Me and my bruva davinsky were once again out on the pull, but this time our destination was stormont castle in belfast. After we had spotted a few local women entering the building we thought that we could quickly grab a few numbers.

With only 8 people debating in the Chamber it seemed rather empty and a lot of hot air- not unlike Westminster. A lovely building in a great setting but could possibly be better served as a library or grand hotel.

It look like it from the outside but on the inside is no where near as gaudy the food is good if your are priviledged enough to eat it. See it on BBC Parliament or Stormont TV if you dont get inside.

Visiting this majestic building was the highlight of my visit to Belfast. The long drive up to it and seeing if for the first time took my breath away. It is set above the city with wonderful gardens beside it. A local mum told us that the Mo Mowlam playground was the best in Belfast. Free tours inside the building... More

Had some time to spare and stopped off on the hop on hop off bus tour. So glad we did. Only need about an hour but it was great to see parliament.
