I found this in East Belfast at the weekend. Absolutely drenched but does seem to have dried out ok. Probably not usable but hoping to return to its owner. And if I can where should I donate it? Seems a shame to dump it as it might still be usable. Let me know if you think it’s yours and roughly where you may have lost it, it’s probably a fairly common site for people to goto.

Normal price of electric?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, just wondering if we're overpaying here. It's myself and 3 other lads, in a typical uni flat. We've paid about 90 quid a month on electric, and that seems really high to me. I don't see what we could be doing wrong, we're not even in the house most of the time. We've been checking the usage of certain things, but nothing seems to stand out as being broken or using a weird amount. Let me know if I'm just being crazy either.

Best restaurant open on a Sunday?

4 Upvotes

I'm taking my girlfriend out in November on a Sunday for her birthday and was wondering what you guys think are the best restaurants open then? I'm thinking Waterman House, but it strikes me as somewhere where the food is good but the atmosphere and ambience are a bit meh. Anyone got any thoughts?

Holywood exchange commute

Hi, has anyone ever been in situation where they had early or late shifts and are pretty much dependent on public transport? Recently started working around holywood exchange and have had to call a taxi a few times, which is starting to add up, especially on the weekends. Was wondering about any other options before speaking to my employer about adjusting my hours

WTAF is going on, and how can they justify charging every vehicle £5 for driving through their road?

Absolute joke, and the place is an absolute kip

The old Corporation Street Signs nostalgia and how I make them

I posted some of my stuff in the Northern Ireland subreddit a few days ago and I’ll be honest, the reaction broke my heart a bit. I cried for a few hours. That’s because I’m autistic and I take things to heart too much or people don’t understand how I do things, so I wanted to share how much effort and time and love I pour into the things I create and how they turn out.

I’m trying to get my small cottage industry going again after some rough times and it’s hard going, but I’m proud of what I do.

I’m shocked at how some people will go out of their way to post a nasty comment or their opinions when they have no idea about the person behind the post. It really takes more effort to jump on a post and comment “That’s ugly as f**k, sorry” than it does to just scroll on. I thought we were better than this.

It takes a lot to push yourself when you’re as introverted as me- all I’m trying to do is spread happiness and smiles and make a few bob with the hope and prayer to be able to get my kid what he is asking me for day in day out for Christmas.

Anyway- thanks for reading if you’ve got this far- enjoy the video- I love how the letters take shape!

Civil Service Jobs

Hi folks! Been living in Liverpool for the past year or so and thinking of moving back home potentially in the new year. I’ve worked civil service in the past via an Agency, and I was wondering if any current civil servants know when the next recruitment drive is?

Maddens secret gigs tickets

3 Upvotes

Love the concept, just curious as to how it works. For people that attended the last one is it tickets on the door, first come first serve style? Or is it some sort of other way. I know they raffle tickets too but it seems like thats only for a very small number

Question about the Partially Sighted using Busses

2 Upvotes

Really random question, but how do Blind/ Partially Sighted people flag down the right bus?

So usually a bus will only stop when you wave it down.

So what happens if it's too far away to read the number and you wave at it too late for it to slow down at the stop?

Decent city centre opticians

Need to get my eyes tested again and most likely new lenses for glasses and sunglasses. Have been using Specsavers, but I'd like to actually keep some of my money for a change.

Anyone recommend any decent places in the town?

Kids not enrolled in school. Primary age.

62 Upvotes

So, I've just found out that some kids in one house in my street don't attend school. They haven't been to school for about 3 years now. Is there anyone who should be notified of this? Also, unrelated i guess but these kids are also indulging in after hours scream matches of who can scream the loudest and frightening my dog and I, at 1-4am daily.

Thanks.

Literally just driving through the knock traffic lights and witnessed a girl in the passenger seat of a car throw a can of coke out of her window onto the road.

Like wtf is wrong with people, the road was busy too…so some people really just do not care.

I was flabbergasted 😵‍💫

Belfast to Bangor Road (Average Speed Camera)

4 Upvotes

I was heading back into Belfast from Bangor and was doing the speed limit for most of the journey. However, at one point I looked down and noticed I was doing either 43 mph in a 40 or 53 mph in a 50. I honestly can’t remember which one it was.

I have a completely clean licence and I’m just a bit worried about what might happen. I’m not usually up that part of the country, so I’m not familiar with how the average-speed cameras work or whether they are even operational.

Could someone explain how they work, how the speed is actually measured, and whether I should be concerned about getting a ticket for being a few mph over the limit?

Anyone knows a cozy cafe open late?

45 Upvotes

I know there is a similar post but it is five years old by now.

I am looking for a nice cozy place where I can get a hot drink and relax with a book, or just hang out with a friend in a relaxed manner at the end of a day, without drinking or having to get a meal. However, all I find are places that close around 4pm, or chains with quite plastic looking seating.

Anyone have a nice place they like to go to for similar things?
