The other destinations in no particular order were:
The Mournes
Portstewart
The North Coast
Ballycastle
Newcastle
The Fermanagh Lakes
Enniskillen
Belfast

In case I'm very much mistaken The North Coast could have taken in Ballycastle and the two Ports.
Unbelieveable really.

Ballycastle is a shithole (not only when us Frankies head up to Silvercliffs).
A horrible wee town.

Newcastle - Even worse.
I really don't understand the attraction with either Portrush or Newcastle. The only people I've ever heard raving about them have been prods. Why?

The good people of loyalist Ulster crossed the border tonight into Donegal. In at #10 in the top ten weekend destinations. That shithole Portrush was top.

Donegal is a far, far better spot than portrush.
Really? Went to Letterkenny once and a Ballinascreen man was pishing in the street. He got a hammering for it, to be fair.
To be fair Letterkenny isn't representative of Donegal or any other county for that matter. It is let down by the fact that it is full of hill folk from Tyrone and Derry at the weekend. The combination of bright lights, alcopops and actual live women has an overpowering effect.

(1967 - When asked if he would like to visit the Soviet Union) "The *******s murdered half my family.."

To which I would retort: You b**tards have murdered half my country.

If Joe Stalin had been in charge at the time, he'd have taken the lot of them out.

Ah yes, Stalin...another of Her Majesty's esteemed allies.
He was dead before she was Queen.

Agree to a degree hereiam. Personally think that the racketeering/profiteering  that styled itself as "The Farmers' Market" some years ago turned people off the concept of local produce.

Still though will always try and buy the local Strawberries/Potatos from the side of the road during the Summer.
Same. Local doesn't mean better. Most local farmers concentrate of quantity rather than quality.

I know a man who retired from his job as a DofA inspector a few years ago and he told me he hasn't eaten chicken in years after what he has seen on the job. Small farmers on the continent are supplying to local farmers markets and shops and therefore don't need to farm intensively and introduce the shoddy practices that follow (pumping animals full of antibiotics, cheap fodder etc.). I think with subsidies etc. we don't have the same artisanal (is that a word?) practices that they have on the contient.

Great show and it's all based on fact. The things those f**kers get up to.
Those feckers in CSI are a force to be reckoned with. No waiting around for lab results for them. Have the killer nailed within the year!

Starts tonight at 9pm on BBC1. Think the last series concluded with Harry being shipped off to Russia.

Ballinderry - Scooting means spitting.

Tyronies - Rookin' means really hungry.

WTF?

Can't say I've ever heard that in my life.

Scundered means two different things. In Belfast it's embarrassed. When I grew up on the ramparts it meant pissed off (eg I'm scundered running up and down those stairs telling them weeins to stop batin thon rat with the gee-tar.)
Another one...

Belfast:
A pockle - a useless **** on the football field.

Tyrone:
A pochal (pawhal) - An awful whinge
                           - A useless fecker who gets in the way

I think it's the same word.
Used in North Antrim too. Generally in the context "he's a pachal of shite".
