Actually it was pretty funny when I was harassing my local MP about the fact that there were no bursaries/funds/grants for Canadians studying in Ireland I was told, "oh you can apply for commonwealth scholarships" um...no...Ireland isn't in the commonwealth!
She then proceeded to tell me about all the other scholarships for students in the UK. Again. Republic of Ireland not a part of United Kingdom!! Hahahha.
Though yeah, it is something I hadn't really ever pondered until finding out that I was going to be living here! I was just teasing you because I know you were in London this year... :P

Just curious... can you get Grasshopper ale in the UK?
Good question...well I've only spent about 40h total in the UK and in that time did not attempt to order a Grasshopper.
In ROI I've always had Guinness or Bulmers...or other random pints of unknown origin that people have bought me! =)
*facepalm* Yes I knew that ROI is not part of the UK. I just thought "beer...Grasshopper..." and must have short circuited my brain.
Hahah, just giving you a hard time! :)
