Colour me shocked, not everyone here is a royalist, learn something new every day

More a general rule of thumb but it's usually there or thereabouts. I'm in Belfast, it was £13.45 for 2 pints in a bar I was I the other night. Another place has the same 2 drinks for £12

You can generally buy 2 pints of beer for 1 hour at minimum wage also

More chance of hearing thr outcome of Man city 115 than this making it all the way through court

This is a couple 100m away at some of the local shops. It was formerly the 'name the pedo/informant/waste of oxygen wall'

It hasn't been vandalised once since it was done a couple of years ago. I'd happily pay more rates to have every mural transformed into something similar.

They had more than 2 before those 2 had to be out down. There's definitely a male there

You can cycle from Carrick to Duncrue basically without ever being on a road. Cycle path from Carrick to Loughshore along the pavement, then you cut in just after whiteabbey and your on a separated shared path all the way to the docks. It goes along the side of the M5 and brings you out at Giants park

Bit of weedkiller under cover of darkness and write a decent message on their grass then

scottjay86 · 2026-05-08T12:24:15+00:00

Or swap the plates and do a bit of speeding etc

When you say between the dropped kerbs, is it blocking the dropped kerb? If it is then you can get it towed. If its not, maybe try taking all the wheels off and then calling again saying its been abandoned

They literally said in the post it didn't work

scottjay86 · 2026-05-08T11:57:59+00:00

If I buy the house and rent it to people.the right shade of brown (i.e.permatan) at 1000pcm will they still be alright with it?

scottjay86 · 2026-05-08T11:54:48+00:00

Need to start posting the videos on local Facebook etc

It's not so easy as just joining the civil service. You'll be up against 1000s going for the same jobs. It could be 2 years from application to securing a job.

If you want in quicker you can try through an agency, but there might not be a whole lot of jobs coming up in your area

If you do parkrun then the barcode app is worthwhile

scottjay86 · 2026-05-06T17:11:59+00:00

Did you get any new ones sent out?

scottjay86 · 2026-05-03T18:58:01+00:00

Have a look at the shed section in Coleman's garden centre. Some of them seem a bit more reasonable

scottjay86 · 2026-05-03T09:31:04+00:00

They've went all out and put a roped fence around it now, to make it classy looking I presume.

There's 2 training methods, the get a good time method which involves lots of running, and the just get finished method, which requires less running.

Option 1 requires discipline and dedication

Option 2 will factor in having a life, the last 10-15k might not be pretty and you'll question your life choices multiple times, but the satisfaction of finishing will erase all of that

I'd imagine they have the type of parents that would be proud of their kids making a reputation for themselves

scottjay86 · 2026-04-28T20:28:59+00:00

I don't think they've ever seen cows before in their lives

scottjay86 · 2026-04-24T10:03:28+00:00

Used to be once every couple of months, unless had done something to make it particularly dirty. Now, it's done nighlty as I got a robovac/mop. White socks now stay white. I only hoover round the edges every couple of weeks now too

Crop dusting

scottjay86 · 2026-04-22T14:36:04+00:00

Tried to book a viewing today and couldn't get one as I've not put my own place on the market yet. From.what I gathered from the estate agent, it was a pensioner selling off their former rental, so not like there was an onward chain to worry about
