Dungiven has scenery on its side, so it's not the worst.

Strabane is the "winner" of the golden turd.

However, Newcastle, Ballycastle and Cushendall are all nice enough spots.


East Tyrone in general is oretty grim. I stopped there once in Coalisland to buy petrol, eat a sandwich a smoke a feg. I am pretty sure the IRA were watching me. A car was definitely spying on me and it tailed me the whole way to Ardboe.

About 16 yrs ago I was in Guildford in my Republic of Eire reg car.  I had a few hours to waste.  I parked the car directly in front of the library (which is basically almost smack bang in the middle of the town main street or maybe just off it) at around 1pm on a Saturday.  I went away for an hour or so just having a look around basically.  When I came back there was a cop car with 2 coppers in it very close to my car.  I pulled out and drove back towards the motorway and they followed me for at least 2-3 km before leaving me alone.

Portadown and or Lurgan, 99% of these two towns are absolute dumps, use to work between them both. Now based in Lurgan and Newry. Portadown around the 12th of July brings out all sort of mutants to.

Strangely, it didn't actually always used to be like that. During the 70s, was actually quite peaceful around the 12th.

Strabane Bus Station has a notice board for 'Strabane people doing well...' and it's completely blank. Nobody in Strabane is doing well.
