Misirlou ('Pulp Fiction' theme) on guitar, with pencils
Is it me or is Dick Dale playing the guitar upside-down?
He's a lefty. From Wikipedia:
"Since Dale was left-handed he was initially forced to play a right-handed model, much like Jimi Hendrix would do a few years later. However, he did so without restringing the guitar, leading him to effectively play the guitar upside-down (while Hendrix would restring his guitar) and often plays by reaching over the fretboard rather than wrap his fingers up from underneath. Even after he acquired a proper left-handed guitar, Dale continued to use his reverse stringing."

Ireland ≠ England
You're correct that Ireland is neither in, nor part of, England. However it's still part of the British Isles.
It can get a little confusing, but breaking it down as follows helps:
Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales. (But neither Northern nor Southern Ireland.)
The United Kingdom includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. (Southern Ireland being an independent country called the Republic of Ireland, also known as Eire.)
The British Isles, however, are made up of the islands of Great Britain, Ireland and the several surrounding smaller islands.
So although Ireland is not part of Great Britain it is still part of the British Isles and therefore "British".
I'm not privileged and can't re-add this back into the * British channel, (Not to be confused with the English Channel with the tunnel going under it), so hopefully someone else will.
