I lived in Cliftonville, not really that nice a place to be. Most of the people i knew lived in Holylands, i spent most of my time there. My mate Paul's (David Holmes anyone) flat was THE party flat. The smell of stale beer and smoke in that place on a Sunday morning was unreal,the carpet would be soaking with spilt drink.
I think it was Clifton Terrace, or Crescent i lived in. Aah memories....
-Getting those dodgy old shared hackney cabs with no brakes, to work.....
-Answering the door to sinn fein wifies looking for info on an elderly coulple who's house had been petrol bombed. I'm English, long time gone Geordie......
-The first time, having moved there during a ceasefire, i saw armed patrols. Landrovers with kids sticking out the top, guns pointing at me as they passed...
The best thing about Belfast is the patter, the slagging. Even the women, very cheeky and very funny. I really liked the people, Shaftesbury Anenue, going out to Queens, Kellys in Portrush, and going to Dublin.
Edit:- Confusing punctuation...
glad you are out of here im sure !!!!
as i will be !!!!!!!
mate the slagging here is some of the funniest you will see as you say - the old women can be hilarious - and damn right rude - some of the dirtiest mouths ive ever heard have come from elderley belfast women
