apparently, Irsay also owns the original manuscript of Kerouac's "On The Road," which set him back a cool $2.5 million. he used to hang with hunter s. thompson, and he gives millions to charities for people with disabilities. wow. wealthy, generous and cool.

pi is overrated.

although, the clap may have more to do with his having dated paris hilton, than the song itself

so, what did ya choose to see?

havent yet. all thots still welcome.

both shows are appealing for many reasons. ive seen both bands before and like them both a lot. i'd normally lean towards bug-eyed ween, but the riverboat deal is mighty tempting, and denson wailing while floating along would be pretty unique.

So the question is, what do we call these entities.

"land masses inhabited by persons who have created good music"?

scotland: simple minds, travis, teenage fanclub, the proclaimers, etc.

wales: stereophonics, manic street preachers, the alarm, badfinger, etc.

northern ireland: the corrs, u2, van morrison, etc.

england: nothing good has ever come from england.

wow, who said that she can create legislation? you seem to be unwilling to acknowledge any merit in the theoretical argument that a legal ability to refuse to pass legislation IS an ability to affect things, however unlikely it might be to actually occur. this is a well situated debate amoung canadian political scientists. when Michaelle Jean was appointed as GG in 2005, nationalists raised concerns about her and her husband's past support for quebec sovereignty wondering whether an alleged separatiste should possess the power of the position. this is not a trivial debate, and an outright dismissal of a contrary viewpoint is disappointing.

and yeah, this should be over in the politics forum.

Royal Assent is a signature, it doesn't mean that the Queen or another legislative body can inflict their will on Canadians.

it most certainly does mean that she can inflict her will on Canadians by instructing the GG to refuse to sign 'whatever'. in fact, several LGs have refused royal assent, as recently as the 1950s. is it likely that a GG would refuse royal assent today? not at all. but it is still theoretically possible. and some quebec sovereigntists lament that this power could be put to the test if legislation would ever be introduced to make quebec a separate country. that's one of the reasons quebec refused to sign the constitution act - it effectively still allowed an outsider to have a say in our governance.

You're taking a very simple approach to this. Do you think the UN is a country because we have an ambassador too?

yep, thats what im saying. simple me. and angelina jolie and david beckham represents the sovereign goodwill countries of hollywood and soccer, respectively. doh!

Just doesn't make sense to me that they are all independent countries, but yet they still report to someone higher who was ultimate control over them.

canada still requires royal assent for passage of federal legislation. so, is canada not an independent country? in fact, as stupid as it sounds, one could argue that the queen is more constitutionally entrenched in canada than she is in the UK because of the constitution act of 1982 requiring unanimous provincial support for succession from our constitutional monarchy. the queen is here to stay.

Southern Ireland hasn't existed as a legal entity since 1922

ok, "Ireland" or "Éire" or "Republic of Ireland" then, as opposed to "Northern Ireland". and here "republic" simply means screw the monarch.

i work with the world health organization a lot and it considers england, wales, northern ireland and scotland to all be part of the 'united kingdom of great britain'. britain is akin to UK. england has no more status than the other three, although many people incorrectly equate england with britain. england is part of britain. southern ireland is a separate deal altogether. technically, there are five countries there, with four of them being part of one kingdom. each of the four is "ruled" by britain but does possess many separate legal rights, like issuing their own currencies. i would list five countries:

England

Scotland

Wales

Northern Ireland, and

Southern Ireland.

although, with Guelph maintaining its country status on the list for almost a day now, im not so sure any of us has it right.

so, nobody here has been to australia or new zealand? wow. surprizing.
