Anyone have any recommendations for a corporate lunch for Christmas time? Or even a fun activity? In around the city centre would be great. For a team of about 15. Any recommendations at all would be appreciated!

I always notice NI flags and its derivatives, loyalist paramilitary flags, union flags, the usual, but had noticed some Norway flags recently in areas around the shankill road. What would be the reason for that? Also saw a flag with a print of a real picture of a lion on a flag today.

I’ve been told that I’m not eligible to buy my flat under the RTB scheme bc my tenancy (11yrs) isn’t long enough.
I’ve lived here with my father who passed last year so I only became a sole tenant last year as I’m not very old and only started to work in 2024.
I’ve a decent job now and know they’re changing the scheme so want to buy as it was his wish since he didn’t have much.

I’ve been told I don’t have a right to buy the flat despite the fact I’ve been here with my dad for 11 years.

Can I fight this?

I’ve bought a house and every joiner that has came in has told me “they’re the original doors, they’re worth a fortune” any time I’ve mentioned I want new doors. Long story short I’m still getting new doors.

I was wondering if anyone may know of a company that would purchase these doors off us? Instead of just running them to the dump

Hiya ,

I've recently started undertaking driving lessons here, but after 8 lessons (manual) I've decided I wanna change my driving instructor, so I'm wondering if there's any good driving schools/instructors in the South Belfast area. (Under Acclaim for 8 lessons, but the instructor rushes, drives a bit aggressive, and gets annoyed at the simplest of mistakes)

And for any experienced drivers what's the sweet spot for the amount of lessons taken, as I don't have a car to practise with and live alone, compared to my family which lives down south. Thanks!

Is anyone on the Queens Boarding Scheme / Admin Officer panel? I have passed the interview, I'm wondering if I am likely to be placed soon and what people have experienced in terms of waiting times on this panel? How often roles like this in Queens become available? Thanks

If so- do they have a dedicated gluten free pizza oven? I saw on the ‘Find me GF’ app that someone said they do, but I don’t wanna get my hopes up just to get my heart broken over pizza again 💔 I’m bad with cross contamination, and can’t seem to find anywhere that has a separate oven.

Also- do they have any vegan options? (for my friend)

Thank you! ☺️

Really random one. Does anyone know which spars in Belfast still have the washing pods on offer, can’t seem to find any?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some clarity on the current MOT laws in Northern Ireland, as I’ve just called both the MOT booking line (DVA) and the police Fixed Penalty Office, and they gave me completely conflicting information.

My situation:

• I have a brand new car that is coming up to its very first MOT.
• The first MOT is due in November 2026.
• The earliest appointment I could secure anywhere is January 2nd, 2027

However, when I rang the police on 101 and spoke to the Fixed Penalty Office, they explicitly told me that this is no longer the case.

Because it’s a new car hitting its first ever MOT milestone, does anyone actually know what the law says right now? Am I going to get fined if I drive it between November and January?
