Giro d'italia - Comes to Belfast

[The Jogger]

Italian take-over of Norn Iron ?

My great grand father was part of the first mini Italian invasion of NI, early part of the last century, with their ice cream shops.........

 

[The Jogger]

No

I think it is...............

 

[The Jogger]

Confusing yourself I think

I think you thought it was the flag of Ireland.

 

[The Jogger]

See the red bit at the end, the Ireland flag doesn't have that

Exactly, never mind............you're a real geg

 

[The Jogger]

Nice try though.

Eh?

I volunteered at the World Police and Fire Games in Belfast last year and the city got right behind that. Was given the chance to volunteer at the Giro as well but turned it down as I want to watch as much of it as possible and might have been stuck in the back doing logistics.
The Lord Mayor of Belfast is a keen cyclist and has been banging on about the Giro for weeks now. Theres a good Italian restaurant in the city centre called Coppi which anyone coming over for the race should visit. They also have a sister restaurant right on the Giro route called il Pirata.
I for one cant wait for it!

Looks like some Italian cycling fans (or fans of Italian cycling) own some resturaunts...

[QUOTE 2929307, member: 259"]Is that the one on Upper Newtownards Road? It's pretty good.[/quote]

The very one Mort. They have also recently opened il pastaficio nearby selling their fresh pasta and coffee.
