You’d need to be from craggy island to find portrush interesting this time of the year.

 St Kilda’s not a million

miles from craggy island on a good blustery day.

Not sure about causeway with your ankle there is a bus that will take you down . But a definite must do and see  . As is the Bushmills distillery tour especially if bottling plant is running that particular day.  You will see the Royal golf course on your way to Portrush even if you not playing it a bit like walking around Turnberry kinda magical place (for a golfer) .  Good pint of Guinness in Harbour Bar wouldn't recommend anywhere to eat in Port can be ropey even at busy times of year .  Personally like going to Ballintoy harbour  and if I was pushed I would eat in Bothy (NB owned by Ashers) and for a sit down meal definitely recommend Tartine in Bushmills as the best value about.  Dark Hedges up the road and if you are into motor bike road racing  Ballymoney close and that's where  Joeys bar is full of memorabilia.  All the above within 10 miles of each other . 

Then get back to Belfast it's an absolutely hopping place  you cannot have a bad or disappointing night out .  

Cheers man, 9 weeks in on the ankle with a fair bit of metal, so walking and driving automatic but rope bridge may be a bit fucking much.

bollocks to the golf, the wife’s auld fella would probably love it like.

aye want to spend a bit of time in the actual city, we’re staying in the cathedral 1/4 so should be sound.

Any new updates on Belfast? Headed there with the outlaws in a couple of weeks.

deffo headed the giants causeway, but recovering with a smashed up ankle so hopefully I can get around a decent amount of it. Gonna give port rush a look, and also bushmills.

father in law wanted to do the black taxi thing but I’m not sure, they’re a pair of blue blood Tories and he’s a brexiteer so it could get a bit to heated, disaster tourism seems a bit fucking heavy anyway.

I hope you offered them your sympathies?

I had a mate who emigrated with his family to the Perth area just under 20 years ago too.

He asked if we were from Liverpool, I had my Jurgen cap on and am a noisy fucker, poor bastard almost apologised when saying he was from Runcorn. My missus had the misfortune of working there for about 18 months back in the early 00’s so had a quick blether.

Not again Arthur! I can't keep up with your name changes. At least if you keep the Arthur part we know who you are. Hope your 'kidney(s)? ' are ok these days.

All good this side vlad cheers, we were speaking to someone from Runcorn in an ale house last Friday. 

Picked up a pair of city series Dublin at the weekend. Soft as fuck suede, with full suede tongue. Like wearing carpet slippers.

Had the dog out for a walk an hour ago and bumped into him.

very unassuming fella, I said awesome show, boss writing, he was more interested in our dog and asking where we were from. I said the show had done well, and was getting good review on a Liverpool fan site, he went yeah, I used to barrack for Liverpool as a kid.

nice fella, good looking missus as well. 

Wearing UFC air MMA shorts as casual wear, mooching about or down the beach.

colossal twattery.

So Peter is actually Wing? 
 

Wing Sampras.

Wing Townsend.

Wing Gabriel.

 

Wonder what other Greek words translate to names?

Peter comes from the Greek for rock/stone, as in petrified. the rock of Jesus - Peter the apostle.

Walk the Plank.

Possibilities, yank the plank would surely be a goer. Hard enough to stay in position without them taking yer lad for a walk and telling you to keep yer stomach in and squeeze yer arse cheeks.

Great instructors in your own home at a reasonable price.

Cheers got online stuff from Apple and Optus sport, but a bit of useless fucker unless I have a lycra bound mistress commanding us in the flesh.

Light Centre...

Just the right amount of middle aged wanker about the place, but a fucker of a commute from Hunts Cross.

Good to see that razor sharp wit still in full effect. Is there a things that remind why I don’t post so much on the forum thread?

Or lying on the sofa all day?

A fucked up body deteriorates quicker on the couch, as does a fucked up brain. Exercise is muy importante in my case. I even have a letter off my Doc to say so.

How does Pilates differ from Aerobics classes or Yoga?

More balance stuff than aerobics, more strength than yoga. Good all rounder for a wobbly auld bastard with shot knees and the coordination of a beached whale.

Cheers Skidz.

Ah good to see all you closeted lads still feared to get down with the women in the gym.

too busy watching the wrestling eh?

good to see the place hasn’t changed  much.

Greetings,

This could probably have gone in the ailments or getting old thread, however, back home for a few weeks this weekend for 1st time in 3 years, and need to understand the local standing on pilates.

Had a quick scan on DuckDuckGo for somewhere to go for a few sessions to keep my balance and co-ordination in check and prevent getting too fat on Sayers sausage rolls. Any recommendations city centre or southside?

Isn't Chippy Tits bezzies with Big Len, who is in turn bezzies with Jezza, so maybe it takes a little bit more thought than 'St Jez good/'right wing shills' bad'. The whole party is fucking poison at present and maybe, just maybe, there is corruption that needs to be dealt with, but having Jenrick do it is like asking the Krays to look after Scotland Yard for a bit.

 

Just a thought...

 

Anyhow's Starmer is apparently backing it which is fucking awful, so, yeah, fuck 'em all.

 

I have no idea what's happening up there, but this isn't just political.

 

Anderson and others under inverstigation, removal of candidates with historical links, clandestine lists of potential candidates, no real leaks about anything from either camp about what's happening which is massively strange and now the Tories riding in from out of nowhere?

 

There is far more to this than meets the eye.

Fuck me, even Cherie Blair wouldn’t try and defend this stance, did you get this from Lisa and the crew in 4th year?

First time i've ever had Parliament Live on.  Hoping it's all something of nothing but got a horrible feeling this could be major.  I'm fully with the pushing back of the Tories from this city but that won't make what they've found out any less painful.

Nice!

Robert Jenrick "son and grandson" of a scouser.  Shocking revelation.

Not really, some absolute arseholes have come from the city - McVey, Currie, Coffey (Billinge, but grew up there), Dorries, Nuttall, Hatton, Anderson. At least the first few are honest enough to be Tory or BNP.

but it was the mercantile capital. I grew up in late 70’s 80’s in a maisonette and then a corpy house, there were Tories a few doors down. It was always seen as a mark against them, they were a bit up their own holes.

You only need to buy one copy of Private Eye to see that corruption is endemic at every level of politics all around the country.

I used to love the Eye subscribed on and off for years, but I couldn’t read it anymore due to hislop on HIGNFY, all the shit that was in the paper, and he would still try join in with the labour kicking on the Tv. He knew far better, understood the consequences far more, and, like most from the middle, was likely to he impacted far less by the election of another Tory government.

time he handed over the reins, I suspect AHM might be getting lined up for that.

Obviously saw the fat blue nose bastard and his buds were making a good few quid, and thought can’t be having that, that’s our game.

I hope someone bursts the fat prick, he’s done some damage to the city over the years, but if this goes ahead it could get far fucking worse.

Strikes me there’s a lot of can of Diet Coke with a banquet from the chippy type folks voting here.
