    All other regional fora are pretty active. Does no one have anything to say concerning the North?

    I appreciate this will never be as popular as, say, the Dublin forum but surely there are Boards members in Belfast, or just the North in general who want to talk about local things from sport, socialising, work or just general stuff. I think it is a shame that this forum is so neglected. I for one wish this was not the case.

    If no one has anything to say, then why not post saying why you have nothing to say :)

    I'll join in if others do!! :D

    I haven't noticed as many unmarked cars as I used to. Although I still always slow down on the motorway when I am overtaking a dark coloured Mondeo.

    I have went for a drive with a few mates around a few notorious dogging sites. Well funny!! I must absolutely stress that neither me nor any of my mates are in any way interested in actually taking part in dogging. It is bizarre seeing all these parked cars in the dark very suspiciously.

    One of my mates was at that place during daylight hours recently and witnessed a woman performing an act of fellatio on several men with several more forming an orderly queue :eek:

    Just a coincidence that Belvoir is just down the road from Shaw's Bridge (pronounced 'beaver' if you don't know it...) :D

    The quality of debate on this thread is pretty poor-dogging dodgers and bitchin' bout the 11 Sons of Ulster Fitba' team (sorry 9 Ulster sons, a German goalie and a Norwegian Left-back!)

    I was training up in Belfast about 2 weeks ago. My second time up there this year. It really is a lovely city, but the sight of the Jacks made me cringe.

    Yeah, they're still very prevalent in the stands at Northern Ireland soccer games as well. Yet people from nationalist areas still get severe criticsm from unionists because we support the Irish national soccer team

    I reckon I'd hate to be in Windsor Park for a NI game. If it is anything like it looks on TV it is just a stadium full of fcukers. I hate overtly political things of any description - people behaving in a certain way in the full knowledge that it will offend others, yet not giving a toss.

    Nothing against them in principle though I guess.

    I also hate to see Northern Ireland flags at Ravenhill for the rugby. It is ULSTER, not Northern Ireland rugby. I think it offensive to those from Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan.

    To note, that "flag" is the Ulster Banner. It's not actually a proper flag; it was the flag of the old Northern Ireland government. Now, its actually nothing.. just used.

    The Ulster flag though is similar, but yellow in the background. Ideally, that should be what's displayed. However, we have to remember there's two countries at play, that happen to cover the same existing province. Can just display both :)
