Dear Listeners: If you find yourself in Belfast tonight than you have ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE not to go to the 6th Annual World Pong Championships at the John Hewitt tonight at 8pm. I went last year and had a ball:
They take their Pong seriously here in Belfast; historically it was one of the few activities that Protestant, Catholic and Muslim could do together in Northern Ireland and many people will tell you it helped them through the tough times.
Why not commemorate the event by cheering on the participants - the John Hewitt is a fine pub and worth going to even if no Video Game related activities are occurring. I was there last night myself as it was the famous Belfast Film Festival Quiz. Our team came in second Dear Listeners, and I have a decorative 'Jameson Key Ring' to prove it.
