Belfast gets new Tourist Attraction

Old_Git

well would you go to a war zone for your holidays .
We know its not all like that but the tourist dont.
I know there is a poster on here who asked about going to Belfast in February and staying in the premier Inn .Now they have changed their mind because off recent news reports

I wonder is there a market for Recreational Rioting Tourism.....??
so you could come, play a few rounds of golf, Drink yourself senseless then head of for a bit of stone throwing and petrol bombing.......
Now how much would you pay for a weekend of that....... May be good for organised Stag Weekends!!

How would the travel insurance be for that? would there be cover for your bonce when hit on the skull by a polisman's baton? Will you be ok for treatment for a plastic bullet in the groin?

Although there is some humour in warm hands posting #30 there is truth there also. My passport says Irish Citizen. I sometimes visit. If i have any people with me who havent been to Norn Iron before i must say that some can and do feel a little anxious. Even more so when they see the flegs and the peelers all fenced in an all. The last thing the country needs is this kind of thing all over the news. It doesnt take much to scare the tourists off and worst of all,big business.

I can certainly see your point and agree with you. We are avoiding going into Belfast just now. Nobody wants to be caught up in violence. Riots are scary things to be near.

My understanding is; they fire low to avoid hitting you on the napper. You rarely die from a hit on the gentleman vegetables

I know. I was viewing an FT DVD the other day after not seeing any of the series for years and i just laughed my head off. For some reason my GF cant appreciate the humour..

Sacrilege,I defy anyone to watch the episode with dougal driving the milk float with the bomb on it and father ted and other priests have the idea of praying for him from a trailer pulled by a tractor,its hilarious.
