England

but since its such a huge list: the computer, matches, jet engine, movie cameras and projectors, theories of DNA, gravity, evolution, modern atomic theory, trains, bikes, screw propellors, tanks, rugby, cricket, tennis, golf (ok scotland but close enough), plastics, crosswords, how to cure scurvy, modern nursing, vaccines, cast iron, commerical glass, tin cans, lottery, modern post, microchip, economic steam engines, spinning jenny, pencils, radio.
Just the basic ones, sorry but all the US posts annoyed me.

well i'm from scotland, we invented televison, so like we win the thread right?
just in case you want more:
first colour photo
produced the first model of electromagnatisim in 1864
radar
the adhesive postage stamp
logarithems
hypnotism
nobel gases
ultra sound scanner
MRI body scanner
penicillin
beta-blockers
the refrigerator
flush toilet
electric clock
ghillie suit
there's plenty more i've not even got on to food, i mean how about haggis and the world famous deep fried mars bar

Here is a list of invention by Irish people both Republic and North. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Irish_inventions_and_discoveries] There are many others such as Poitín and the first experimental verifaction of E=mc[sup]2[/sup] was the joint work of the Irish and Americans. It was also the first fission I think. Well there was another but that was more accidental and wasn't even taken into account(I think Rutherford's experiment did this but he didn't pay attention to it nor was looking for it).

Australia:
1838- The Refrigerator (was commissioned by a brewery that wanted a machine to cool it's beer)
1858- Football (specifially AFL), the first ten rules were written down and these predate the rules of Soccer, Rugby and Gridiron
1900's- The swimming stroke now called "Freestyle" or "Overarm"
1902- The Notepad
1906- First feature length film, The Story of the Kelly Gang, was little over an hour long (figures it was about a criminal, which happens to be our national hero of sorts)
1922- Vegimite, as much as you tourists hate it, it's the best stuff to have on toast
1924- Car Radio
1934- The Ute
1940- Zinc Cream
1945- The Hills Hoist, or "the swing clothes line"
1957- Trousers with a permanent crease
I'm gonna stop there, but if you feel inclined to look it up, you'll see that Australia has actually improved many inventions and layed the foundations (but never patented the ideas) that other countries *coughAmericacough* now take the credit for
