While waiting outside City Hall yesterday for a friend I observed the gentleman pictured below nervously pacing to and fro for fifteen minutes. A car drove over, words and money exchanged hands and the gentleman walked away happy. Always ready to take a few snaps, Dear Listener, I quickly photographed the purchase of what I assumed was drugs of some kind; perhaps Sweet Lady White. It wasn't until I looked at the pics in Photoshop that I saw what was going on.
I'm sure there was something on the local news this morning about a ground swell of public opinion urging the lawmakers to stamp out the illegal trade in Apple iPods on the streets of Belfast.

I can't quite tell, but it looks like a 4th generation 20GB IPod. I suppose it could be a 5th Generation 30GB Video, but I can't tell. You've got the full resolution images, what does it look like to you? Cool pics though...

What I like is the dude's smile - another satisfied customer!

Jett: Could he see you taking photos? I'd have had a fast car waiting nearby if I were you!
