Title: So, how is Belfast ? Post by: Der Helm on September 15, 2010, 03:03:21 PM My girlfriend is studying over there for about half a year, I might be inclined to visit her, is anybody on this board familiar with the area ?

Title: Re: So, how is Belfast ? Post by: Engels on September 15, 2010, 07:38:58 PM ok, you're visiting your girlfriend in a long distance relationship. How much Belfast are you really going to see?
Title: Re: So, how is Belfast ? Post by: Teleku on September 15, 2010, 10:05:31 PM Err, from what I've seen, when ever a long distance boyfriend came to visit the girl living abroad, they went out and traveled extensively (and got shit faced every single night in random bars) while he was visiting. Why would it be otherwise?
Title: Re: So, how is Belfast ? Post by: Arthur_Parker on September 15, 2010, 11:58:14 PM Is she based in Belfast or somewhere outside? I'm obviously biased but it's a great city to visit, I worked there for a year but used to visit all the time when growing up.

I was going to make one implying that Arthur was a part of the IRA as a visiting-Belfast youth, actually laughed out loud a couple times while concocting it.... yeah. Finally realized that it is probably not so funny if you actually are from-Ireland Irish, rather than descended-from-the-Irish American who's never lived with significant civil strife.
Fucking internet ruins EVERYTHING! Title: Re: So, how is Belfast ? Post by: Der Helm on September 17, 2010, 01:51:52 AM ok, you're visiting your girlfriend in a long distance relationship. How much Belfast are you really going to see? She lives in student accomodations, tiny rooms, thin walls... :awesome_for_real:Title: Re: So, how is Belfast ?
