Please solve a dinner debate: Is there a wall between......?

Question

Northern Ireland and the rest of Ireland? I mean a physical wall, like the one that used to divide east/west germany/

2 people in my family are fighting about this now. *shakes head*

Answer 1

well, not really a wall.

It's a 50ft high electric fence with 15 million volts going through it (hence all the dead sparrows on either side) and with barbed wire along the top to stop the pole vaulters.

Either side there is a 20ft wide moat full of crocodiles, plus gun towers every 20ft all the way along on both sides.

Set back 100yds from this are stationed the pygmies with poisened darts in their blowpipes.

IF anyone should manage to get through that lot, the final hurdle is the pipers.

They march up and down, day and night, playing the bag pipes. No known person has ever managed to break through this line - they've simply dropped to their knees with their hands over their ears, sobbing.

Now stop asking damn stupid questions - of course there's no wall.
Silly sod!

Answer 2

Are you speaking of Hadrian's Wall? Dividing Scotland from England? Perhaps this would be of interest if you are. The name is also sometimes used jocularly as a synonym for the border between Scotland and England, although for most of its length the wall follows a line well south of the modern border — and neither the Scoti tribe nor the tribes that would eventually become the English lived in Britain at the time of the wall's construction.
