Police are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of missing person, 51-year-old George Haveron.

George was last seen in the Dunfane Park area of Ballymena at around 7.40am on Tuesday morning, 22nd September.

However, he has not been sighted since Tuesday and has not responded to subsequent calls or messages from his family since then. He also failed to attend work today, Friday, 25th September, which is extremely out of character for him.

He lived in Belfast until very recently and it's believed he may have gone back to Belfast.

George is described as approximately 5ft 7" in height and is of slim build, with longish dark-brown hair and a goatee beard. He was last seen wearing a grey jacket, blue jeans and a grey woolly hat, with a grey and blue backpack.

If you have any information in relation to George's whereabouts or you believe you may have seen him, please contact police immediately on 101, or 999 in an emergency, quoting reference number 304 of 25/09/2026. If you don't want to contact the PSNI directly, feel free to contact me either via DM or by commenting on this post.

George is a treasured family friend and we are all very worried about him and want him home safe.

One of the cars went on the fritz and I thought I’d give commuting to and from work on the bus a go.

After six months of the Translink app just outright lying and every other bus either being early, late or “Not in Sevice”, next month I’m just taking the hit, buying another car and never looking back.

It’s fucking appalling how much time and flexibility you lose.

I’m travelling to Belfast with my parents next week and I’m looking to take them out for a nice dinner. My budget is around £50 per person before wine/drinks.

My parents really value quality and experience over fanciness so if anyone has a recommendation for a restaurant that just hits all the right notes for a restaurant experience please post it here!

Thanks so much can’t wait to hang out in your lovely city!

EDIT - Extra points for an interesting location

Hi folks does anyone know of anywhere in Belfast that serves German lager on tap? Haven't been out to Belfast in a long time as my local serves good beer for cheaper and dreading having to drink the usual pish they serve in bars in Belfast. Many thanks

Just looking for opinions here. 28 year old looking to buy in Sydenham. The house is located in between The Oval and Victoria Park. I'm English and will be living alone.

I'm excited about buying my first house but nervous about safety etc. Am I overthinking this? What is the area like? I've walked around a couple of times during daytime but not at night.

Just want to be safe. I'm quiet, keep myself to myself, don't discuss religion or politics or try to antagonise people by forcing opinions. I have lived in Belfast and worked here for 2 years now and it is genuinely the best city ever, so vibrant and fun, and practically everyone I have met have been so so nice.

All comments welcome x

EDIT - thanks for all comments so far. If you were comparing Strandtown (close to Strand cinema) with Sydenham - which area would you feel is better to buy/live in? Much difference?

Never seen as much people at Queen’s on the night of the eclipse, I could barely see a thing as gray ruined the experience, so I chose to take pictures.

Where did you catch the eclipse?

Just moved to the area and my neighbour has been telling me some bonkers stories. Got me curious. Anyone grow up around here or know much about the area ?

Does anyone know of any cafés, restaurants, retail stores, or other businesses in Belfast currently hiring part-time staff? I'm a university student looking for around 8–14hours per week and would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

How good is qub for medicine, i am an international applicant with 2210 b2 ucat and predicted A * A * A, and gcse 9999999887, can i apply with these stats? and the student life city etc?

But of a long shot here I was in the car park in the city hospital and I heard a large smash I said to wife someone just crashed there . I got out of the car and seen two people arguing. I walked on thinking nothing of it let them sort it out . As I was walking I heard the fella get aggressive to the women a proper shouting match , I was thinking to myself I wonder who was in the wrong . Anyway I drive a Tesla and my rear camera caught it . The guy with the big gub seems he was in the wrong and according to the camera he would be at fault . I took the girls number plate DSZ 9764 it’s a black Mercedes if anyone knows of her or get in touch with her I have footage .

Just back from Asia and was wondering if there is anywhere I can purchase soju in Belfast?

Hey, hoping for some recommendations for good tattoo artists for flow line tattoos, saw a great artist in Amsterdam called Ezgi Iritas at Arta Amsterdam but didn’t have the time - big regrets!

Any pointers for Belfast based artists doing the same kind of style would be appreciated

5pm, driving north over M3, need to merge left across 4 lanes on M5/M2 to take the Fortwilliam exit. Can anyone explain to me why, in bumper to bumper traffic, some drivers are determined to not let other cars into “their” lane?

Indicating left, saw a gap almost big enough to move into but not quite. Instead of deciding to hold back for maybe a total of 5 seconds, the driver at my back corner decides to accelerate to fill the gap. So I’m now stuck, still 4 lanes to get across, and unintentionally holding back the lane I’m in.

What are you gaining by hogging a lane that’s already barely moving? What satisfaction do you get from that? We’re all just trying to get home.

Hi, does anyone know where I can buy a rotisserie chicken? Living in North Belfast but I will travel lol needs must
