I lived in Belfast for a few years and the City centre definitely feels like a safer city at street level than Irish or English cities of comparable size.

Aye Belfast is pretty safe. I got attacked down there by republicans on one occasion but to be honest I shouldn't have walked past the area. They knew I wasn't one of them simply due to where I was walking towards.

I was drunk so me and my mate thought we would be ok. My mate was badly injured but luckily for me my build probably saved me as the fellas that attacked me were wary of me. I couldn't even have bit my fecking finger either so I got away with it lightly.

Aside from that aspect Belfast seems pretty safe. As I said mugging etc are pretty much unheard of in Belfast. It's a nice city to be honest despite its problems in the past.

How do you know they were Republicans?, did they leave a card or something when they beat you up. :rolleyes:

Not getting into that crap.

Obviously I didn't mean specific sectarian aggro - of any hue - in certain areas of the city or at certain times.

In general, the main parts of the city centre (essentially where everybody mixes) always seemed to me in my 4 years there to be less prone to random aggro and junkie crap than other cities.

I hope it was a hardback, would do more damage

Sorry I didn't mean to drag the sectarian element in specifically. I just meant to highlight that that was the only hassle I ever got in Belfast walking about. That could just as easily have been loyalist youths jumping Catholics walking home. And I could have avoided that incident through a bit of common sense.

Aye Belfast city centre is dead on. Lived in the English Midlands for while and wouldn't have felt safe walking about the city at night at all.

Well they were calling us orange b@stards, black ba@tards, and prodestant c@nts. (Seven against two.. Lovely odds)

Maybe they were unionists but just a little schizophrenic. Eh????

You would probably know best. (Rolls eyes)

Btw as I said I'm not going down this route on this thread anyway. I was simply highlighting that aside from that incident (which I should have and could have avoided) then Belfast is a pretty safe city.

So in your eyes, sectarian slurs are only spouted by Republicans, and not just any toe-rag?

Great logic there my good man.

Please refer to post number 127 where I said it could just have easily been loyalists attacking people. You are reading into something that is not there.

Maybe the little gurrier has learnt his lesson.

In future he should just prey on feeble old age pensioners.

eh surely you only stay and fight if it's the only option?
I've run from several muggers over the years. I can run like a hot snot, can certainly outrun a scrote. So why wouldn't i?

I grew up reading Sherlock Holmes novels.

In those novels one of Sherlocks greatest strengths was his under ground network of homeless people who worked for him for a pittance. But he somehow always used to garner critical knowledge from these people by offering them minimum wage.

Having tried to recreate that.... I think I can with some confidence say.... that the guy who assured you he will remember you.... wont.... at all.... even if he takes time out to remember who he himself might be

It was pretty god dam funny reading it when he said "you will be dead", PRICELESS !!!
