Yep, like the statement says, it's far too confusing...which is why I never really say Great Britain. Britain seems to be a lot simpler, it is basically the UK. :good
Easy mistake man...to be honest, I've known this since school. But I've never been in the situation were I have had to explain it, like I said, it's too much hassle. You pointed out, why doesn't Great Britain include Northern Ireland, but Britain does...it is bull****.

The United Kingdom (UK) is often incorrectly referred to as England, Britain, or Great Britain. In fact, the UK is the union of four constituent countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The name United Kingdom is short for: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain refers to one of the two major islands that comprise the British Isles; it is made up of England, Scotland, and Wales. Not that it makes much of a difference as the majority of boxers from N. Ireland see themselves as Irish, not British.
