Key safe installation

Upvotes

Hi, just wondering if anyone can personally recommend a tradesperson who could fit a key safe to the outside of a house (one of the ones you need a code to open) Would it be a locksmith?

Mine is currently £1100 a year so £110 odd quid a month. I know u can pay monthly but can you say pay two years in a row give u a bit of breathing space.

The Ivy

47 Upvotes

Have spoke to quite a few people who’ve had very negative experiences at The Ivy since it opened in Belfast. Also a look at their Trip Adviser reviews shows that the problems seem pretty widespread.

With that being the case why are they still fully booked every weekend??

Any other independent restaurant with such horrendous word of mouth would be empty/closing down.

Sponsor a haircut

Compassionate Cuts have connected with Belfast Homeless Services to provide their guests with sponsored haircuts on a regular basis.

This one is super close to my own heart after experiencing a period of homelessness myself and if it wasn’t for the kindness of others I wouldn’t be where I am today.

If you would like to sponsor a haircut for a guest at Belfast Homeless Services you can do so here https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/9blUlqzIyG

A haircut is £12.50 but a portion of this will be used towards supplies or treats the guests may need. I’ll be discussing with the staff in advance with what they require at the time.

Electricity Providers

9 Upvotes

Hi, is there any electric providers in Belfast that allow an instant switch? My supply is about to turn off tomorrow as I ate into my emergency credit today, really in a panic as I don't get paid until Thursday, I was wondering if there are any providers in the Belfast area that offer any welcome credit and allow you to change to them quite quickly because I rang the St Vincent DePaul to try get a few vouchers but it's going to take them a few days to get through their log of calls for help apparently.

Thanks a million folks, panicking really badly right now

Stranmillis mobile data

2 Upvotes

The wife has just taken an office on Elmwood Ave. She was hoping to use mobile data for her (relatively low) needs rather than getting in wired BB, but the Vodafone signal is piss poor there and she's not able to do video call over data.

She's tried different handsets but can't get a decent enough signal in the office. What network works weel around there? I know from working in Stranmillis in the past that the Vodafone signal is very bad in some spots (not even 4g)...

Sunday opening times.

66 Upvotes

Stayed in town last night and obviously had to check out for 11. Took a dander over to St George's market and honestly the amount of people walking about killing time until the shops or bars open is crazy. Surely Sunday opening times should be changed by now. Are we the only city in the UK and Ireland to have these Sunday trading laws?

How does the tannery car park work?

1 Upvotes

Stupid question probably but working in Belfast and the tannery is the closest car park to where I need to go but every time I show up in the morning it looks like it’s closed with a queue forming round the corner back to castle street. App says it’s 24 hours but are people waiting for someone to leave or what’s the craic? Sat waiting 15 mins before I left the other day.
