Things that make you go What the F**k?

[The Bearded One]

The taxi driver on 100k, he selling drugs on the side, like the Larne soccer team bus driver!

Tates Avenue had a firm delivering booze and fegs at one time out the boot. Wonder if its still a thing.

Dial-a+drink.

They would have been plan B back in the 90s if you had no success with knocking the side door of the Hatfield at 1am looking for a few cans.

Grub from the hatch in the Shell garage and cans from The Hat. Used to be queues outside the place in the 90s.

Good times 😎🤓

Simpler times!

As a country boy moving to the big smoke, the lower Ormeau at 2am was no place for the faint hearted!

You could add Bradbury Place to that, always great craic around McDonalads & Bishops.  Some nights you could have had more 'success' in these places than in Laverys or the M Club.

We must all have been knocking around the same places.
I remember the lad who worked at the hatch in that Shell garage was always stoned off his head.
M-Club had me barred for about a year when it opened, even though i'd never been in  the place. First night I got in, a row broke out behind me, didn't even know them and wasn't involved, bouncers threw me out and barred me. lol.
Bishops, mickey d's, spuds all lively there after the night out. There doesnt seem to be anything like that now about the 'shaft.

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Any ormeau Rd regulars would also know SUUSAAAAAAN in the Chinese 🤣🤣

Wee locals would come in and jump the queue but you wouldnt say a word in case the da was in the ra lolol

Young fella you.

I was probably in and around the Holy lands a few years after leaving Uni when working down in lovely Lurgan till the mid to late 90's.

I'd stay up all summer and remember the night the peelers turned the Ballynafeigh lodge from crossing the Ormeau Bridge into the lower Ormeau and the wee riot that ensued. We lived just off Agincourt at the time.

I also remember trying to go to the garage on the 12th morning and the RUC landrovers parked back to back, blocking off all those wee side streets, yet the Holy lands side was all open.

Hard to live under those circumstances.

I was in the Holylands that year. Every road from the Holylands onto Ormeau was blocked off. '96 or '97 I'd say. That **** waving 5 fingers a few years previously should have been fucked over the Ormeau Bridge.

'I spent £2,000 on one event': Why Gen Z is obsessed with Hyrox

In fairness that is completely misleading. She spent 2 grand going to Chicago not entering a hyrox event.
