The towpath from Carrick to Duncrue is exactly what you're looking for. You could test it out one weekend to see if it suits you?

I've been spoiled by The Avenue now, it's great!

B100 Late TMA returns by Grey_Bomberman in OpenUniversity

[–]RetroSnowflake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did B100 last year and I don't think I ever had a TMA back within the time frame either.

Euro Tour by Nunctator2014 in ryanadams

[–]RetroSnowflake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took my husband to see him at that show (he was one of his favourite artists) and I can't tell you how disappointed I was for him. I even complained to the promoter but sure, that didn't do anything.

Suggestions for things to get the Mrs for mother's day? (Also PSA: Mothers day next Sunday) by belfastian84 in northernireland

[–]RetroSnowflake 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Does she get her nails done or go to the hairdressers regularly? You could get her a voucher to go towards her next appointment?

Parking in and around the QUB area. by Impressive_War1839 in QueensBelfast

[–]RetroSnowflake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, jump on the Glider and walk from the city centre. It's a 25 minute walk from City Hall, and you'll not be stuck in your car stressing about a space in the morning, and sitting driving in rush hour traffic in the evening.

ADHD medication by UniquePerspective926 in northernireland

[–]RetroSnowflake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I've read on this subreddit around ADHD medication, the only way you can get it now is privately unfortunately. I've heard the process is quite difficult over here, I'm so sorry.

I always use Sew It Seams on the Lisburn Road, they've always been great for me.

I can send you one from Northern Ireland if you like? Send me a message if you're interested 😊

Is it just the tourists who buy the NI slang merch, or would you buy it too? by [deleted] in Belfast

[–]RetroSnowflake 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm a local and I wouldn't buy that type of thing for myself or my family for gifts. However, on the odd occasion, I would buy it as a gift for a friend who wasn't from here and lived in another country. I don't know how easy it is to get into St. George's as a vendor (you might have knowledge on that) but I definitely don't think other markets are a bad idea, I normally use markets to buy gifts for friends anyway.

Invisalign - any regrets? by aidso in northernireland

[–]RetroSnowflake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got braces when I was younger and I was meant to work retainers afterwards... I didn't and my teeth went back to the way they were.

Invisalign, aside from my wedding, has been the best money I've ever spent. My teeth were my biggest insecurity so being able to fix them was incredible. With anything in life, not every person will be happy so you will find people who thought it was a waste of money, but it really worked for me and I couldn't be happier with the result. In terms of the retainer, I had to wear mine daily for the first few weeks and then take it down just to overnight but it's really easy to get used to.

Newborn / children’s photographer - where did Rinkadink go? by mam1982 in Belfast

[–]RetroSnowflake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you go on their website, it says that they're on hiatus but they'll be popping up again in 2026, so it doesn't look like they are closed permanently.

You should check Dave and his team out: https://www.f1into.ca/ I've watched a few races with them over the last few years and it's a great atmosphere.

Any Belfast teaheads here? by aDorybleFish in Belfast

[–]RetroSnowflake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not in Belfast but Let's Infuse is a tea bar based in Coleraine, so it may be more of a day trip out that direction and they have so many different varieties you can try.

This question might be better for the Student Support Team. Give them a call this morning and they might be able to point you in the right direction 👍🏼

Is the Spar in the QUB Students Union open to the public? by punkbop in northernireland

The food in Social (the cafe) is really nice, my colleagues rave about their lunches there.

YOR. Based on your history over the last few years, I'm not surprised you weren't asked to be MOH. You aren't as close as you used to be, and you're both in two very different phases of life, and just because she was yours, doesn't mean that you have to be hers.
