Yes…I think so.

Yes…lovely.

Yes…it’s Queens University…the botanic gardens are next door to it….in Botanic Avenue. Belfast is now well and truly on the tourist map, on the itinerary of cruise ships and a new terminal was built to accommodate them just a year or two ago. The Giants Causeway and the north Antrim coast where they filmed much of Game of Thrones…along with Titanic Belfast are amongst the top tourist must sees in the U.K. now. The Titanic Centre was near the top of the most visited tourist attractions in the British Isles in 2018.

@Marionville I've been to the basalt rocks a few times. I have not seen a single episode of Game of Thrones. What era and which country is it set in? Wars of the Roses or all that jostling for power until Brian Boru? Harland and Wolfe I assume have some sort of museum to celebrate their idiotic captain and the wholesale murdering of lower classes and presumably the orchestra and boiler men. A certain Hayes was on board with the plans for the town of Prince Rupert, 350 km west of my home. He and the plans joined the fishes.

@rogerbenham I’ve never watched Game of Thrones either…but I do know it’s based on the stories set in the fictional country of Westeros by George R R. Martin, and is complete fantasy but with inspiration drawn from Viking and Celtic culture and from various periods in history.

@Marionville I saw trailers and in fact watched the first programme, now you reminded me of the horribly brutal nature of the series. One programme disgusted me. So upsetting that the series became so popular.
I watched about three years of Downton until I got totally bored with it. Strange how programmes get darker the longer they run.
Upstairs, Downstairs was a much more plausible series.

Yes.
