Was at the Galgorm at the weekend and three proper Belfast spides came into the the bar, early 20's they had trekkies on, while their girlfriends were dolled up..

I couldn't afford shit when I was that age, and if I could I wouldn't be spending it at the Galgorm, I was only there as it was a xmas gift
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

I love how people from Manchester are called Mancunians, from the original Roman name for the city, Mancunium.

Liverpudlian comes from a humourous 19th century change from 'pool' to 'puddle.' Apparently the city's name means 'muddy pool.' Old English lifer (thick, clotted water) + pol (pool), referring to a muddy tidal pool. (Scouser is probably more commonly used though.)

From the same book:

A Belmulletite.

Maybe it's  just towns and cities that have  these descriptions, rather  than counties?
