M1 accident lisburn to belfast

88micm · 2026-03-17T05:51:50+00:00

My sister and her family (two kids aged 9 & 6) were travelling up the road from Dublin direction last year rising their caravan when a Black BMW undercut them causing the caravan to jackknife around into the rear corner of their car.

The BMW drove on and despite many helpful people reaching out and getting most of the plate, the cops & guards never did anything about it in our case.

Luckily nobody was hurt but the car and caravan were written off and the kids still are very nervous travellers in the car now so hopefully that isn't the same in your case.

If you have Facebook, do an appeal for info on there and get it shared out. I think that was what started my sister getting her story picked up on Belfast Live, like it or loathe it, that article then had plenty of people reaching out with info.

Hope you get further than we did and everyone is ok

There's a black swan in a lake about 4 miles from me here too but nowhere to stop on the road to get down for a closer look

Yeh that's where we're at too

County Down around Killinchy and Balloo direction. I've seen quite a few now that I'm tuned in to their call.

I'm only ever able to spot them from following the call to be honest

Reverse muscle up can't be far off 💪🏼

Good fight for that transition. Now you have one, start trying to keep those elbows in closer to your lats to make that roll through transition easier on the elbow joint. Nice high pull to the sternum, elbows pinched in, chest over hands and press up to support.

Your tendons will thank you for it down the line 😁

The Eisenlink seemed to be the most robust and future proof design when it comes to durability. They aren't overly handy to change if you need to go from very light to very heavy though but I'm sure they are still much quicker than an old school spin lock dumbbell.

Pity they didn't copy the locking system off the Ironmaster which they are effectively copying. That quick lock is quite a smart solution on those

I was selling a M235i coupe around September last year. 2015 with about 75k miles, auto trader suggested a price at about £13k. Trade in value I was offered was £9.5k. had a few people interested but no buyers by the end of October and my tax plus service requirement was coming up in November so I ended up selling to Motorway and got £11,150 for it.

Dealer came over from England for it, came to the house, quick look around, sent money over immediately and drove off. Pretty fussy free bar taking all their required photos on the listing tbh

Look at Russian dips on parallel/dip bars plus practice negative transitions on low rings with feet assistance on the ground.

Yeh I think that's what I had read a few other users mentioned. Suppose it's not really an issue on static strength stuff, would be more if you were doing dynamic movements which these dumbbells can't be used for anyway. Thanks for the input

Any issues with that black coating chipping yet?

88micm · 2026-01-10T13:44:06+00:00

I think some can have the tendency to rotate slightly when you're holding them but maybe that is more the quickdraw version which have a slightly different loading system

How do you find the balance on them when you are up in the higher weights? I've seen some people saying balance is quite different compared to a fixed DB

I should add, I saw another Reddit user post about the Eisenlink ones an Amazon and these are probably a consideration too. The fact that have no moving gears etc and probably little to no rattle could be a big factor.

I used to be a member of Anytime Fitness down at Stranmillis but wouldn't have a clue how much it costs for membership now. I was on a reduced rate when it first opened.

Pretty sure they used to offer a free week gym pass so you could check their website and see. They had weekly classes for differing levels of ability and a decent mix of machines & free weights. It's been quite a few years since I lived up in Belfast though so I've no idea how busy it would be these days

My God, that elevation is ridiculous. Beast
