A few years ago I was at a x-mas party with some old friends from uni....
It was an awkward night to begin with since I hadn't seen these people in a long time but my girlfriend had kept in touch with them so it wasn't too bad.

Anyway, this was in Belfast at X-mas 2006 and if you know of anyone who has studied at Queens University they can become quite..how to put it....'up their own arse'. They seem to think Belfast is this great city of culture and they are at the hub of all civilization...but yet I digress once again.

This party was going along quite nicely, I was popping out for the occaisional smoke and then chatting to different peeps all night. At once stage I was talking to the hostess in her living room and noticed that a lot of the guests had gone into the kitchen and suddenly become quite loud. I asked her what was going on and her reply was this:

"Oh, thats Joe's fault he has some coke with him and they are all snorting it but they are cutting it with a cash card so i'm not having any"

I looked at her puzzled, and she said

"Well unless it's cut with a minimum of a credit card, i prefer a gold one of course, it's not going up my nose!"

I grabbed my coat, politely made my excuses and left. fucking twats

I love the idea of QUB students being pretentious. The only people they can lord it over is students from the Poly. If they step foot outside Norn Iron then they'll find out what kind of inbred hurly-playing farm hicks they really are.

Jesus.....
...I thought I was posh by only snorting through a £50!

My mum is a QUB student
and she's as common as muck. She'd cut her coke with an electricity payment card, were she into that sort of thing.

I'm also a Belfast resident and have never heard anyone (outside of arsy press releases) refer to it as a city of culture. City of cunts, sure. I guess I'm not hanging around with wanky students enough.

You get a *click*

I have to agree with you to a certian point there
Most people born in Belfast don't see the city that way, but I do know a few...one guy in particular tried to argue with me that Belfast was bigger than Manchester.

Most people who see Belfast in the way I described are actually people who have come from shitty little towns and villages and now refer to their home town as Belfast, that irritates me beyond all belief.

Problem with Belfast is that it's full of people from Belfast :P
