Here's my crap directions lol...

Its just at the end of the footbridge, that takes you over to the Odyssey, beside the lagan lookout. Just across the road from custom house square.

HTH (and makes sense!)

It's on the city side of the Lagan river, opposite the rear of the Customs House. It depends on where you know in Belfast, it's close to the Laganside bus station, McHughs pub or yer woman with the big hoop............

Starting from the front of City Hall facing into the City Centre, you have Marks and Spencer to the right in front of you (the side of M&S that is). If you walk along that street down to the Waterfront Hall and turn left, the big fish is probably about a 5 minute walk, if you stick along the river you'll walk right to it. You walk past the woman with the big hoop and the big fish is just a little bit past it. Anyone will direct you.

They are putting some weird thing at Cornmarket too. The Spirit of Belfast. Oh and the two women outside the Great Northern Mall.

The two women outside Great Northern Mall are ladies of the night, marking the history of that area, especially Amelia Street. They've been there a few years now.

Yes ladies of the night wander round Belfast with typewriters hanging round their necks.:p Its how the customers spot them.

ooo000ooo

What's the crack with those 2 transit vans beside the customs building? Was round there the other day for the first time in ages and they looked abandoned & vandalised?

I like the hoop lady, she makes me smile

And the women outside Northern Mall are meant to represent the women of Belfast not especially ladies of the night.

Finally the two vans belong to some music promoters. With the new policy of painting over flyposts, they're trying to come up with new ways of getting the flyposts out. I've noticed a proper 'driving' van parked around south belfast for the limelight and spring and airbrake and they've taken a proper advertising billboard at the bottom of Botanic Ave and put flyposts on it (legally I presume cos they aren't painted out). I think whoever owns those ones down by Custom House Square have taken it one step further by flyposting on the shell of vans in that space but the council have still painted over the posters so they must judge that as illegal. Not sure what the wheels being off is about though. It does look terrible. I'm all for urban art but that's taking it a bit far!
