That's because there IS resentment amongst Scots at being British because of the association with the English (that's a generalisation to be fair).

But Northern Ireland is a different story. There's lots of pro-British people in Northern Ireland (lots of anti British too). It's wrapped up in the divide between people who want to be part of the U.K. and those that don't, and I think that's somehow wrapped up in the Protestant catholic divide. I'll be honest that's where I start getting fuzzy on the details, and I'm not the best person to ask. But regardless, there are a lot of people in Northern Ireland who are proud to be British. But yeah I don't think there are many Scots.

The bold part is a real can of worms. I will point out that I have never really noticed any resentment towards English people, but we just prefer to be known as Scottish. It makes a lot of sense internationally, because so many people over the world use the word British but really just mean English. I've lived in Canada and in Japan, and I can't tell you how many times I've rolled my eyes at this.

The most egregious example was when I had a Japanese postal worker insist I write England under Scotland on a parcel I was sending. She told me "England is the country and Scotland is part of it, so you must write England or I can't accept this".

As for the northern Irish, I can't claim to be an expert, but I've never met one who called themselves British. I'll just have to take your word on it.

You can't release the controller without including the ferrit bead at the end of the cable.

It just wouldn't feel right it not being there.

I think I worded my comment badly but I basically meant what you said. There's a resentment that being British means being English.

Although saying you've never noticed the Scots disliking the English is interesting, and encouraging to hear. Although I don't really believe it, but that's probably just old English prejudices of "oh the Scots hate the English" that may not be true. I'll accept that.

Regardless, I do know that unionists are often happy to call themselves British.

I'm trying to find out if the controllers are USB or not cause I want Brook to make adapters for these so that I can use my fight stick on this damn thing.

Looks like it.

I know this is wildly off topic, but what the hell?

Do they really? I'm Scottish and I spent the first 22 years of my life in Scotland, but I can't say I've ever been aware of a Scottish person who calls themselves British. I've also never met an Irish person who does either. I've always been under the impression that most Scottish people resent being called British.

Very off topic, but 30 year old Scot here from the west coast and it's not really that uncommon to find folks call themselves British. There's obviously political and religious stuff mixed in there that I won't get into but we have folks here who will fly the union jack out front. You also have folks who would call themselves either because they just don't care/don't have a vested interest. I'd describe myself as Scottish but I could care less if someone described me as British.

If they're proud to be British, chances are they won't call themselves Irish

I grew up in Lanarkshire and moved to Glasgow at 17. I lived there until moving overseas when I was 22. I really can't say I know any Scot who calls themselves British. I guess it really just depends on your surroundings. Then again, most of my friends were left leaning, working class people and I never took an interest in football or religion. I'm proud to be Scottish, but with the exception of Government, I'm not one of those people who harbours ill will towards the English. I think we all have our own cultural identities, which is why I'm against being called British. If it's good for you, then fair enough.

Football fans here use cunt as a verb, it's great.

It's not just Football fans. I've lived overseas for 9 years and I've had to explain my use of the word cunt on a number of occasions when I've accidentally offended someone. And I fucking hate Football.

Only cunts get offended when you call them a cunt, it is known.

A different one than the one you live in.
