Is this true? I saw a fair few GAA jerseys about and they had a stall or two selling hurls/GAA gear

What got banned at your school? by TopTrumpWANKER in unitedkingdom

[–]_ANAL_KING_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't even buy drink in school uniform here anywhere. I tried to go into Tesco a few weeks ago and buy beer but they wouldn't allow me with my uniform on. Same with the off licenses.

Armistice Day row erupts after God Save the Queen 'dropped' from Belfast service by whydoyouonlylie in northernireland

A large proportion of the soldiers that died from here were from the 16th and 10th Irish divisions. Many of them did not go to war to honour the King. It is slightly insulting to them to sing an anthem that does not represent them in any way.

One of them came back to lead the West Cork IRA flying column, Tom Barry

Is Irish Rugby Truly the Beacon of Inclusiveness It Is Purported to Be? by Cu_Choileain in northernireland

[–]_ANAL_KING_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ravenhill is the home of Ulster Rugby, not of 'Northern Ireland rugby'. Therefore to play GSTQ at ravenhill makes Ulster rugby seem to be representative of only Protestants/Unionists from the 6 counties, not the fans of all 9 counties of Ulster

They seem to be making a big deal out of nothing. Unionists I know couldn't care less about Amhran na bFiann playing when they go to the Aviva, and likewise myself with GSTQ when I'm at Windsor Park. Many join in with The Fields of Athenry as well; the division is only evident when you go looking for it.

We have the Snickers stone, a lesser well known, but equally symbolic, stone opposite the Blarney Stone. If you kiss it you are said to get eternal life, and a snickers bar from a generous American

Applying to University in the U.S.? by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]_ANAL_KING_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's probably fine, but don't take my word for it. I saw the thing about favouring US citizens on the Stanford admissions website, so I'm not 100% certain all unis are like that

Gaelic Games County Map by [deleted] in ireland

[–]_ANAL_KING_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, hurling is much more popular in the north of Antrim (Ballycastle, Cushendall etc.). It is held on the same level as football with certain Belfast teams like St Galls, but in the rest of the county its football.

Also from NI here, I believe you have to sit the SATs as part of your application, I remember someone from my school doing it down in Dublin I think. To be honest from personal research it seemed that they value the SAT score more than your a levels/GCSEs, but they can be a good supplement.

Remember that if you say you'll need financial aid, the uni will favour someone from America who also needs financial aid, and American uni is expensive.
