This is great. Mallodope is going to argue that Belfast isn't in Ireland, but instead is in Northern Ireland. This is like saying that Mason City is in northern Iowa, but not in Iowa.
It's hard to believe that she can feed herself. But entertaining.
Ah, you recognize Belfast is in Northern Ireland. That's a good start. Now note that Northern Ireland is part of the U. K., not a part of Ireland. Whereas northern Iowa is a part of Iowa which makes your comparison bloohy.
Actually, Belfast is the capitol of Northern Ireland and Dublin the capitol of Ireland. One has no jurisdiction over the other.
I hope that clears it up for you. No need to thank me. The pleasure has been all mine.
I have little trouble feeding myself. Tie my own shoes too.
How about yourself?
