Hi,
Myself (41) and my partner (f40) are coming to Belfast in Oct/Nov. I’m Irish and she’s Welsh.
I want to avoid chain bars, and restaurants if I can. Anything you think we should add?
We love books, history, nature, anything water related, boats…..I also especially love weird shit ghosts and haunted stuff.
Apologies as I know you must get loads of these posts!!
Anyone else hearing the car horns blaring pretty much every night around Crumlin Road area? I think they sit in Hillview Retail Park, but can often hear car horns from farther away.
Hi all - needing taxi from city centre to Belfast city airport**tomorrow morning around 5:00 am

I put together a simple, free directory to help people track down grassroots community funding:
No signups, just basic filters and direct links.
I’d really appreciate anyone having a quick look and letting me know what feels clunky, what's broken, or if there are obvious local funds I’ve missed.
Thanks
Anyone been to Three Sheets off the Dublin Road? Recommend or no? Planning a stag looking somewhere for a group of about 18 of us the usual platters bit of pool and darts so it came up as an option
Recently bought an old house that will need a new heating system.
Old system is oil.
Considering moving to gas as there is already a connection at the house.
How does gas compare to oil prices these days? Which one is the most cost effective.
Heat pump isn’t really an option as the house is nowhere near draught proof/insulated enough.
Where is the best place to park for a concert at Boucher Playing Fields? Bringing a six year old too so don’t want to do massive walks to and from
Hi everyone,
I'm reaching out on behalf of my sister, who is currently a postgraduate student in Belfast. Her hostel accommodation agreement ends in September, and she's been actively searching for a new place to rent since then. Despite viewing several properties, she hasn't been selected by any landlords or agencies yet, and the process has been incredibly stressful for her — especially while also juggling a part-time job alongside her studies.
She isn't a UK citizen, and she does have a guarantor lined up, but she's still not having luck getting selected. Not sure if it's the competition, something about the application, or something else landlords are looking for.
If anyone has experience with:
Renting as an international student in Belfast
What landlords/agencies typically want to see from applicants with a guarantor
Student-specific housing groups or Facebook pages for Belfast
General tips on standing out in a competitive rental market
...we'd really appreciate any pointers. Even small tips or links to helpful resources would mean a lot right now.
Thank you so much in advance!
Does anyone know if anyone lives there and how or is it somone who works at the park
Hi r/london, it’s been a little while since I posted in here! I’m Luke and I run Too Young To Grieve which is a a community for young people who’ve experienced loss, but it’s less heavy than it sounds.
It’s really just about getting outside, moving a bit, and being around people who genuinely get what you’re going through without needing an explanation.
We’ve now moved our regular London Jog/Walk & coffee meet up to Regent’s Park to be more accessible for everyone!
It’s basically a very relaxed jog/walk at whatever pace suits you, then a coffee after where people tend to stick around and chat. Share as much or as little as you want, there’s no pressure on anything.
If you’re nervous that’s absolutely fine, most people come alone the first time and always say they’re glad they did.
I’ll attach our community details in the comments where people stay connected between meet ups.
Feel free to share with anyone you think it might benefit 🤍
Would anyone have any recommendations for nursing homes? Preferably Bangor/ North Down area but would be happy to travel for somewhere great. It is for my mum who has Alzheimers so if anyone knew of any dementia specific ones they had experience of that would be great. Also if there are any you would avoid that would be good to know too. Thank you.
I have 4 tickets front standing golden circle for Lewis Capaldi this Thursday night at Boucher. Dm me if interested ! £82.20 face value but happy to budge on price a wee bit!
For anyone in any of the business groups, I’m sure you’ve seen he posts hard in every one of them and it seems like every mention of a website or an app developer there are people in hoards tagging him and him replying “thanks for the referral”
Just wondering does anyone know the craic? Like does he gives comms for recommendations or what?
Also he doesn’t seem to have many public reviews at all? Like 10 on Facebook, no Trustpilot, nothing? Definitely hides comments as you can see from the “6 comments” in that screenshot and only 2 visible.
Seems to use plenty of AI slop which is suss for a big wealthy successful web dev?
Anyone any insight? All seems a bit weird.
There's nothing that gets me going in the mornings more than 2 hallions shouting at each other on national radio.
Change my mind
Just thought I’d give you guys a heads up since I used to collect Marvel ones. I don’t know how rare any of them are because I’m only familiar with Marvel, but the boxes are mint condition and that’s darn cheap for a Funko.
They have been idiots and actually put sticky labels on with the price, but they’re on the plastic bit so easily removable.
I figured some of you might be interested to know, especially if you score a rarity for a fiver!
Going to a concert in Boucher Playing fields and wondering where to get my brother to pick me up afterwards. Heading back Dungannon direction. I don't mind walking a bit to meet him if there is somewhere sensible that he could park up and wait for us that we could avoid most of the traffic congestion.
Any advice on where?
Thanks
Why has this got so much busier all of a sudden over past few months no idea why
