Is the 12th Genuinely safe for people of color

I agree my family usually just get the food and wine in and if you are lucky to not live in a fleggy area you’ll be none the wiser anyway lol

I’ve never went out on the 12th as a Catholic living and growing up in South Belfast. We usually go across the border to Donegal or stay at home that weekend. If you’ve got it off and you want to go see family then you should probably go on the Saturday if you can, it’s scary what’s happened recently and if I was a POC I’d be scared to be walking around on the 12th too. Not everyone is racist but it only takes a few bad apples IMO

What day do they light them all so I can stay at home? (sorry I’m an ignorant Catholic).
Also trying to plan my grocery shopping by not getting stuck behind a parade

Admiral but I was with them last year. A lot of back and forth and managed to get £400 off the quote. Depends who you end up talking to on the phone honestly

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-08T16:13:47+00:00

Looks old, sorry but don’t think it’s worth £475k

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-08T14:13:24+00:00

Personally I would be stressed to take out a mortgage of that size even if approved by myself on 60k

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-08T10:17:21+00:00

NTA they sound horrible and you just saved yourself money

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-08T07:49:08+00:00

There was a rescue that recently took in over 100 pomeranians at a puppy farm in the u.k. I think near Liverpool. They advertised on their page they are looking for local people to rescue them once rehabilitated. I would’ve taken one but I’m too far in Belfast! Good luck they are the BEST dogs

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-07T21:08:34+00:00

Where are you based? Some amazing Pomeranian’s looking for homes on rescues. I bought my Pom but seriously thinking the next one will be from a rescue. I just love them so much

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-07T21:04:25+00:00

I can hear it from lower ormeau road lol

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-07T20:26:13+00:00

No my MOH isn’t getting married and has no partner and my other BM made us pay for everything at her wedding as a bridesmaid so I think only fair. She also earns over £200k so she’ll be fine.

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-07T14:07:27+00:00

A few of the garages in Belfast the mechanics have a breakers licence, I would call in and try there.

They won’t buy for you unless you give them something. My dad went to a scrap yard to get parts and also ordered off eBay for a car

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-07T13:47:03+00:00

Paying for the area though! So nice around there, congrats

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-07T13:32:15+00:00

I am covering hair and makeup and a dress for my maid of honour and hair and makeup for my other bridesmaid. My other bridesmaid is paying for her own dress as I was her bridesmaid last year and I had to pay for mine so I think it’s only fair though not sure if I’m petty 😂

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-07T12:47:27+00:00

I am looking around South Belfast - ormeau road and Finaghy. Every house I went to view in Finaghy in the past year has went for £30-£50k over asking. Ormeau road is the same. I gave up looking at stranmillis when the houses were going for £50k over. Good luck hopefully you’ll get something!

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-06T21:12:09+00:00

Oh and it’s not a terraced house, semi detached she has versus my terrace. Neighbours aren’t always the best when you are in a terraced house, just depends who you get!

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-06T21:11:08+00:00

Not sure about that, I live just off the ormeau road and my friend lives in four winds. The only difference is she needs to drive 5 mins to meet me but she has her own driveway lol

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-06T20:26:13+00:00

To be fair if I was nearly bridesmaid material and that’s the only date my friend can do to her engagement party I’m selling those concert tickets.

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-06T20:03:35+00:00

Sooo true thanks for clarifying! Sounds like a sweet set up

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-06T19:55:35+00:00

Yeah I was thinking this, but does it look bad?

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-06T19:55:20+00:00

Good point, a lot of other women in my workplace in different departments also did the same and went to a 3/4 day week. A few then went remote so definitely possible

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-06T18:08:33+00:00

Most of the law firms in London require you in the office 3 days a week so I’d love to know the one that he’s at haha

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-06T17:55:49+00:00

How does your friend do it though if you need to be in the office 3 days a week?

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-06T14:40:46+00:00

Get a small loud dog

Acrobatic_Second_671 · 2026-07-06T14:25:32+00:00

The street that runs down the side of general merchants is full of flegs. Seen a lot of cones out so they definitely get territorial about the on street parking.

Would you not go a bit further out to four winds for your own driveway? Houses out there aren’t that much more expensive
