What's it like?

schizophrenic

It's grand. Head up around the twelfth of July in your Celtic jersey to get the full flavour.

Do you have a fleg? This could be the time to visit.

HazDanz · 02-07-2014 09:32PM

Fcuking murals everywhere. Stand long enough one will be on your chest.

magentis · 02-07-2014 09:32PM

Stay away its full of Nordies.

A vexillologist's wet dream!

henryporter · 02-07-2014 09:33PM

Lovely red blue and white flegs everywhere at the moment

Sh1tbag OToole · 02-07-2014 09:34PM

Kind of eerie and dull compared to the counties around it. The place seems to have a permanent depressing feel to it, I could never warm to it.

It's also British so all the bad things that go along with that - Tetley's tea, crap beer, people who are dull as funk, "high streets"

Except Ballintoy. I liked that place

The One Doctor · 02-07-2014 09:36PM

It's fine. Belfast city is good. Never been anywhere else in NI.

fleet_admiral · 02-07-2014 09:38PM

Enniskillen is great craic

Agricola · 02-07-2014 09:39PM

It's like going to a foreign country.

major bill · 02-07-2014 09:42PM

They love a Situation!!!!

DEFTLEFTHAND · 02-07-2014 09:42PM

Quite scenic in places, especially coastal areas and inland counties like Fermanagh.

Senna · 02-07-2014 09:43PM

Were you ever in Moscow?

It's nothing like that.

wazky · 02-07-2014 09:44PM

They love when tourists park cars badly in odd areas and leave a clock ticking in the boot.

Duff · 02-07-2014 09:46PM

Permanently grey with shíte roads.

prodsc · 02-07-2014 09:47PM

bring the right money and you will be grand!

I wouldnt say it's nothing like Moscow. Russia has people who really hate other groups for no reason too.

Ziegfeldgirl27 · 02-07-2014 09:47PM

you are all being so cruel (and ignorant)

yes this time of year its full of "flegs" so i guess can be off putting but aside from that, it's not what you all think and not that different to across the border. Except the Tayto and Dairy Milks aren't as good up here.

dundalkfc10 · 02-07-2014 09:49PM

The women are far better looking than the women down here

Joe Duffy.. · 02-07-2014 09:55PM

****e beer- Tennants and Harp.
Every town looks the same.
Everyone has terrible tattoos.
Terrible accents.
Everyone has a massive chip on their shoulder.

Cienciano · 02-07-2014 09:55PM

Definitely worth a visit, some nice towns and villages. As you'd expect, it's like a cross between England and Ireland. North Antrim coast drive is deadly.
Larne is one of the most beautiful towns on the island *

More dull than Leitrim, Cavan and Monaghan?

* it's not, it's a dump

Since you'd still be in Ireland, it would be no different than going to Cork or Limerick. Different accents, still Irish though.

CarrickMcJoe · 02-07-2014 09:59PM

Its clean, good roads, well signposted. Nice scenery on coast roads. Beaches are not covered in empty beer bottles and dirty nappies.
Everything is cheaper and shop assistants are friendly, they will converse with you rather than grunt or check their phone.
Just stay away from Portadown this time of year.

I don't know why people hate Leitrim so much, must be from watching the Den when they were younger.

Cavan isn't half bad from what people tell me, but if the rest of Monaghan is as depressing as Monaghan town bus station then it's a serious contender for being as dull as any Norn Irish county

Grayditch · 02-07-2014 10:02PM

I really don't like it. It feels like the room you pass though where someone died. But somehow you're to blame. And all nordies are the dead person's family. And all you're doing is buying a sandwich at a petrol station. But they don't want your money. Even though it's their money. Or England's, whatever. It's a bit like a bad dream. The wind always sounds like banshees. The cars are all really loud.

I don't want to go there anymore.

Tail Docker · 02-07-2014 10:04PM

Any time we work up there, it's like that moment when the lad walks into the Saloon and the music stops and everyone turns to look...we now draw straws...

What's so exciting in Leitrim?

They are actually called vexiflegelests in the North.

Strangely, I had never been in the North until a couple of months ago. Even then it was completely against my wishes. My flight from Heathrow was cancelled and I was offered one to Belfast.

I reluctantly accepted.

I've never been to Northern Ireland.
