As someone who lived in Belfast decades later after The Troubles, seeing checkpoints in the middle of a central avenue looks as eerie and strange as looking at Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin. And for similar reasons. Glad that's gone! Thanks for the video too. I still miss NI 🙂
This takes me right back to the good old, bad old days. It takes me back to my old stamping grounds and the perfect soundtrack of my youth. Happy days.
I live in Sweden and have done for over 20 years now. This brings back memories from the ‘80’s when I was a teenager. I love Belfast to this day and always will.
@@jamescrawford9883 I don’t regret leaving either, however I have family and friends there - my parents are buried just outside Belfast. I can’t stand the sectarian hatred, but not everyone is like that, though many are.
@@edwardmulholland7912 I had a sister there who died two years ago. She visited over here a few times (Australia). I don’t fly. I do have two sisters here. Best wishes to you.
Fantastic city, I love the place, the people are so friendly and down to earth. I am born and bred in Liverpool, my Brother was working in the shipyard in Belfast in the late eighty`s and he used to drink in the Rosetta.
Great video, brought back some super memories! Used to go shopping to Supermac with the mother, & in that same wee complex was Stanleys Newsagents, Clarks Shoes, Northern Bank & Mervyn Stewart Cars...those were the days👌
When I was a proper kid,on the the way up castle street to get a black hack home with my ma I always remember asking could we stop into leisure world,that place was the dogs balls for me.
Caroline Music in Ann St(Now Bogart),Rocky Mungos (originally in Linenhall St then Bedford St), Good Vibes (Great Victoria St). Could spend all day in one shop and walk out with a single. Belfast City Centre was an adventure. Got the number 17 or the 16 in
SLF were the first band that I saw live ; the gig that I attended was in The Ulster Hall back in spring 1980. I also sang in a rock group ( who shall remain nameless ! lol) and we played in the Rosetta Bar (affectionately known as The Rosie) in the late 80s !
Saw The Stiffs and Starjets in 79 and later that year with The Members. Have seen them many times since. Loved those days in Belfast. Wasn't a Rosie fan but I did play my one and only gig at The Pound in February 82. I was 15 lol
Leisure world was like better than Disney world to me as a kid from Belfast, I remember goin into town..15p in a black taxi. Think I probably was 9-10 at the most! I spent many a Saturday afternoon in leisure world, looking and tryin out the latest games and toys that were available on display. After a few hours, security use to give me my marching orders if I wasn't buyin anything..which was every week lol. Rem winning a coca cola (super spinner) one day in leisure world, was the best thing ever..I was over the moon. The memories are all flooding back after watching this video.
when I stayed in Belfast in August 2015 in spite of the pictures painted by the press, I felt safer, whichever area I was in, than I do in my hometown in Southeast England
Superb. My cousin worked in Belfast. At Harland and Wolfe in the eighties and he used to drink in the Rosetta Bar. I also have visited this wonderful city,hundreds of times. I am from Liverpool and the people of Belfast are just like us. Dead straight and take no shite. I love Belfast and all its lovely people.
I now live in Sligo. Been living in the town since 1980 . I do remember Stewart's and also crazy prices. I think were supermac was is now forestside could be wrong though. I remember back in the 1980s visiting friends in Dunmurry we used to play in the golf course we would go into a field off the golf course with Fields and trees. I have not been in Dunmurry since the mid 1980s. I visited Dunmurry for the first time since then a few years ago. I couldn't get over the changes it is all new road systems everywhere. Part of the golf course is gone the Fields and trees we would play is now a duel carriageway onto the M1.
Mm well remember staying in the Europa (up on the Enterprise from Dublin which then went to next door Gt Victoria St station). Oh and the security hut and cordon round the Hotel.
Love Belfast and im not even from Belfast. I lived as a student for years there. And dream to go back for work again ... i had my first ever kfc there in 2007
Lol, I can remember the traffic reports back then," traffic is heavy at the supermac lights", but back then the rush hour was the rush hour, today it's the rush all day,!
loved the video,At the edge is my favorite SLF song.hope to see them on the 19 August in Belfast,i remember they had a song called White Noise which was a bit edgy,i wonder if they could sing it now
I also remember those strong bin men having to carry those big heavy metal bins to and from the bin lorry which was a lot harder than the current wheelie bins. I also remember newspapers being delivered to our houses by paper boys which doesn't seem to happen these days.
@@gremlinuk1968 You are the Dumb Arse. Fuckwit. The Bins in them days were heavy as fuck,because a lot more people had coal fires,so the bins were loaded up with ashes as well as the normal house trash.
I’m from Portadown and my Ma brought me to leisure world once when I we were visiting my Dad around 77 or so I’m 50 now and I still remember how in awe I was tbh fcukin brill then, ps my Ma told me my Da was working in the action man department makin my Christmas presents then that’s why I only seen him a couple of times a year then 🤣😂😆😂 unreal.
Sizzlers were the trainers of choice!!! I remember the 2 big baskets in primark. Grey and red, or black and red were the only 2 colours on offer. A pair for a whoppin £2.99....big doe in them days 🤣🤣🤣
I dunno about everyone else but the fact that out of a 6 minute video and countless clips/comments that single word is what you pick out to focus on says a lot more to me
You can easily tell a Protestant made this......Rathcoole estate and boat to the "mainland"......should have been a view from both sides, but still an enjoyable view nonetheless
@@pearse10000 I don't think any religion or religious denomination calls the island of Wales, Scotland and England 'the mainland' . Nor does the Bible.
@@OhEidirsceoil indeed, apparently lots us make them commenting on the internet about things we aren't particularly clued up on, then follow up with a bitter response when we're called out.
Who cares who made the video. When I was growing upvwarching the boats going down the Lough, they where going " across the water ". I used to wonder if I'd ever get to sail in one of those big boats. Eventually I did. On a foreign holiday with ulsterbus.
jimmy cricket and frank carson didnt keep us laughing, both were a total embarrassment to n.ireland and were switched off as soon as they appeared on tv
