They used it on 24hrs in police custody. Just looked like a good tiktok filter, but the Lucy Letby thing smacks of creepy uncanny valley.

Smart meters
Yay or nay?
I'm still on old school, cleared my balance the other day and it left me £30 in credit.
Few days later i'm due them £80. Fuck me sideways and upside down.

Anyone seen that wee island about half way across the forth rail bridge? It’s a wee bunch of buildings and the last one has a cross on the top. Fucks that?

Inchgarvie. Took a tour of it when I was a kid. Can't mind if the buildings are an old prison, military defences or were used building the bridge.

Not sure if they still do tours, but a nice wee family trip then a scran in South Queensferry would be an idea.

It’s been them all plus a place for plague victims as well I’m sure

Interesting info lads, will look into it.

You can still do tours of it. The boats leave from the harbour at South Queensferry, it’s good for about 20 minutes.

Think it might be seasonal though. Usually April/may

Pokemon is going bat shit crazy at the moment, very little stock anywhere and it's apparently making crypto look like a way baby in terms of profits.
I bought a not very popular trainer box a couple of years ago and it's now worth 4x the price (well it would be if i didn't open it)
My local shop had 16 packets of cards left at £3.99, looked online and they're going for a tenner each.
Bought the lot of them.

The pokemon store on amazon is invite only for most of the products and near enough everything is out of stock on the official website.

Craaaaaaaaaazy.

In Belfast until Sunday with Mrs Khali. Any recommendations for boozers/restaurants?

Staying in the cathedral quarter. By chance right next to sandy row Laugh

so went for a wee wander earlier.

Going to yardbird/the dirty onion tonight for some scran. The Guinness flowing GodIsGod

**Charlie Kelly** · 02-20-2026, 05:50 PM

The Crown is a good boozer, we went to Bittles as well which is a random small narrow pub that was good as well.There were others we went to that were class as well but I can't remember where they were or what they were called Laugh

don't think we went to a bad pub.

We only went to pubs when we went over for the weekend a couple years ago but food wise, we didn't have a bad bit of grub in any pub we went to. Loved it in Belfast.

**The Great Khali** · 02-20-2026, 05:59 PM

Think the crown is round the corner from the hotel so will pop in there. Cheers Sound

Cathedral quarter is great. Kelly’s Cellar is meant to be the best Guinness, worth swinging in there. If you get up towards Holywood, great pub food and views at the Dirty Duck and you can have a wee wander around where Rory grew up jjay

Do a black cab tour. Well worth it.

Nah the mrs is away visiting her pal in Donaghadee.

Got lucky going to the airport, just after the bridge saw smoke coming off a mini and by the time we passed it was in flames. Way back 20 minutes later the cars a shell and the motorway is closed, queued all the way back past Rosyth.

Heading over later in the year but probably take the car on the ferry
