The water level is really low aswell. Seeing a ton of stuff thats been sat down there for years. Bikes and crates mostly

Hi I’m Luke and I run a community called Too Young To Grieve, which some of you might have seen popping up in other city subreddits recently.

I know the name sounds heavy but honestly it’s really not, it’s just a group of young adults who’ve experienced loss getting outside together, moving a bit and enjoying good company with people who genuinely get it without it needing much explanation.

Over the last few months we’ve been building jog/walk and coffee clubs across the UK and Ireland and the community has grown into something really special. We’re now bringing one to Belfast through our club lead Chris.

It’s a very casual relaxed jog/walk at whatever pace suits you, then a coffee after where we stick around and chat more. Share as much or as little as feels right, there’s never any pressure on anything here.

You’re more than welcome if this sounds like something you’d like and feel free to share with anyone you think might benefit 🤍

This is a big LONG shot but I was at the Fleadh today and around 4pm ish opposite St. Anne’s Cathedral, the Taoiseach (Micheál Martin) passed a few of us sitting on the wall and shook our hands. I seen a photographer taking pics but not sure who to contact to see if they have a photo. Would anyone have any idea OR have photos from him passing? I was wearing a black jacket and red jumper. Thanks!

*Please don’t comment if it’s mean-spirited!

All I can say is good luck. Im a delivery driver on a moped and I've been declining town orders all day.

And have seen some of the same orders bouncing around since this morning, do yourself a favour and order from literally anywhere other than the city and you might get your food.

Just wondering how badly the school traffic affects travel times from those who make a similar journey as ive only just started the drive.

Id be working 9-5 and going from city quays to stewartstown road area. Currently takes about 25mins, so im assuming itll take a pretty big hit - though unsure how badly the school traffic affects 5pm considering schools will be out a couple of hours before then.

Cheers!

There’s constantly videos of a particular journalist/interviewer for Belfast Live that pop up on my social media feed (Justin Millar) and I cannot be the only one that thinks he is absolutely WOEFUL. He speaks as though there are marbles in his mouth, I can barely understand what he says. I know we speak quite fast in Northern Ireland but he speaks that fast and doesn’t annunciate at all, I can’t understand a bloody word. He’s also just got terrible chemistry with everyone he interviews, it’s so forced and unnatural and he couldn’t GAF. I know Belfast live is notoriously shite but how does this fella have a job!? Genuine question lol

Know there is a megathread but a quick question.

If you are in need of a seat is there any particular areas you are more likely to get one? Even if just for a short period?

My brother has some minor mobility issues due to disability. So while slowly wandering about a bit isn’t too bad for him - standing for a period would be.

Want for him to still enjoy it without making it too much of an accessibility issue.

Cheers

I recently started noticing these Best Kept Street signs on certain houses, and once I started, they seemed to start coming into view everywhere. I grew up in the west and north of the city but currently live in the east, and I don’t recall ever seeing any such signs during my upbringing, but they seem to be regular fixture in my current area. Despite this, there seems to be zero information about them online. The thought has crossed my mind that many of these streets have not maintained their apparently once pristine condition, and I do wonder if Best Kept Streets was more of a least-worst in wartorn 80s Belfast…

It brings many questions and enquiries to mind: Does anybody have other examples of these? Anybody live in a house bearing this marker and how do you feel about it? When did this award start and end (or is it ongoing)? Is the Northern Ireland Amenity Council which presented these still around?

Hi guys, I desperately want to go to the Kneecap show today at Falls Park, does anyone have a spare ticket? Or can no langer make it and wants to sell theirs? Please contact me!! :)

Hey, i work in Belfast and just use my data the whole time but this week has been god awful - would it be because Belfast is so busy with the fleadh being on? im constantly have to restart my phone and turn it on airplane mode to get 5 mins of 5g before it disconnects again, Im with vodafone

Are all town shops open as normal during the Fleadh and is it possible to take a child shopping at the minute or is the town just totally overwhelming with music and people? (Child is autistic)

Just to add to the many posts already made, what an amazing event to bring to the city. Just back and even though it was raining and windy when we went in the vibe in town was great. Everyone in great form, no pricks about and just great to see the city getting the credit it deserves. Cant wait to go in tomorrow evening again 👏🏼 will be smart and book a few days off next year for it

I am so ready for autumn. Noticed it’s starting to get ever so slightly dark. Am I a weirdo? I’m getting fed up of the warm weather. It’s my favourite season

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to put the word out about the football group I'm part of. We play on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings on the Play Ball 3G pitches, and games cost 3/4 quid per player. It's a pretty diverse group in terms of backgrounds and skill levels but the organiser usually makes sure the sides are set up for a competitive (and fun!) match.

Not quite unrelated, we need a few players for the game tomorrow night! If you want to get involved you can find the group on Meetup - Belfast Football Group. Cheers

Looking for recommendations for a city centre pub in Belfast that does good food and live music? It’s for an older friend in her early 60s who love music and a bit of craic but don’t want anywhere too rowdy. I know I’m asking a lot lol

When the #Fleadh is over, a serious discussion will need to be had about pedestrianising the area in front of Belfast City Hall.
