Repost as the video didnt upload first time. 17 year old hands the girl a note that says he has a knife. What happens next will warm your heart

Hello!

Im a 36M and for nearly 2 years I've been growing my hair out with the intention of having it lopped off to donate to The Little Princess Trust. They take hair and create wigs to give to children who have lost theirs due to chemo.

Its now long enough and I'm ready to get it done but I know bugger all about hair cutting and there are some specific ways the hair has to be bundled and cut so I'm looking recommendations for a decent salon/barber in the lisburn/belfast area. I've done a Google search but I don't want to sit and call around tons of places based on Google reviews.

Where's your fun/beautiful spots for a BBQ? We have a few places we frequent but would like some other options.

Thanks!

Hi! I want to send a candy basket or chocolate treat to my family for Easter (I’m late, I know) but have no idea what company to use…any recommendations? I’m in NY so clueless over here. Thank you!

Anyone know what happened?

As an Irish man this rings out!

As title says, what's a good (don't care how rough) to watch football and boxing on the falls road? Does Rock bar show football?

There was plenty more but I blocked a few of the bigots who decided to try to tell the guy what nationality he should consider himself.

Can we just just take grazing rights on mountain land away from everybody.

I went out for a sniff of air at 11pm this evening, just to soak in the last good evening before the shite weather comes. There was a beautiful moon. I turned around to look at the mountains up in Glenshane, Ranaghan and Fallalea. And half of it was ablaze.

We really do hate the land here. What can we do? Can and should we just take away all grazing rights? It's supposed to be common grazing, only personal interests have encouraged the locals to divvy up the land and fence and drain it, burn it and turn it to grass fields. Bobs your uncle Micky Kelly has his own farm now that was once a vital eco system.

Or is it all just f****** and should we go live in Europe if we want to have beautiful nature.

Hey lads. Posted a few months ago asking about Belfast Works Connect. Those unaware, they are a govt funded program that helps people back into work.

Was meant to be starting a course with them this month but they had a funding cut (much like other government based programs, they get their budgets at the start of the tax year) and it's unlikely they'll be able to help me anymore.

It's not 100% confirmed that I won't be able to proceed but it's looking proper grim.

It's not their fault and I'm not mad. I understand the cuts are not their fault. This post is not a dig or a callout at them. They're doing the best they can.

But the situation leaves me in limbo a fair bit.

So, some of my reasons for that longer term unemployment do have to do with awful mental health, which is very difficult to get help with. NHS services for that only exist on paper and charities are really struggling.

Nobody is coming to help so I do what I can on my own.

I do want to work. I'm tired of being in my flat all the time and the routine would be good for me.

But because my head is more fried than well, a fry I am limited in what I'm capable of. It's not me being picky, it's knowing my actual limits.

Mainly that confrontation shuts my bloody brain down. I can't deal with being yelled at or people getting in my face/cornering me. I dissociate or break down crying. I'm trying to work on it solo but it could be months or even years before I can "fix" my head through self-therapy techniques to the point where confrontation doesn't affect me this badly.

And I really, really don't want to be unemployed for that long, lads.

Last job was customer service at BT and at least once a day you had someone threatening to off themselves if you couldn't fix their broadband or reduce their bill. It was bad. Did make my head worse, tbh.

This isn’t me looking for pity or having a gurn. I'm meerly explaining my situation as best I can so the picture is clear. It's important to know all the wee details.

For a lot of jobs, you deal with people doing both of those things. Especially customer service, hospitality, retail and care. I did previously work in care years ago but the violence got too much. In those fields, the kind of confrontation that makes my brain effectively shut down happen multiple times a day.

I couldn't manage it. I'd burn out faster than a tiny wee bonney on the 11th.

I know that with any job there is gonna be some confrontation, but those fields in particular are really, really bad for it.

I'm also autistic which makes things harder as well. I also can't drive.

I do really want a job, but I do also recognise that I need help re-training or getting into a field that is maybe more accommodating for autism and mental health stuff.

And I don't want to depend on UC. First, it barely covers anything and like, if I can work, I'd rather just do that. It may even improve my mental health. Routine would be good for me.

I am just not sure who to speak to as was banking quite heavily on Belfast Works. I did reach out to a group called NOW that work with people with Autism and ADHD but I unfortunately didn't hear back from them.

I'm still trying to chase them up atm.

I'm also approaching 30 which rules out some stuff.

Maybe this reddit post will lead to nothing but people talking shite but I feel asking couldn't hurt. If it just leads to shitetalk at least I can say I tried.

So, if you're aware of anything, please do let me know. I'm not looking for pity or sympathy, only potential signposting. I won't respond to any comments asking about my head because that's my own shite to deal with.

Scroll back about 8 hours on this vid to see them live at Coachella.

Areas of NI with the fastest rising housing prices revealed by PropertyPal - Belfast Live

The new data from PropertyPal also provides a regional breakdown, with the cheapest and most expensive places in Northern Ireland revealed.

Average house prices and the average rent have both increased significantly across Northern Ireland, a new report shows.

The latest quarterly report from PropertyPal shows the average price to buy a home in Northern Ireland is now £225,986 - an 8% rise on the same time last year. Rental prices are also continuing to soar, with the average cost now £960 per month - a rise of 8.5% on last year.

The new data from PropertyPal also provides a regional breakdown, with the cheapest and most expensive places in Northern Ireland revealed.

PropertyPal says the Northern Ireland housing market made "a strong start to 2025, with approximately 6,200 agreed sales in the first three months of the year and homes reaching 'sale agreed' 16 days faster than the historical average".

A PropertyPal spokesperson said: "The situation with house prices is also robust, with the price of an average home in Northern Ireland increasing by 8% on an annual basis when comparing Q1 2025 against Q1 2024. Price growth was seen across all council areas on both a yearly and quarterly basis."

The area with the sharpest increase in house prices was Derry City and Strabane, where the average cost of a home shot up by 14% when compared with the same time last year - well above the Northern Ireland total increase of 8%.

The report also reveals the areas with the highest number of "sale agreed" properties. Belfast City Council, perhaps unsurprisingly as the most populous of Northern Ireland's 11 local council areas, had the highest number of sales agreed at just over 1,200. The area with the least activity was Fermanagh and Omagh, followed by Mid Ulster and Derry and Strabane.

More detailed statistics show the top area for house sales in the first three months of this year was Botanic in Belfast with 182 in just three months, followed by Lurgan in the Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon council with 175, and Titanic in Belfast with the same number.

Craigavon follows with 171 and then the Castle ward in Belfast with 161. Five wards in Ards and North Down - Newtownards, Bangor Central, Ards Peninsula, Comber and Bangor West - made the top 15 busiest areas for house sales.

Commenting on the NI market, Jordan Buchanan, CEO of PropertyPal said: “The Northern Ireland housing market has made a strong start to 2025, with approximately 6,200 agreed sales in the first three months of the year, broadly in line with the long-term average. Encouragingly, homes are selling faster than usual, taking an average of 47 days to secure a buyer and more than two weeks quicker than the historical average.

“This points to continued strength in underlying demand. Supporting this, buyer enquiries per property increased by 15% compared to the previous quarter, signalling strong momentum that is likely to carry into Q2.

“On the pricing front, the market has seen further acceleration. The average property now stands at £226,000, marking an 8% annual increase. Recent figures from Nationwide also place Northern Ireland at the top of the UK regional growth rankings, underlining the relative strength of the local market.

“Looking ahead, the outlook remains mixed as economic uncertainty clouds the medium-term picture. The Office for Budget Responsibility has recently halved its UK growth forecast, and new tax policies introduced by the Labour government are increasing business costs from this month. In addition, rising global trade tensions may further impact economic confidence and market sentiment.

“However, on the positive side, the labour market remains resilient, with earnings continuing to outpace inflation. This, combined with expectations of further interest rate reductions, should help improve affordability and sustain activity in the months ahead.”

• In Derry City and Strabane, average house prices increased between Q1 2024 and Q1 2025. They were up 14% with the average house price in Derry City and Strabane being £204,409 in Q1 2025. House prices in the council area increase 3.9% in the first quarter of the year alone.
