    Sorry to hear that-
    A few years ago, My sister had to go to Belfast around the 12th of July for work. Told the employers to either rent her a car with NI reg, book her into hotel with underground carpark or send her by train and pay her taxis. I think the chose the last one.

    Can’t take chances.

    We’re up most weekends, this is the first time it happened us.
    Two years ago friend was staying on a campsite and all caravans with southern reg targeted one night and water pumps stolen.

    I have relations who their family are living in some of these areas.
    They have to phone ahead if they are going up with their 'southern' registered car. The word and reg number is sent around before they go up otherwise they were told it could be targeted.

    Wife’s 15 Kuga vandalised in NI last night parked street side in a “quiet town”. A town flying loads of union jacks, never a welcoming sight.

    Anyone who thinks troubles are anything but “boiling just beneath the facade of peace” is a fool. Brexit and the border are likely to bring more and more trouble out.

    Stayed in Derry during the summer last year. Parked up the jeep and brought the gear into the B and B. The owner goes it's best to move your car in to the public car park. Southern reg attracts trouble. Better chance of being left alone in the car park. It's unbelievable really.

    We were passing through a small town in NI with the caravan last summer, stopped at lights and a guy walks across to talk in the window to me.

    He said he hoped we weren’t staying locally as we’d be a target with the southern plates, best to keep going to somewhere else. I wasn’t sure if it was advice or a warning, just said thanks and wished The ****ing lights changed.

    Coming off the M1 a few years ago, heading for Armagh, got into the wrong lane for our run off on the outskirts of Portadown.
    No problem, thinks I, I'll just swing in here and double back.
    Into a housing estate.
    No joke, in the time it took to find a turnaround, people were coming out of the houses to have a look at us.
    Didn't stop for the chat .....

    it sounds like different world up there, but it can happen anywhere I suppose. I bought a brand new vectra back in the noughties. the car was about 6 months old and I had to park it in cork city. the multi stories were all full but I got a spot on the street opposite the bridewell garde station. I had 2 Kerry flags on the car.
    arrived back to find boot prints all over the bonnet and the windscreen smashed.
    went straight into the station to report it and get them to check the cctv. oh your in a blind spot they told me.
    got it fixed that day and had 4 flags on it the following morning. learned my lesson that day tho.

    Bus company down here running coaches for all sorts of events. Took a coach full of people up north of the border for some event a few yrs back. On the way home bus was attacked with stones and other objects. Obviously loyalists they took offence to the company's address on the side of the bus - Killbrittain

    When the kids were young, herself and her sister took them to Cork to meet a friend of theirs who had moved there a few years before. She parked in a multistory and went off and had a bite to eat and a bit of shopping and went back to the car.


    There were 3 or 4 teenage girls sitting around the pay station and, when they heard the Kerry accents, the abuse started, calling them all the names under the sun, following them as far as the car. The two said nothing, just ignored them as best they could and packed into the car and out as fast as possible. She got an awful shock and flat refuses to go to Cork for any reason at all now if it can be avoided.

    Was in Dublin the time the love Ulster parade was supposed to take place. Friends sister was getting a bus back up from Clare but the buses couldnt get in as things were kicking off so we went in to meet her, an English reg car was crossing a bridge, most likely a car bought by someone down here to save a few euro, a bunch of lads started attacking as it was stopped in traffic throwing whatever they had pulling stones out of their pockets and kicking it. Driver spotted a gap in the wrong direction lane and took off, theybwould have destroyed it. Guards on foot came on the lads and Took off running after the boys, one guard was lightning and managed to catch two of em, who took a fair hopper hitting the ground.
    There was no more protest involved there pure scumbags only shop fronts destroyed and going around with cans of petrol, fcuking saw a bunch of push bikes that were set alight. Dopes wouldn't have likely pointed out the six counties on a map, nor any other county for that matter

    So called republicans wrecking their own city and fighting with their own police force while the northerners were having the last laugh on the buses heading back home

    We used to do the Dublin Belfast maracycle, in Belfast a group of us decided to meet for a meal in the evening, myself and OH were first at the meeting point, 5 or six gurriers copped the southern accent and started mouthing off and winding it up, there was a crowd gathering and the lads were playing to the crowd, what they didn't realise was of course as we were meeting there, the crowd was all southerners, about 40 of us, so they got a quick send off.
    What amused the guys with us was that while the gurriers were calling us papists etc, we weren't that

    I used to live with a guy from England and one from Zimbabwe- I walked in on an in-depth conversation about how Irish adverts are just weird particularly the one that just goes bong bong bong and were they selling Bells or something.

    Was up in Belfast years ago on a trip with a group of lads from klidalton their was a good group of Laois lads myself included, the accent didn’t go down to well, as it sounds exactly like a English travelers, found that out the hard way when a young one I was chatting up at the bar, was dragged away from us by her friend while shouting at us to f**k away from her you pikey, I wouldn’t mind but I’d spent the best part of 20 minutes convincing your one I wasn’t actually a traveler

    That is some weird ****e. Would it not just be easier to eat a bit of steak or something if she is protein deficient or missing meat? It kinda reminds me of the things the Romans got up to when they lost they run of themselves altogether. That some think it's normal bergers belief tbh ...

    Unfortunately it's a whole movement within a movement. There's even cookbooks (I kid you not) devoted to the subject on Amazon. The theory is that if it's given freely eg blood, semen etc then it's not against the basic tenets. Thing is Douglas Adam's in the HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy was on that bandwagon long before the current movement! :D

    Next thing you'll get a letter in the post announcing that your herd is now restricted, and even if it was an annual test that the Dept. would have paid for, now you must pay for it.
    ( Plus the usual Dept rider about losing part of your SFP, 25,000 euro fine, 6 months jail, or all of the above)

    Reading must be done by the end date stated on the letter. We had to get the herd tested to be read read on Christmas eve because nobody wanted to test over Christmas and reading on Jan 2nd wasn't popular either.


    Clear test this morning as well:)
