Students in Belfast's Holyland

[BenDover]

Umgola ur memory serves u well 

what did ye need a lock for when the door never stopped with people looking for a session!

Yes El Cuervo the littlest Hobo indeed but then i fell in with a bad bunch and have been struggling to make up the ground ever since but I'm getting there.

I'd say them wee spides from that home @ d corner of Carmel St would be responsible for this sort of vandalism the students would be to wasted to do it right lol

[el_cuervo_fc]

El cuervo was it your house in camden street that had no lock on the door?? if i remember rightly it was "trashed" one nite.... 

dont think u were ever there candyman.  i was possibly the only house that did have a locked front door cuz it was an upstairs flat. 

as for the rest of the houses lived in, the lock usually lasted for the entire 1st week. After that nobody cared

someone connected with the ogs had a house/flat just off agincourt and the door didnt close... Remember thinkin it had been broken into and wrecked but apparently the occupants had done it themselves!!! Classy... 

[pintsofguinness]

looks like it was the residents. can we expect a programme on them?

camden street is off the lisburn road, so i think you've got a bit mixed up there.

If it's a house just off agincourt i could possibly have been the house spirit lived in.  there was a mix of og's and harps with a little bit of the Nab in it.  I vaguely recall a few mental nights there.

They're only back a couple of days and it's all kicked off again! God help the poor families living in the area.

Police said a man in his mid-30s had been arrested and is being questioned about the incident.

i remember at the start of last year first week back all student cars on Carmel Street had windows put in and were scraped (someone had obviously recorded which cars werent there over the summer). Probably the same people as Jerusalem Street is only 2 down.

[behind the wire]

rav i dont even think your car burning out would have tempted you to get up before lunch time.

How do you know someone from the country in Belfast??  They refer to the Holylands.  Us native Sammys use the singular.  A bit like news readers referring to trouble in "the" Ardoyne.  Where the feck did the "the" come from??

Simply an indication that they are speaking the wrong language. More bastardisation of the English language by the Irish and should be encouraged at every opportunity.

[Square Ball]

I have always referred to it as the Holylands, Ardoyne is Ardoyne, and I am a local

It is Donagh, its called Ulster Scots

Some of the carry on by students in South Belfast is a disgrace. I don't condone violence but if this action was taken by locals you can't help but understand their frustration at the lake of action by the authorities over many years.

Perhaps they are just following a pattern.
The Falls
The Shankill
The Holyland
The Markets
The Short Strand
The Braniel
and therefore..........The Ardoyne
I don't know.

You must be a relative youngster, hardstation, it was always just Short Strand to me   Maybe it's language evolving but being reared in North Belfast "The Ardoyne" always sounds odd to me.  Anyone ever notice the BBC referring to "Glentoran" as "Glenturran"??  Only sports presenters and that halfwit Jim Rogers seem to use this pronunciation.
