I am extremely late with my LBC post this week. My apologies are due to my fellow LBC bloggers. It seems that Blogger and my kids conspired to prevent me from posting this last Friday evening. That is a pity, because this is a post I had very much looked forward to writing and sharing. Twenty years ago, there was an Indian student called Vinay, studying medicine in my native Dublin. His family were based in England and this is how he came to be studying in Dublin. Vinay was very impressed with how friendly his Irish fellow students were. Every Friday evening they would drag him along to the pub, where they bought drinks for him all night. He was overwhelmed with their friendliness and kindness and decided that Ireland was definitely the place to be. He succeeded in saving a fair bit of money too, because he didn't have to spend any money on the nights out. After a few weeks, however, something seemed to change. The Irish friends weren't quite as friendly as they use
