[THE_Liam]

Likewise Liam. Friends and family also... its a pain goimg there though. I hate boats and planes! Arg!

I don't go often to be fair, and when I do I fly. I only get the ferry if I'm going to Mayo, then I drive from Dun Laoghaire. Belfast is a place everyone should see at least once, in the company of locals. Then you can see how much shite the UK media talks about what it's like there, and see how it really is. Inspiring and horribly unfair in equal measures.

Couldn't have said it better myself. My old Mans girlfriend lives in NI and I go there a fair bit (not been for s few years sadly) I must say its one of the friendliest places in the UK and never felt out of place, unlike London etc.

Exactly. I'm only half Irish, but always feel more comfortable and happier in Belfast or Dublin than London. Maybe because my English half is Yorkshire, and we never feel comfortable in London, and because Irish people are very proud of their roots and that came from my Irish side, but English people aren't quite as fervent about it so I never got the equivalent from the English side...

Whereabouts do you stay? I've family in Short Strand.
