Belfast Rapid Transport has named a stop on the Albertbridge Road as ‘Short Strand’. A local DUP MP, Emma Little Pengally  said the name “does not reflect either the area or the history of the area in which the stop is situated” and was “clearly not a Short Strand stop”.

Colm Dore writes:

Amid other matters, like the north east of Ireland being taken out of the EU against the will of the people there, why would the DUP Westminster MP for South Belfast take this interest in the naming of a bus stop in east Belfast?

The name refers to one of the city’s oldest communities. Coincidentally, it is a nationalist community….

Electrician parking in a bus stop outside Chopped in Fairview [in Dublin 3] today at midday. Driver turned on the hazards and joined the salad queue. Buses had to stop in the traffic lane for passengers. Wheelchair users would have had a blast.

Anyone?

I don’t know if I find this sad or stupid. At least once a month, someone has a beer fest at the bus stop at Glasnevin cemetery on the Finglas Road. Party Boy then recaps the bottles and puts them back in the packaging usually neater than today. He then gently places everything beside the bin also at the bus stop.

Mmf.
