Epic WTF

The fact that it's not a voice actor but some bloke with a NI accent makes it quite likable imo. I'd get one if I had a property to 'protect'.

It has a camera - if your eyes are too far apart, it just shoots you.

If video games have taught me anything, it is impervious to damage, but knock it over before it sees you and it'll shut down.

After spraying bullets everywhere for five seconds.

Also shoots you if you say the 'h' the wrong way ;)

It is basically this guy reincarnated ;)

IT HAS RETURNED

She was "left furious"... I'd have been laughing my head off.

If we've got to head into a dystopian robot controlled future, it better have regional accents rather than received pronunciation.

Edit - I'm very much looking forward to the enforcement robots with accents from Hull threatening to "bray" people

There were sirens and lights flashing - it was very Big Brother-ish. If you'd have been of a nervous disposition or had a heart problem who knows what might have happened.

Who knows indeed

That's pretty much how I remember life in NI and why I haven't been back there for 20 years.

That’s crying out for someone with a 5m selfie stick to come along and push it over.

So if you want to thwart it’s evil plans you just pop a bin bag over it right?

I used to work with lads who’d 100% chuck that in the van and have it weighed in for scrap within hours just for it having the audacity to beep at them.
Have seen them popping up around some big works yards and along motorway roadworks at night when they leave plant along the side of the road.

It's just begging to be nicked. You might need to spray something in the speakers to shut it up. Difficult to make a clean getaway when it's all shouty.

Belfast has changed a lot in the 19 years I'm here.

Far more people from all over the world, LGBTQ tolerance has improved vastly etc.

Scrubbed up well in places though some interface areas are still bad...and mental health issues are a big problem.

Unfortunately the gobshite parodied here still exists in politics! :)

I used to work in an Asda that was a literal 5 minute walk from one of the biggest cop shops in Glasgow and when we hit the panic buttons when, for instance, a guy pulled an axe when he got busted shoplifting, it took the rozzers about a fucking half hour to come. Nae chance they're screaming through the countryside on the blues and twos coz one of those things has gone off.

Yeah just got back from our second weekend trip to Belfast this year. We always have great fun. Excellent food, especially vegan options, great indie bars and pubs, good coffee.

I recommend Napoleon, Established, The Pocket, and Oh Donuts for coffee. Jumon and The Woodworkers for food. Belfast is great.

This reminds me of when a shooting occurred at a bar in Old Street. The Police armed response team were based a few hundred metres away but still took an hour to turn up.

If you like walking grab a 12 or 2 up to Carr's Glenn and make your way up the Cavehill and see Belfast from to top. It's 2-3 hours depending on route and hoe fast you want to go.

You can also cycle from Big Fish to Lisburn past the Lagan river on a rented Belfast bike which is a nice slow route.

There's a coffee shop, sandwich shop and a few basic ocal eateries.

Jumon is indeed good I had food there, nice flavours.

I'm back over in Belfast next weekend for work (I now live in London but run a team that are mostly based out of Belfast). I lived there for 6 years 2000 - 2006 (grew up in North Down and then went to Queens). The improvement now from then always shocks me. The vegan options thing is very real (not that I am vegan, but I noticed it). There's a place I went to last time I was there, it's down near the Kremlin. A bar in a big old warehouse with a load of pop-up style food places along one side. By all accounts, a condition of getting a food place in there is that you had to have vegan options. It was great, you could sit and have your pints, then dander over and get whatever food you wanted, good variety too, cracking poutine. Maggie Mays up by queens also has a full, separate vegan menu.

I do miss the old Limelight and Auntie Annie's though.

I do miss the old Limelight

Testify

Do you miss the smell of dope on the streets? I venture to Belfast as little as I can - even Ballymena isn’t that bad! And that’s not easy 😂😂😂

3 night a week, £1 a bottle of warm Tennents, two in each back pocket, one in the left hand, roll up in the right. 2% success rate trying to pick up someone you liked the look of. Roll around the corner to the Emerald for a Special Snack, half rice, half chips, chicken balls, peking sauce (off menu hack) and a can of diet coke. Stagger back up to your shared house on the Lisburn Road.

Definitely my favourite Mike Skinner track.

Lol :)))

Summer of 92 I lived there (or in the top bar at Lavery's), walked through the door of the Dome and the Tennent's (urgh, even the thought now...) would be poured by the time I reached the bar. By the end of the night, I'd have invariably failed to pull, apologised to the statue at the bar for bumping into him about 3 times and been threatened by spides on my way back to our well-dodgy Donegall Rd hovel (with a gravy half-half).
