I have not laughed so much in such a long time... http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/northern-ireland-nightlife-in-pictures-13906774.html?ino=1 This page is in the Belfast Telegraph "Entertainment" section, and oh my word, it could not be more entertaining. In true Hicksville fashion, the "Tele" invites readers to send in their pictures of their big nite out, and indeed must send out their photographers to some of the Provinces big social events. I am sure the editors of the Belfast Telegraph are only too aware of the hilarious nature of this part of therir paper. It features some of the beautiful people of NI out drinking. It seems that the obligatory shot is 2 young (ish) girls so close to each other they seem like Siamese twins joined at the head, or if its a full length shot, joined at the hip. Or maybe everyone is just so drunk they need to hld each other up? The jury is out. Or are we so insecure in NI and worried about our reputation that we feel we have to prove to the wider world that we are really actually quite friendly with full body contact photos? "Look folks, come to Belfast! You don't need to worry any more about which bar to go into because we're all so pally! What you do need to look out for though is having your head fused to that of a perma-tanned, heavily made up, flat-ironed-blond-haired slightly podgy 25 yr old, who just should have kept those orthodontist appointments". The next time you're feeling down in the dumps. Head to the Tele for some really uplifting photos. In fairness, they do look as though they're having fun, so, fair play (as they'd say in Belfast).
