This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I thought the bit in the north was a part of another country?

Interesting little ditty: At the time that phone was out, The Republic of Ireland held a constitutional claim on the whole island. Only with the peace process was it agreed to remove that claim.

It's calling it 'Derry' too so the phone is firmly taking a stance.
