• Only going back 4 a few days at a time, then leaving again The many lesser known drinking establishments around bangor coastline, Strickies, the boathouse, pebble beach, the bandstand.

• The pitch and putt course round the Seacliff Road at Kingslands. I had a few interesting experiences there as a young man on my way home from the pubs with assorted young ladies ('lady' used loosely).

• Bars
• the palladium is a must for anyone any age!!!!! handly situated beside the court!!!so no bugin the fruit machines!!!
• Glenlola birds coming out of school, or just coming for that matter.
• Superbock, the greatest alcoholic drink to arrive in Bangor. This beer is so good that the kind people who serve under aged drinkers sell it for only 75p a bottle and at 5.8% it is sure to get the greatest drinkers absolutley pissed. QUALITY !!!!!!!!

• The majority of the people, pubs, the views around the coastline... Particularly pleasant after smoking "herbal" tobacco.
