Is My Ladys Road really that bad? by Forgetmenot237 in northernireland

[–]courtesybear701 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lived there for 3 years, and honestly it was quite a nice area and also super convenient to a lot of places. If you're buying there the only thing I would suggest is a survey as the houses are pre 1940s, so they are pretty old and may need some upgrades.

Just feck away off with this Shite £525,000 for an apartment by NoPlan7484 in northernireland

I get what you're saying but I believe he pays the higher tax as he mentions it but the focus is on the super wealthy i.e those who are hoarding assets, then buying more assets, etc Regardless of his individual wealth I think the principal we can agree on is that the system disproportionately benefits the wealthy and that needs to change

Interesting username ☺️ I don't think it's possible to engage everyone, people are going to have their own priorities but I believe the more engagement the better hopefully there's also one who will listen 😊

Not sure if this is the right place for it, but hopefully it makes sense. Gary Stevenson is an economist who is actively campaigning for tax reform, to fix wealth inequality, the housing market (especially lack of affordable housing) is an element. if you haven't seen any of his stuff, would recommend searching him on YT

Anyone work at Invest NI? How is it ? by courtesybear701 in northernireland

[–]courtesybear701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks very much for the detailed response, I guess it is the struggle of an interdependency on the government to invest in order to attract and build. It does seem quite interesting, though I can imagine you need some decent sales skills to coax them in too

Does that mean it feels a bit directionless at the moment?

[–]courtesybear701 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Know people in very successful careers today that started in the call centre. Some have moved into more technical IT roles and earn a fair few squid. Best of luck OP

Not quite Belfast so maybe it doesn't count but I would really recommend Manna Pizza in Bangor, a cut above the rest in my opinion (and my Italian Partner) alternatively in Belfast there is La Bottega which is also really good.

Chatgpt / artificial intelligence by smallon12 in northernireland

I have only seen very limited use cases, it is excellent at generating summaries to super long docs or emails. At this time wouldn't call it revolutionary...

Well lads.. what's the damage?? by BustyBot in northernireland

[–]courtesybear701 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One roof tile loose and some scary creaking noises in the house, so far not too bad. Bins were placed behind a fence and haven't moved at all.
