A few days ago I discovered we can get some RTE programming on one of our cable channels. It's a channel called MhzW, We get RTE Six One News each day at 5 PM, and other occasional programs. Reply #186. Aug 07 13, 2:37 PM |

Chavs, I was in Belfast last week especially to have coffee with our dsimpy (well, not just to see him, but we did have coffee :-) ) and the town was teaming with Police and Fire Games athletes. We had the games in Calgary in 1997...a roaring success. They're very popular. How was the beach volleyball Daithe or did you manage to hold yourself back? ;-) Reply #188. Aug 10 13, 5:11 PM |

And very nice coffee it was too! :) Nope, never got to the beach volleyball. A friend invited herself to lunch at the last minute, so I substituted real life for sports voyeurism. :) After you left Belfast, Barbara, things heated up a bit - some people were a bit tired of promoting a positive image of the city - and we had an incident of Mayor-mugging, and then city-centre rioting in Donegall Place and Royal Avenue. When will people learn - Keep Calm and Drink Coffee! :)) Reply #189. Aug 11 13, 3:01 AM |

I'm a virtual Irishman but I avoid virtual pubs. Beer tastes better at Kelly's in Belfast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89NjEeHku8o Reply #192. Aug 14 13, 5:42 PM |

Welcome Morpheus. Kelly's is good, Madden's - just round the corner - is probably better. :) Reply #193. Aug 15 13, 1:42 AM |

Fair enough. But then straight back to Belfast for everything else that's best about Ireland! :) Reply #195. Aug 15 13, 11:45 AM |

Including me, I'm moving to Belfast (again), third time in about twenty years. This time I have a lovely flat overlooking Sandy Row! Reply #196. Aug 15 13, 12:56 PM |

It'll be handy for all-day drinking on the street outside The Royal Bar! ;-) Reply #197. Aug 16 13, 12:59 AM |

Indeed! I like the way you think, men. Beer and perhaps a friendly game of chess to while away the hours. Darn tootin';-D Reply #198. Aug 16 13, 10:03 AM |

I'm with you on the chess, Morpheus. But it doesn't sound much like the clientele of The Royal. They're more likely to be tattooing each other with broken beer bottles and sewer sludge! Reply #199. Aug 16 13, 11:49 AM |

I took my daughter into Belfast city centre this evening to watch Kick-Ass 2 at the Moviehouse. As is her custom she was appropriately dressed for the occasion, this time in full Hit-Girl costume. On our drive home across Sandy Row and along Donegall Road we encountered a picket of about eight women in the middle of the road with a banner which read "'The Village' supports the Union - the Union Jack will always remain our national flag". They'll never know how lucky they were I didn't stop the car and unleash Hit-Girl on them! :) Reply #200. Aug 16 13, 12:46 PM |
