To Be Slightly Smug That I Live in Belfast

and therefore have had one day of not that much snow?

No panic buying here. No lack of grit (isn't grit just dirt and some salt? How hard could it be to get more?!?!). No school closures.

Just very very cold and very very sunny.

I know its a stupid thing to be smug about, but we are usually the ginger haired step children of the UK, so its nice to not be having a tough time right now.

Oh and we have juicy scandal with First Minister's Wife, MP Iris Robinson, and her now 21 (19 during the affair) year old lover...

Florida is flat and has only one season. There are wonderful things about it but I am really settled here. This is wehere I've started my family. Home is where the heart is and all that.

Belfast is the best place on Earth.

However, YABU about the snow.....I could not get my dd to the childminder on Thursday due to the snow.....

LOL at smugness, ginger-jokes, scandal.

And very impressed you managed to get so much juiciness all in one thread!

Can I just say I have never had or heard of cheese on potatoe bread!

cheese on toasted soda and lots of butter hmm

paulaplumpbottom · 10/01/2010 14:27

I haven't either. I still haven't developed a taste for soda and potao bread.

Tee2072 · 10/01/2010 15:02

I can take or leave sodas, but I love potato bread.

And San Francisco is very similar to Belfast in terms of weather! But there's more hills there.

eh? MIL is outside Ballymena and has barely been out of the house for 3 weeks

TinyPawz · 10/01/2010 22:29

Best thing ever to have on potato bread is smoked bacon and cruchy peanut butter.....yummmmm

FerretInYourTrews · 10/01/2010 22:45

Soda farls and bacon... yum.
I'm in Lisburn and there's been snow here and even though it hasn't been that much some schools were still closed.
I love living here and am really going to miss it when I leave. The only thing I wont miss though is the rain.

UndomesticHousewife · 10/01/2010 23:01

I lurve genesis honey and yoghurt wheaten toasted with cheese on top.

UndomesticHousewife · 10/01/2010 23:02

And I lurve even more veg roll

petisa · 11/01/2010 16:59

TinyPawz?s suggestion sounds v weird. UndomesticHousewife?s first suggestion sounds v posh.

However, veg roll is definitely not posh! Lol at how it?s called ?veg? roll, as if it?s made of spinach and broccoli or something.

TinyPawz · 11/01/2010 19:48

Petisa honestly it is the best thing since sliced bread!!!

Try it just once..... and come back singing its' praises
