East Béal Feirste

[Tony Baloney]

Aye Westwood but was the barracks not at the Milltown Cemetery junction with Glen Road/Falls?

[ardmhachaabu]

The oul doctors surgery on the corner (Sanco) has a Falls Road address.

I believe the Andersonstown Road starts at the Kennedy way end

[ardmhachaabu]

Interesting HS, it must start at Kennedy Centre then...

Sanco has a Falls Road address for sure, the oul barracks too

Look, the west is okay but if you want to go a bit more fenian upmarket, head towards Ballyhackamore. The fact is that whilst the west has its own Sainsburys now, you are far still far more likely to see two dogs (usually an alsatian and a cocker spaniel)  humping the hole of each other outside the front doors of the Andytown one that you are at Forestside. It's little things like that that make a difference.

Point of order, Sainsburys is not in Andytown.

Point taken. That part of the 'Road' really is an enigma. In Andytown and Falls terms, neither in, nor out .. bit like the dog in pole position tonight!!

The East is grand. I lived there for a few years and never had any hassle. I also know plenty of other Catholics/Nationalists who have lived there without hassle. It has become a lot more mixed with old people dying and their houses being bought by 'young professionals'. At the same time, I still wouldn't walk around in a GAA top.

Having said that, you're better going out a bit from the City Centre. Newtownards Rd, Holywood Rd, Castlereagh Rd, Ravenhill Rd and Cregagh Rd all get rougher the closer you get to the city centre. Personally, I think upper ends of any of those roads, or even the Belmont Road would be grand. Stay well clear of Albertbridge Road, Lower Newtownards Road, Woodstock Road, Lower Ravenhill and even the Sydenham/Connswater Ave side of Holywood Road.

It's in Andytown.

Hard On, i'm not going to argue.. Just accept my point about dogs having sex in supermarkets in the west. Also, dogs lying at the entrance licking their extended length while people walk by is quite common. Agree?

[Orior]

Aye, the dogs in the street know that.

f**king dogs should know better too.

Last time I was in Andersonstown, I saw a flat dog.

Well, it must have been flat, because another dog was trying to pump it up.

Mmmmhhh .. I 'pumped' a dog in a flat one night in Andytown ... funny thing was that she had hair on her back like a dog

Did she bite?

I don't know about £425 though and what you would get for that.  You probably would get something decent in the streets between the Antrim Road and the Cavehill Road.

At that price it would have to be an apt in the Antrim Rd area.  The houses on those streets are the big three storey ones usually, a bit different from the small ones over in East Belfast.  Must go back to the days when the Antrim Road was posh...

At least I'm hoping the £425 is for a property all to yourself, otherwise my sister's friend isn't paying enough rent to us for her room!

Heard that also Hardstation. the bunch of grapes, was first called the Ibrox Bar until Rangers found out and told them they had to change it. so they painted over the I and used a real light paint, the I is still noticeable

Wife before we tied the knot, rented at the Cregagh end of Ravenhill Ave, spent alot of time there, and one thing for sure is that the only "safe" bar to go into in East Belfast was the Eastender!! Just keep your head down and don't go near on International nights or Huns games.

Really? I don't know why but I always got the impression that The Eastender was up to its neck...

It was but compared to the other watering holes it was ok during the week when there were very few about. Infact DD12 scrub East Belfast, why live somewhere that you'll have to travel into city centre all the time to socialise.

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

FFS he's probably moving to the Strand.

Actually St Matthews isn't a bad wee club.
Is the Melting Pot still open?

In my view, Andytown starts at the Barracks even though it is still the Falls Road up to the bingo hall.

That's as close as you'll get. Falls and Andytown Roads start / end at Andersonstown Park junction.
