A subject which has piqued me, and numerous others, is the confusion between England, United Kingdom, Great Britain, Ireland, Commonwealth and the associated labyrinths of geo-socio-political phrases. Can you refer you to a person from London as British? Or a Scotsman as a citizen of the United Kingdom? Or why for that matter is the difference in the 'classes' of countries that participate in the Commonwealth Games? Who are the British Overseas Territories and what constitutes the Crown Dependencies?
That's when I came across this video that not only answered all of my queries but also put in some questions in my mind and answered them as well! It's a sincere advice to all of you to take out 5:15 minutes and go through this video, you will not regret it.
P.S: In case you prefer text over video (though I still suggest go for the latter) you can read the entire script here.

one of the most interesting videos i have seen recently. however, the fact that its getting cut off due to your template width is a bit of an irritant. A tiny one though :)
Thanks for linking to my video. I'm glad you liked it.
@Nags - One of the most helpful videos I have seen as well. Regarding the formatting issue that's because I moved my blog from 2 column to 3 column following some hack (before we had readymade 3 column templates). You can always watch it on full screen:)
@Grey - Thank you so much for the very informative video and explanation.
Wonderful video. It really interested to see. Thanks for such a wonderful blog.
