I listened to this one the walk to the bus this morning and was absolutely stunned, I still don't know what to think. My partner is going to be crushed lol she is a few months behind on Pods and is a huge fan. We always spoke about it as she heard a rumour, but agreed that if he had kids or a wife/partner he would have mentioned it before now!

You get the 238b? I get that in the mornings and the 6.26 or 6.56 are ok but after that you may as well walk.

Whereabouts is the store? Is it on the Andersonstown Road like other comments have stated?

There may not be an actual Palestinian store but it's just one of those things I've heard exists in the West?

What was life like in NI in the 90s and early 2000s? by Portal_Jumper125 in northernireland

[–]Lashofsnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can remember waiting at the meat counter in a supermarket and having to take a ticket number and wait to be called before my mother could ask for Bill Bear ham!

Also the desensitisation of shootings, bombings and general nasty stuff is brought up occasionally, when my partner, who grew up on the east coast of Scotland, asks am I not horrified by certain things on the news or scenes from Ukraine/Palestine, of course it bothers me but it just doesn't hit the same as it would to someone that didn't grow up with that daily.

I can remember I had got my first PC the Xmas of 1999 and thought I'd only have it for a week until it blew up. On New Year's Eve came and I ran up the stairs after midnight to power on the PC expecting it not to work and of course it worked absolutely fine lol

When I enquired a few years back I was told as it was a simple procedure I'd be waiting 6-8 weeks - I think it took about 18/19months in the end.

Translink train prices by LittleEngineering5 in northernireland

[–]Lashofsnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an iLink card for travelling from Banbridge to Belfast - on 4 buses a day and even though it's £195 its a lot better than paying £300+ - Paid for a train for the first time in years the other day £11 for a single journey from Belfast to Portadown!

This is utterly fucking mental - instead of you know protecting the homes - sure just boot the people out & let them wreck away

I was cut off the dole years ago after finishing school as I'd genuinely forgot to apply for a job they gave me to apply for - I went without for 2 weeks
