My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

My mum is a QUB studentand 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 thereMost 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
