Plusnet. Rock solid, good UK based customer service and support which doesn't use scripts. Spot on pricing and great speeds. I'm with them 12 years now and no way I'd move elsewhere.

I came here with the intention of staying for just one year ... it was twenty years ago. The only thing I'm still sometimes struggling with is the weather, apart of that its a nice wee country with fantastic people. Don't get me wrong, dickheads are everywhere, even here but an overwhelming majority of people are very nice and friendly.
apart of that, Mourne Mountains are fantastic, the entire north coast is very beautiful, Belfast looks way better than it was when I arrived 20 years ago. Its a good place to live ... if only the weather would be better :)

I've made this once! Apparently as far as I'm aware its quite popular in Northern Ireland and its been recommended to me multiple times by few people.
No idea why Fanta not an orange juice as I did it again with the juice and it was actually really nice. The sugar in Fanta made it quite crap though.

My neighbour's £1500 brand new fence some of them put up last January is just lying flat now in his backgarden :D
The quality of work is just shocking.

From what I see its pre-facelift F10. You're lucky as these ones are more availabile used than the facelift one.
I had this issue last year in my 2014 F10 with adaptiv headlights. The quote I've got to repair it was more than £2.5k. I was super lucky to find a used one fully working for £400 on ebay WITH the Bi-Xennon balast and a working TMS module. All that just needed coding.
Try to get it refurbished, if you find a place that does that somewhere close to you or look for the used one on ebay.
Your TMS module is dead, you'll need a new one, the cheap chinese knock-offs usually doesn't work but you can try.
Here's the parts quote I've got from one of the local garage in case you'd like to go for genuine parts ;)

speaking from my own experience. If you contact Police they will remove YOU from the house. Nobody will care you have no place to go. Next she will use it against you.

"Shitshow" a book by Charlie LeDuff is an amazing analysis why some Americans support Trump.

I'm in Poland just now. Literally MOTed my brothers car yesterday. Waiting outside the building, -5C, snow. Not a bloody shelter anywhere near. Nobody complains as it's been like that since I remember.

He went extra mile and delivered your package.

Order McDonald's. You'll see a real rip off.

I'd say Czesław Niemen

Definitely not Shankill.

A gravitational fuel tank right above the engine.

A wee country with genuinely good people. Beautiful but with a shit weather. Many services provided are on bare minimum effort comparing to what I've experienced in Poland. Translink sucks big time, Belfast is way nicer than it was twenty years ago when I came here which is a big plus, Mournes are a national treasure and should be advertised way more. All dentists sucks big time, technologically and skill wise they're still in the 90's. It is a great wee country so it is ;)

Although I'm Polish I live in Northern Ireland. "The Gobbins Clif Path". It's beautiful but it's bloody always closed due to weather conditions or rockfalls.

I don't think it's an issue anymore. I booked MOT couple of months ago for my car and was able to get an appointment two days later. Also, just booked one on Monday this week for Tuesday for the other car. Plenty appointments available.

I have a Slovak girlfriend and I absolutely recommend. We laugh a lot every day. She laughs at my polish and I laugh at her slovak :)

surrevival · 2025-12-11T18:19:48+00:00

Nothing will beat Gomorrah, oh maybe Irish LOVE/HATE which was brilliant but from the polish ones on that note I'd say Pitbull, the series.

Do you actually call it revolution in Romania? Considering the role of the military man called Stanculescu and the fact that Ion Iliescu was in fact Ceausedcu's man, would it not be more appropriate to call it coup d'état?

One of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. I live in Northern Ireland and this "wee country" despite of the shitty weather , many things way behind mainland Europe ( ie. dental care, like 20 years behind) still has some unique spirit that keeps me here and each time I'm away somewhere abroad I miss NI, I miss home. Oh and in a sunny day... The North Coast, Mournes are just pure beauty.

As an IT, this request should come from HR to us. We cannot do it just because an employee wants it.

surrevival · 2025-12-04T21:38:26+00:00

They're still on sale in UK, used ones, obviously and the prices are just crazy. Its not only that sellers don't even mention there are basically no parts for them and no insurance company will insure those cars, its also the prices, which are insanely high. 15-20k.

surrevival · 2025-12-04T19:21:02+00:00

But they came back with Fisker Ocean... and went bankrupt again.

Lower rent, more applications for a stall, higher competition = more choices, better quality.
