A New Zealand woman's cat went to a lot of trouble to bring home an actually useful present, rather than another dead rodent. But when Fluffy (not his actual name) turned up with a five-gram bag of marijuana, she went and narced on her own cat. So much for gratitude! » 5/20/14 11:20am 5/20/14 11:20am

It's not just Ren Faire enthusiasts and Irish-American grandparents who want to vacation on the Emerald Isle anymore, and for that, you can thank Game of Thrones, which films partly outside Belfast.
