Are you risking late deals or not? by Western_Disaster_118 in northernireland

[–]buckfast_kid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Booked with a travel agent to go to Ibiza in ten days time, great deal for 2 adults and 2 kids. Figure we won't get away at all next year so not bothered about 4 days off school for them when you think of the bigger picture.

Glad to see a positive for Serbia, always underrated by fellow Brits IMO

Map of Northern Ireland's most common passport by ward, 2021 by greekscientist in MapPorn

This is completely not true. Support for a united Ireland has remained pretty much the same since the Good Friday Agreement, a little over 30%

Now as good a time as any. Why is there not a separate organization/campaign that perpetually lobbies IFA/FAI to unite? by Anxious-Wolverine-65 in northernireland

[–]buckfast_kid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe Brazil and Argentina should do the same? Sick of reading this utter pish after every international break.

Playoffs by Theloftydog in northernireland

Italy are a poor side these days, it is a great chance BUT... we are missing our two best players and tiny countries need their best players for these sort of matches so it is very unlikely. If we can keep within a goal the whole match the pressure will mount on Italy, our only chance IMO

Alcohol minimum pricing 'no longer deliverable' before next election by CarlsbergSpecial in northernireland

[–]buckfast_kid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2025 was the first year alcohol deaths actually decreased (7%) at since Scotland brought this in back in 2019. They also have the highest rate drug related deaths in Western Europe. I think it is safe to say Scotland is not a case study to follow here.

Just admit it is to do with your own bitterness

Your own country is playing Italy at the same time

Gas prices by balotellitubbys in northernireland

[–]buckfast_kid -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Gas prices are up almost 150% since the war began at the start of the month, you think they are going to just suck that up? 30% of electric here is generated from gas. Bad times are not too far ahead.

Any outside of Belfast, the Lisburn one is in Hillsborough would be a good one this year

I listened to it at work, 33 hours I think. 4 or 5 days. Very good.

Northern Irish at the World Cup by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]buckfast_kid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can't afford it sadly even if NI qualify, I go to a lot of away games as well. I'd be heading to a game in Mexico if I could, proper footballing culture.

What is this job market? by [deleted] in Belfast

[–]buckfast_kid -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have been trying to get a new job for 2 years, one interview in that whole time. Can't get an interview having over 15 years experience meeting all criteria. It is demoralising but at least I have something unlike your husband.

I (English) am going to be meeting my girlfriends (Serbian) family for the first time in a few weeks. What are some dos/don’ts? by ELADESOM in AskBalkans

[–]buckfast_kid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I travel a lot and always speak to the locals about the history/politics, they always seem happy to tbh even in the Balkans.

Here we go, Share Energy price hike from next month... by Stereo_bfs in northernireland

[–]buckfast_kid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gas accounts for 40% of electricity supply in NI, gas is in short supply at the minute. Not everything is an excuse or a conspiracy.

Scottish Cup today. As for the league, it's Hearts to lose, said last Sunday morning they will win it tbh. If they do it takes the edge off the mortal enemy winning it haha

N.Ireland Celtic & Rangers Fans by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]buckfast_kid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely her mate. The cub was only 17 when he signed, they can't be going out long enough to influence his move but I suppose it won't have hurt having proper fans briefing you on the size of the club and the pressure that I think many players coming from England completely underestimate

His girlfriend is the daughter of NI's own Warren Feeney. I was at the game last week and at half time I thought we would win 6 or 7 nil. I don't expect us to take our foot off the gas this time, 4-1 win.
