also Isle of Wight & Isle of Anglesey, but not Isle of Man, and not British Channel Islands in English Channel near to France, and not inluding Republic of Ireland.

I am Irish living in Dublin but I am a British citizen and have a British passport because my mother was born there.

I want to go to university there so how do I get in? I would like an arts degree with maybe English and History. The system is different in Ireland than in the UK they don’t have the leaving cert in UK like they do in Ireland.

So how would I get in? Would I have to go for interviews or something?

According to the Wikipedia article, 15,000 pounds were spent on the construction of Beaumaris Castle around 1295. I’d like to know what the amounts to in today’s pounds, or even better, Canadian dollars, with references.
Thanks!

I’ve noticed a lot of Welsh, Irish, Northern Irish and Scottish people always deny themselves as part of Britain, a lot of them hate and criticise England, are disgusted by being under the same category as it, and from what I’ve seen online, almost every Irish, Scottish and Welsh person brag about their culture, have usernames related to it and go on and on about themselves and their country.

Do you see me or any English people coming online, slagging off the Welsh, Irish or Scottish, writing stuff in Cornish, going on about English history and pride in our culture and giving ourselves usernames to do with England? NO, YOU DON’T.

It’s OK to love your culture and take pride in your country, I do take pride in England and I also have admiration for the Scottish, Welsh and Irish and I do truly feel that we are all British united (Ireland needs to join Britain, they’re just making excuses to not be involved with the English because its a self-obsessed nation). We’re all part of the same thing and I don’t know why non-English Brits or Irish hold things against us for events that happened centuries ago, or deny themselves to be connected to us and part of Britain and thinking of Britain as “England” simply. I find it unfair.

Now I imagine I’ll be getting Scots, Welshmen and Irishmen on here having a go at me, going on about how great their culture is and how England is an atrocity.

The study of food in literature complicates established critical positions. Both a libidinal pleasure and the ultimate commodity, food in fiction can represent sex as well as money and brings the body and the marketplace together in ways that are sometimes obvious and sometimes unsettling. Spilling the Beans explores these relations in the context of late eighteenth and early nineteenth century women’s fiction, where concerns about bodily, economic and intellectua… More >>
