From the texts page in the Andersonstown News:
“So Paul Maskey wants to run West Belfast into a cafe culture zone like Paris? I ain’t laughed at so much inane drivel for a long time. Could you imagine all the upmarket business people and groovy hipsters coming up the Falls Road to join the pub lads, smicks and pyjama millies over a toasted wrap and expresso? I don’t know what planet you’re on, Paul, but I wish I was there with you.
Gringo.”

Sounds like Middlesbrough town centre, that. What’s a smick though?

Shows a poverty of aspiration in that text.

Wasn’t there a Mexican restaurant next to the big RUC barracks on the Falls?

“Gringo” – classic.
And it’s so true, would the cappucino belt in West Cork have sprung up if there was a queue of people waiting to mug you as soon as you went outside? Gringo.
