We have the same poster for my nearest town, and the nearest city lol. Let's just say my area doesn't have the best reputation.....In fact the city is nationally renowned for being a bit of a tip, to the point that a lot of famous people from round here often say they're from the next city over...

That's interesting, because in the US, I know with Brooklyn which is a bit of a rougher area, a lot of famous people are proud to be from there.

The funny thing is, its fairly foggy outside at the moment. I can barely see down the road.
Normally compared with the place (I suspect) the person who created this is from, Ballinameen is pretty serenic, the only problem is that the picture itself pretty much sums up what there is to do.........................nothing.

If the picture is anything to go by, it would also suggest you had lions. If so, could I borrow them? :P

Rach, I think it's a different type of rough in some ways, and the kind of celebrity. There are, no doubt, many people who think of Brooklyn and it's rough reputation as being a part of their identity, and being beneficial perhaps to their image.

Brooklyn is probably seen as somewhere where you'll get a bit of trouble walking down the street, and as somewhere with a higher burglary rate but nothing major.

My nearby city - Bradford - has that, but also has some more major incidents that affect people's impression of it, and make it a little too rough in most people's minds, even though it's not that bad any more. Not in the city centre anyway....

The incidents were a couple of race related riots in the city. A minor one in 1995, and a more widespread one back in 2001. As I said they were race based. There are large minority populations, mainly from the middle east, right across Yorkshire but especially concentrated in and around Bradford. That, combined with a large working class white population (much of which is anti immigration) leads to a lot of tensions and the occasional spot of trouble. They're always blaming each other for all the problems and the kind of issues it causes are distasteful to a lot of people, especially celebrities. People down south see people from Yorkshire as being farmers and rather common, so celebrities trying to drop that image will generally start by dropping Bradford.

It would also suggest that the sun shines in Ireland, but we all know that never happens. ^_^
No lions, but we have many of their relatives the cats. Maybe take a few of them?

If they're anything like my cat I'll take as many as you can spare. :P
Mine nearly removed my left eye the other day, so it's quite capable of evil.
