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...
