For Cod and Ulster

Special thanks for long-time friend of the show Keith Law:

Jon Joe Sat Nav

Jon Joe Sat Nav Wins the PANI!

for sending us a couple of snaps today.

The one above, (which Keith received in a chain email - photographer unknown), shows a new chippy opening here in Belfast.  The name of the shop, For Cod and Ulster, is a play on 'For God and Ulster', a well known phrase uttered many a time here in Norn Iron.  If you're not from around here it many not seem that funny - but trust me - it is.

Here's another snap of the chippy this time from NickyBe's Flickr Stream:

For Cod and Ulster - Chippy

The shop also seems to be making an impact on the locals:

The Scariest Chip Shop in the World

Obviously LTA has to go there and record a segment - perhaps for the upcoming Chapter 64; (oh, and before David Baxter starts in, I am making no political statement of any kind by posting this pic).

Keith also sends in another photo, this one taken by himself, (see below).  I have no idea what the deal is with it.  Any answers 'our' welcome.

"our wee country" beat sweden 2-1 in the euro 2008 group qualifiers last week. with two pheno, strikes by David Healy. That puts NI at the top of their group (top two places advance to the finals) just about half way through the qualifying. Scotland and the ROI are tied for the top of their group as well.

England... anyone? anyone?

Our, are, arrr...

I was at a wedding the night of the England match and missed all the excitement. Then last Wednesday I was at another wedding and missed all that excitement too. But it was my own wedding this time so I suppose I shouldn't complain...

that's right Brabazon. It should of course read "are" now top of the league not "our". Congratulations, You win £5. Ask Jett

No political message taken from it. Its good to see a chippy with an original name and a sense of humour instead of something with Plaice in the title.

I wonder do they do steakettes (deep fried, batter hamburgers)? 3rd only in the heart attack league to the deep fried mars bar and Scotland's favourite the deep fried pizza.

I've heard of the fried Mars Bars but deep fried pizza!?!?!

!!!!!

BTW... gotta big laugh out of the name, I hope they do well and open up a whole chain of 'em!!
