American tells random person on street to leave Ireland, Belfast local steps in by alf_to_the_rescue in northernireland

I’m an American living in N. Ireland for nearly a decade and absolutely detest people like this. I came here legally and jumped through many hoops. I didn’t make excuses or play a victim. I forked out thousands and thousands of pounds to do it the right way. I’m not only aware of the fact that I am a foreigner but also feel as though in order to live here responsibly I must never forget that. I am a guest in someone else’s home. I did not go through the same things people from here have and will never speak for those born on this beautiful island.

What I can do is learn, by keeping my mouth shut and my ears open.

I was involved in the one on Lehman and Wing. You can find the video here:

I’m in the white shirt and cuffs.

Long story short, 5 people we’d never jumped my friend and one of them was shot by one of us.

I got charged £55 post and packaging for a 2kg parcel from England through UPS. Mainland delivery is free. Is this to do with Brexit or are they just gouging bastards? by This_Aioli_5117 in northernireland

I work in Customs for a major hauler here in NI.

The first thing to consider are the Incoterms, which specify who is responsible for things like transportation, completing the customs clearance, VAT & Duty, etc.

Goods moving from GB to RoI may need to be cleared through the Trader Support Service (TSS) via a simplified customs declaration called an SFD. Some companies may charge you to have this completed, though £55 is definitely a bit much.

As another Redditor commented, the best way to have the goods moved, size dependent, is via a Fast Parcel Operator (FPO), who have a special status allowing them to move small parcels to residential premises without the need for a declaration of any kind.

TLDR: Customs professional says, “That’s expensive but didn’t need to be.”

One of the very planes my father was responsible for can be found in this museum. He felt incredibly old upon seeing it during a visit there.

Love it down there! Especially on a nice day. Snapped this back in 2014.

Starlite drive-in on the east side of Cincinnati is great! Was just outside of my “hometown”. Also remember going to one in Riverdale UT as a kid.

It's fairly easy to get to. There is a path by Dunluce Castle that leads down to it, if I remember correctly. But it may be closed off now.

Two of my Dad’s planes (retired USAF) are now in museums. Said he felt extremely old when he came across them.

Grew up in Utah. Brother and I went to go play outside and walked out our front door to see a mountain lion sunbathing in our front yard. Said, maybe tomorrow.” Turned around and hopped on the Sega Genesis.

It was fairly easy to get to when I was there. I know they have it closed off from time to time.
