Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

Spide, is this something like the word "chav"?

Oh, I know this one - yes, back in the late 80s, when a certain demographic in Belfast almost exclusively wore Rangers shell-suits, they looked like Spiderman, and the term 'spides' was born.

Oh right ok

This... seems entirely out of character for you.

Some stuff may be totally lost on you, some is quite universal.

Ulster Fry is another local one.

Mental indeed, kneecapping and bombing jokes! Inbetween stuck in traffic and politics and bins jokes.

Also, terrible Coughka you have there...

I grew up in Glasgow so understand a bit & a lot of the dark humour transfers well - we're generally quite self-deprecating & foul mouthed, some people find it shocking hearing folk greeting their best friends with a torrent of vile abuse but by the age of 6 you get used to it.

Paves the way nicely for the The Tribunal.

It's probably a sad reflection of society up here that every hilarious anecdote starts with 15 pints...

buys a big bag of cans on the way home

Law & Order:SVU once had a softball tournament as part of a storyline

I remember sitting in a lay-by in Glencoe waiting for the weather to clear for a walk up the valley. A van pulled in next to us and a lad no more than 12 got out the passenger seat wearing full regalia and holding bagpipes. It’s pissing down with only our two vehicles present and him the only one outside. Five minutes pass and he starts to warm up the pipes, two minutes later, soaked to the skin he’s playing fluently and a coach load of tourists turn up for the full Highland experience.
Either that coach was five minutes late or his boss (dad?) is a total shite.

A kid that can play the bagpipes + a coach load of tourists = ££££

The dad probably left him in the rain to keep him humble

Acutalol - this gave me the biggest chuckle I've had on this thread for a while.

Probably took petrol money off him too

LOL

If people in Belfast don't take the piss out of you, they don't like you usually, unless they are posh types.

We get flegs you get... junkies? (sadly that's gotten really bad in Belfast lately... many homeless drug addicts)

EDIT
Italian colleague: Wow NI is so pretty (after I show him Cavehill) it is like Narnia
Me: Shows him article about Tiger's Bay (2 miles down the hill, flegs, sectarian mad murals mixed with murals of people that god love them try to keep the place right)
Colleague: Oh, ok...

No worries, thanks :)

My love for you is like a truck.....
