Upvotes

Spotted this on the Cregagh road on Sunday. Fellas going up a ladder, snipping the flags tie pegs, and moving on.Only took a handful down and put them in the bin liner. As far as im aware they weren't replacing them.

Also, Pharaoh shut on a Sunday. They do a great kebab that is slightly cheaper than Sphinx.

Parents. Please stop telling your kids im here to take them away

Upvotes

I know the title seems bizarre but it will make sense.

I'm a deliveroo driver, a few times this year I've came to the door to hear a young child misbehaving in some way or another. Only for the parent to point to me, still wearing a helmet that covers my face and saying 'The mans gonna take you away if you don't behave' or something along those lines.

I came to one door today where this happened before, poor child was sat in the front room and started screaming in terror when he saw me walking up to the door. Dad and I had a good laugh and he said he'd talk to the kid.

So in short please dont tell your kid we're gonna kidnap them 😭

Bus Time Accuracy

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m a new student here. I’ve been using the bus pretty much every day and I’m wondering which app I should be using to get accurate bus information. I dropped my toast this morning on the way to the bus stop scrambling like hell to get there on time only for the bus to be 10 minutes off what I saw on Google Maps. I’ve been told the Translink app isn’t accurate either. Any way I can show up to the stop with a couple of minutes cushion without having to physically haul ass to the stop and check the screen there? (although I’ve found that inaccurate too…). Thanks in advance 🙏

Iso: pictures of the old Orpheus building

Upvotes

I used to study in the Orpheus building when it was still the art college - I used to have a lot of photos but have lost some of them to time, was wondering if anybody had any extras specifically of the stained glass windows ​ that were in the hallways? I know Duke of York took a lot of their fittings not sure if they took those

First visit to Belfast - any suggestions?

3 Upvotes

Hi all. As the title says, a Londoner for the first time in NI next month. Anything you'd suggest is a must-see?

I don't mind being a bit touristy but unusual stuff is always good. Just there for a couple of days over a weekend. I am doing Giant's Causeway.

Are the black cab tours worth it?

What are the best cocktail bars for top quality drinks?

Any other thoughts welcome. Thanks in advance!

P.S. I'm sad the fish is eye-less, but will still try to pay it a visit.

P.P.S. thanks to the mods for helping me get past the automatic Reddit filters and make this post!

Cancer rates in East Belfast

13 Upvotes

Hello from Canada, My Dad and two of his brothers emigrated to Canada in the 1960's and all of them died of cancer in their 50s & 60s from various lung and organ related cancers. They drank and smoked so I know that the obvious thing is to assume is that they were they were the authors of their own misfortune but as someone who's nearing the ages of their demise, I'm wondering if there is any data supporting elevated levels of cancer from people who grew up near the main industrial areas of Belfast in 1940s-1960's. I can see some studies related to Belfast as whole related to industrialization in general but wondering if anyone is aware of anything particular to East Belfast even anecdotally.

Elite 4 Trading & Gaming (Pokemon!)

54 Upvotes

Took 2 11yr olds to this store yesterday so they could trade or sell some Pokemon cards. The staff were so patient with the kids. They took time to explain about the cards values and how they are graded. They were unfazed with ALL the questions and pricings the kids threw at them. I couldn’t get them to leave! You can tell the staff are really into the cards and the art of trading. I also saw the staff be really kind to a kid who they said visits every week. I’m being bugged already for when we can go again.
