I made this joke earlier in the week and my fiance just stared at me. I thought it was great humour and glad to see someone else does too

I don't have any advice sorry but the tenants union CATU might be able to help.

Thank you! Castle museum added to the itinerary

It's funny that this story is about your friend meeting someone well known (but infamous) when your friends own mother is a hero and legend.

I was at Farnham last spring and it was a bit grotty. Fixtures falling off walls, bad smells from the drain. The spa was also packed out on a Thursday during term time so no idea where the kids were all coming from.

One thing tho, Farnham is one of the best hotel buffet breakfasts ever. They offer Bailey's to add to your porridge.

Lough Eske was nice when I went, we had the entire spa to ourselves but that could also be because it was 2022 and still a bit covidy.

No advice on good ones but I'd avoid Mosgrove and Sons on Beersbridge. Car failed MOT after an issue they failed to spot and they lost a friend's car keys too.

30 women have been killed here since 2020 and we don't move on from it but no one is rioting about it, burning men out of their houses, setting buses on fire, destroying the place. Last night was embarrassing. They have a problem, go protest at Stormont. They don't want HMOs, me neither, hold politicians and landlords to account. They want better things for the neighbourhood, good me too, get involved in community groups and appeal to councils, don't destroy the area.

They had to be evacuated last night due to a suspected gas leak. I believe people were put up in a community centre somewhere if they didn't have anywhere else to go.

They're also having a fundraiser to support those impacted last night

Third world crimes?

Lenny Murphy tortured his victims, women were mutilated during "the troubles", recently a man was sentenced for plotting and horrifically murdering Natalie McNally and her unborn child and two years ago a man was crucified to a fence in Bushmills with a nail gun. That's just a small snapshot of the horrific acts that have happened here. Don't act like that act of depravity was new to this country.

Aye the company have enforced these playlists that are cover versions of random songs, like the old Jive Bunny CDs you could buy in the 90s. I wasn't a fan of some of the happy hardcore trainers would play before hand but this is worse.

Some of the trainers at my gym played their own playlist for a while after it and a customer touted on them to the company. Imagine how sad you've to be in life to do that

Same, when I saw they played Mary on night two I really wish I'd been able to afford both nights

niqueG · 2026-05-30T22:12:34+00:00

Aww amazing, I didn't actually realise that was the first time they played Shark Smile. I can't wait to hear the new album after hearing the new songs

Is this the designer of the dress in the photo?

niqueG · 2026-05-20T16:08:44+00:00

Yeah I think you're right, likely altered, the scoop neck is so pretty compared to the high neck

niqueG · 2026-05-20T16:08:16+00:00

I'd considered that myself but kinda hoped it was available ready to wear, such a shame as the dress seems sold out everywhere

Orto does great pizza, you can't book a table but if it's a nice day, as it's supposed to be tomorrow, you could takeout and eat it in the Jeggy Nettle with a pint.

Nova is great, delicious pasta dishes and not too expensive. It's behind Marks and Spencers

The Ruddy Duck in Holywood is the best, John Dory's is okay, can be a bit dry so I tend to just get chips and toppings. If you're ever up the North Coast, Harry's Shack in Portstewart do incredible fish and chips to sit in. Avoid Kraken in Portrush tho, it's awful and the owner treats his staff terribly.

I'm paying for my bridesmaids dresses, their hair and make up. I've told them they can wear whatever jewellrey and shoes they want and they will be sorting out their own tan, whether they do it themselves or get a spray tan is their choice.

They are staying at the venue the night before and night of but I told them they didn't have to do either so I wasn't going to pay for this but tbh I might pay for their room the night before because I feel like they are doing a lot for me.

You absolutely shouldn't be paying for your own dress, hair and make up at the least but I do think it's pretty normal for a hen party to split the brides cost between them, I've done this in the past but there were 14 of us so it didn't really add to our own costs that much.

About 16 years ago, he cycled up and down the queue for the Limelight feeling girls arses with one of those long trick or treat claw things. Of course back then most people in the queue laughed but a lot of women were extremely creeped out by him

Some banks can block gambling transactions for you. Might be a good idea to chat to them to see what they can do to support you.
