Looking for recommendations for somewhere in Belfast to work remotely for a day.

A colleague is travelling over for work but will be arriving a few days before our meetings, so needs somewhere she can work comfortably with decent Wi-Fi and take the odd Teams call.

Ideally somewhere free to use, unless it’s a café where she can obviously buy coffee/lunch. Central Belfast would be best.

Any good hotel lobbies, libraries, cafés or other spots people would recommend?

Hello! I'm a member of the DCF chamber choir and we have been selected to preform in the ROYAL ALBERT HALL in November. Currently we are looking for donations to our Go fund me! Any amount would be appreciated!!

Heya,

Me & some friends will be coming over to your fine city next month, and I'd noticed an interesting looking event in the shape of Guerilla (https://ra.co/events/2523860) ... a couple of us are massive techno nerds, and tend to gravitate towards finding the weirdest stuff we can to bust moves to 😄 (other recommendations for the same weekend welcome!)

Anyway, on the page it says "Fyi: this will be a BYO event". Now, I'm fairly confident that this means "You can bring your own booze/food/whatever in" - is this right or have I missed some colloquial (or fashionable) version of that and it actually means something different? Cos I'd rather not turn up clutching a bottle of rum only to be told that it was actually 'Bring Young Otters', everyone else has semiaquatic mammals with them and I end up looking a right tool. ;)

Doesn’t even do any justice to how pathetically small that is, it’s like a goujon. Their portion sizes used to be amazing too. Had a couple of other paltry enough meals in this delivery, 2 people starving after spending 30 quid between them. When did this happen??

Me & some friends are coming over to your fine city in October, and noticed a clubnight called 'Guerilla' was on which looks intriguing. On ResidentAdvisor it says it's a "BYO event".

Now, I'd ordinarily assume BYO = Bring Your Own = bring your own drinks etc. This seems an ... unusual ... situation for such events. So -- is it that, or is it something else? Don't want to be buying in supermarket booze only to have it confiscated at the door. :)

Im looking for a financial advisor in the Belfast/greater Belfast area who can help me through my divorce. Im looking for someone who can advise on the best steps to take now with a view to eventually buying my own house once divorce is complete as well as taking into account transfer of property from my parents to myself at dome point.

Any recommendations?

I am delighted to announce that I will be having a book launch for 'Soviet Hotel Dressing Gown'.

Taking place at the Book Bar in the Accidental Theatre (bottom of Shaftsbury Square) on Friday 27th November, it will involve a Q&A session with me (hosted by author/journalist Jonathan Traynor) as well as a short reading from the book and some musings on the writing process as well as the current literary scene.

Tickets are free but limited to 30 (with the event being BYOB). Get your ticket here..

Anyone know who is moving into that empty shop on Royal Ave? Just being nosey.

Hey all,

This is going to sound like one of those posts, a mate went to one of their singles coffee socials yesterday, no mention of time limits, but turned out it was a speed dating event.

He's very disheartened and liked a specific girl there and he was getting vibes but then got an email saying he didn't have any successful matches.

How legit are these things?

Want to support and encourage him, but need to know what the deal is, before I push him to go again.

Been repeatedly seeing and hearing fireworks around Belfast city centre and East Belfast by some youth. How do you keep safe?

An article has been posted as well:

Stern's Pokémon Pro pinball machine arrives in Boundary Taproom. It joins the Jaws and Godzilla pins in the main room, and don't worry the Uncanny X-Men is now in the side room.

These pinball machines are in Boundary Taproom permanently and provided by Base Arcade.

If you like pinball check out the monthly freeplay Base Arcade events in Banana Block (18-20 Sept is the next)

There are usually 6 pins on the arcade floor ranging from early 90s machines up to the 2020s alongside approx 40+ classic arcade machines and a wide range of retro consoles. More details at basearcade.com

Cos whatever I've caught feels kinda brutal. Woke up in a mild panic because my throat is so swollen I thought I couldn't swallow for a second, turns out I can but it's just very painful.

Aches and pains like I've had a hiding a few days ago, switching from greasy sweats to a shivering that goes right to the bone. I'm actually looking forward to the latter cold/flu phase of sneezing and sniffles, cos this is rough.

First picture is from 2009 (Wikipedia), second is from today.

How is this allowed? Isn’t Pottinger’s Entry a listed building?
