Qe2 Sails Into Belfast...god Bless Her !!

[stormydog]

Well today was a momentous occasion for Belfast as the goodship QE2 gaced our lough shores this afternoon. As part of a cruise she stopped off fully laden with over 3000 americans to shop "till ya god damn drap.." in our city......fukkk how many pairs of "checked trousers and dog-toothed ladies pantaloons" were there on show then walking down Royal Avenue ? (w00t) (w00t)

here she is coasting thru the mist and rain just off the North Down coast. On its way to Stranraer is the HSS just approaching the QE2, what a view the passengers wouldve got...overhead is flight JY675 no doubt full of bloody foreigners in shell suits and Clarkes shoes :lol:

Have to say if you know the HSS you can appreciate what size the QE2 must be

For good measure the world famous Red Arrows put on a stunning display despite low cloud and rain !

no doubt Burger King & McDonalds will be filled with fat Yanks :blink:

Well done to get any decent shots in that weather, it is just a foul down here in Cornwall, blowing a gale too. Dogs hate it. :cheers:
