Does the UK passport say UK of GB? Also, doesn't Ireland have an autonomous "rule", meaning, don't they have their own parliament and stuff? Or is Ireland different from northern ireland?
Should I be starting a new thread?

I can't remember offhand but yes, I think my passport says United Kingdom of Great Britain
Mind you, the FULL name is United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The rest of Ireland has it's own ruling - In 1948 Ireland withdrew from the British Commonwealth (except Northern Ireland)
Maybe we should start a new thread.

Did you watch Germany vs. Costa Rica? We were at the nearest bar watching the game and Germany scored a goal in the first minutes and then CR followed in about another 5 minutes. Pretty fast paced game. The best goals were the 3rd and 4th by Germany. The last goal by Frings was superb! From far away!
There was a group of women there who in my opinion were being a nuisance by constantly commenting on the player's great legs, though I'll have to admit it was kind of amusing. It's usually the guys who comment on women's legs. They were trying to grab the guys' attention away from the game but no guys gave in.

UK doesn't have a Euro passport? I remember there used to be 2 types of British passports subject and citizen. Still true?
