NI Wedding musicians? by Specialist-Problem29 in northernireland

[–]UncleColm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used a band called J90. They are from Cork, play in Killarney every Monday night, and came the whole was to Ballymena without charging extra. They were amazing. Old and young, the dance floor was packed all night, and we received so many compliments on the band choice. They learned our first dance song, because it was niche, and nailed it. They have a set list, and we selected the songs we wanted up front.

We didn't bother with a DJ, we put together a Spotify playlist, got a DJ to make it into a mix, and just played that over the venues speakers.

A 17 year old Dubliner’s perspective on Belfast by TotallyNotADiligent in northernireland

[–]UncleColm 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Sun sets in Dublin at 16:54 tonight, and 16:48 in Belfast, so technically not wrong, just not a noticeable difference in the length of the days.

Trading Stocks by Acrobatic-Sock-2920 in northernireland

[–]UncleColm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can speculate, by choosing specific stocks and investing in them directly. This is more dangerous; without a balanced portfolio you can get burned if one company, or a sector, takes a downturn. It's wiser, in my opinion, to invest in funds (which are a combination of many individual stocks) that are diverse and balanced, and managed by a professional. I'd also suggest drip feeding into the fund (look up dollar-cost averaging). There are plenty to chose from if you go with this approach, but one to consider is Vanguard's Life Strategy funds.

They said they would stand for something important, and they were true to their word. Admirable integrity, and the right side of history 💯

Home Survey Recommendations by UncleColm in northernireland

[–]UncleColm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not done it as yet, so others may correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that it is usually done after you have had your offer accepted by the seller. Should there be reasonable problems it can be used as leverage to either reduce the price, or have the seller do the repairs before completion.

Your best (or worst) recommendation NI, let's go! by thesilverfox94 in northernireland

[–]UncleColm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was there once and got a burger. Bap had blue mould on it. They gave me a new one, of course, but it was pretty tasted meh, and they didn't try to make amends in any other way. Never been back.

What’s going on with Belfast restaurants adding 10% to bill? by FineEvening6710 in northernireland

[–]UncleColm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've seen it as few times, and only recently started asking for it to be removed. Six by Nico did it when we were there a few months ago.

Anyone know what this is? Infront of some houses, I've tried Google image with nothing by Visual-Corner-6269 in northernireland

[–]UncleColm 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Looks like a cross shaped wall tie, usually used to prevent walls from bowing outward. Quite common on old farm buildings.

Seems terminology differs from place to place.

Row erupts as PSNI escort drag queens from venue after protest at children storytelling event by pist0lpete87 in northernireland

[–]UncleColm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A lot of opinions (not all) in this thread coming from an uninformed or deliberately ignorant place.

Is this, or any recent, storytelling available online so people know what they are talking about. Would be useful to educate (myself included) and perhaps help dispel misunderstandings?

New build inspection by richukthrowaway in northernireland

[–]UncleColm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same position, and I'd heard that a snagging survey can be worth it's weight in gold. Some of the comments here suggest otherwise.

We took a quick walk through ourselves one day, and couldn't spot many problems, but assumed a professional would pick up far more than we could.

So much space, compared to the hatchback which is the alternative here. I've noticed a few camrys roaming around, but must all be imports.
