The Big List

I only came across this fine publication while I was in the Hatfield waiting for my girlfriend to come back from the bar. It was so good I ended up bringing it home and reading it whilst having my breakfast. It is essentially a list of stuff, listening club nights, gigs, entertainment, stuff to do, stuff to see, stuff to keep the children happy etc
It is helpful to an extent because it is a bit more environmentally friendly than all of those flyers that people dress up as smurfs and insist on throwing in your face to the point that you have to take them because your «sorry I’m busy» has wasted away.
Though this magazine isn’t going to break the mould in publications, it is still a very useful little book to have in the house. And more than that, for new first year students and tourists who are not fully aware of the sights and sounds of Belfast, they should get a copy of this as it is very handy.
If you are looking for this, you are probably going to get it scattered around pubs or cafes, but if you see it, pick it up and bring it home. It makes great breakfast time reading.
