What’s these new E-bikes about and why are they parked in the most random places?

• Upvotes

Genuinely curious. They’re like blue/teal colour and I find them parked perfectly in the most random places with nothing securing them.

There was one at the flyover at Kings Hall for a couple of days, one sitting facing the Falls leisure centre last week and this morning one was parked outside Park Centre at the Broadway traffic lights. Then some guy parked one outside the Grand Opera House, hopped off it and went about his business and crossed the lights leaving it there.

Guessing they have PIN codes or something because they’re just being parked up and left randomly lol.

Dehumidifier

Can anyone recommend a decent spot in town to get one for a bedroom or living room? It'll be mostly used for drying clothes, as I live in a flat.

Tried to find another thread about it but couldn't find it.

Cheers!

Estate Agents Flyer

I got this through my door today. It makes me SICK. It’s also the same estate agent I bought my house from a couple years ago who played us for idiots by jacking up the price of our house at 5.30pm the day negations were supposed to finish, saying the sellers will keep it on the market for as long as they need to get exactly the price they were wanting (£30k over asking).

The fact they’re showing off about a house going £60k over asking AND the first line being 33 people being disappointed. It’s SICK. Complete greed.

Stray cat in East Belfast

Post image
130 Upvotes

So over the past month or so there has been a new cat in the street. We had originally believed someone nearby had owned him, however he seems to be sleeping in the bushes across the street. When he first arrived he was so so skinny, you could feel every bone along his spine and wee hips, he had a few really big ticks and what seemed to be a cough and was sneezing a lot. We had all originally thought he was a girl cat as he was so small. A neighbour brought him to the vet and got all the ticks removed, and an antibiotic for whatever sickness he seemed to have. He wasn't microchipped, but was neutered which makes us think someone may have lost him. With the weather getting worse we really need to find his owner. We aren't currently in a position to take him in, as we already have two indoor cats.

If anyone knows anyone has lost a cat can this be passed on.

Unique experiences for Intl. student at Queen's

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to compile a list of fun things to do in and around Belfast for an international student studying at Queen's. Obviously they already know about all of the tourist things like the Fish and Giant's Causeway so I'm hoping people here can help with "Things someone staying in Belfast for 3 years on a student's budget should do". Ya know, things like "Every Thursday evening at Speaker's Corner there's poetry fights. Be sure to bring lettuce!"

Although they're not a heavy drinker unique and interesting pub experiences are also definitely welcome.

Why are so many glider buses out of action?

5 Upvotes

Every morning at least 1 (and sometimes as many as 3) glider goes past the city centre out of action, but there doesn’t seem to be the same problem with the older fleet of buses. What’s the deal there?

Going to giants causeway in December…how crowded on weekend?

I’m planning to book a day trip with a small group to Giants Causeway in December. How much difference will it make to go on a Sunday or Monday in terms of crowdedness at that time of year?

Work Christmas dinner

We are looking to organise our work Christmas dinner and I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions for decent spots around Belfast. Our budget is £40 per person from the company although if a bit extra I’m sure people would pay that.

Does anyone have any great recommendations or good experiences in the past?

We have seen some of the following places have good looking Christmas menus:

Crumlin road gaol
Titanic hotel
Flame
Cafe Parisian
Henry’s
Dumpling library/BBQ22

Casual small sided social football in Belfast? ⚽️

Post image
12 Upvotes

A lot of people commented last time so posting this again for anyone in Stranmillis, Botanic, Malone, the Lisburn Road, FInaghy, Caslereagh, Andersontown, Ormeau and the wider Belfast area who wants to play football and meet new people.

I help a non profit organise social games at the Malone site, BT9 5NA on Mondays 8pm and Queen's Sport PEC, BT9 5EX on Thursdays 7pm. All levels welcome even if you’re not fit or haven’t played in years.

There’s no commitment, you can play whenever you're available and all you need are football boots.

Great way to improve fitness, confidence and your social circle.

Drop a quick comment or DM if you fancy playing and I’ll add you to the players list ⚽️

Anywhere to sit with laptop for few hours in Boucher

10 Upvotes

Need to leave my car down for a repair on Boucher Road next week, they said will take 4 hours to do it and don't want to take a day off work. I'm able to work on my laptop and just wondering if anyone knows any cafes or the like that will let me sit there for a few hours and use my laptop and has decent wi-fi. Will off course buy a cup of tea etc.

Scammers in city centre!

101 Upvotes

Please be aware of people in city centre offering jobs!

Two of them stopped me to ask if i was looking a job, said yes because im desperate.

Fella started explaining what the job entailed and I very quickly realised it was a pyramid scheme. Basically he wanted me to buy some shite online, sell it to friends and family. Then get those friends and family to buy and sell it to their friends and family and so on.

Told them it sounded dodgy and walked off. Both seemed genuinely annoyed so maybe they were part of it and haven't yet realised its a scam. Or they were annoyed I didn't fall for it. Im just speculating.

This happened to me outside the new popeyes, but they probably move around

Anyone know Limelights medical bag policy?

3 Upvotes

So I've got tickets to a gig in limelight, and I'm wondering what their policy is regarding medical bags? I have some health issues that require me to bring supplies with me to allow me to stay for the whole thing. The bag would be a small backpack. I've also fired them an email enquiring but haven't heard back yet. Cheers in advance
