Technically, just now, NI has no real government. We have a pretend assembly who sit around Not Talking to each other and fighting. So for day to day stuff, it's the councils running stuff really.

We're about to get a BIG rates hike - probably about 30%, possibly more. And we're going to get water charges, based on house value *not* what you might actually use. So, I wonder, what is my council doing to earn all of this new extra monies?

Arguing over how many days a year they can fly the Union flag
Money well spent, I think you'll agree. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go *headdesk* for a bit.


Right, now on to matters of actual importance. tiquetoque DO YOU HAVE BBC? Tents and campfires and songs and people are All Very Well, but DR WHO is on. I hope you have made arrangements for this.

I try not to look around me for that very reason *sigh*

I'll take you up on that island offer if that's ok

[jin-shei.livejournal.com]

Sure, ticket for two?

[being-here.livejournal.com]

I really will have to work out this whole technology lark someday and actually make use of my broadband ;p

if it helps i'm one of four!

and the clan hellison seem to be strong with the babies, so i wouldn't despair yet*.

*assuming, of course, the thought of hellison-genes out there in the world isn't enough to make you retreat beneath the stairs and rock back and forth while muttering to yourself**.

**though really, that can be fun.

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

is there a shed on this island?

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

Thesme snuggles up to _unhurt_ under the stairs

Mm yes this IS fun isn't it

*fondle fondle fondle*

And this should answer the question of why Thesmes don't have babies.

*whisper not any more (roads) they're crapper now ahahaha*

[lazy-hoor.livejournal.com]

Have you been through Cyaaaavan?!

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

Ar well, yes, there's always Cjavan

Louth is vastly improved recently. And Monaghan. And Donegal.

Those are the routes I use.

*mourns _unhurt_*

[lazy-hoor.livejournal.com]

Once we bounced so much going over potholes that I nearly banged my head off the roof of the bus.

County Cavan - the only route I'm really familiar with. *cry*

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

WHy? She's not dead!!!

[hellison.livejournal.com]

I always love the point in the road from Belfast to Sligo where you briefly go thro cyaaaavan and you can tell INSTANTLY as soon as you enter and leave it because of the roads :p

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Can I come too?

I only need one ticket tho *emos*

[lazy-hoor.livejournal.com]

I wonder if there's anywhere in the world that has worse roads than Cavan? I doubt it...

[jin-shei.livejournal.com]

But there are six of the idiot children in one house and there are couples like us with only one child!

[jin-shei.livejournal.com]

You can bring your own shed if you want one?

[jin-shei.livejournal.com]

But she wishes ...

*duck*

*run*

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

Being_here made a special Thesme shed. I bring it everywhere now.

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

*glares*
*follows*

[jin-shei.livejournal.com]

Cor, a Thesme inna shed.

[jin-shei.livejournal.com]

Bring it on, baby! I have a pole and I'm not afraid to use it!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_unhurt_/]

huh. but then, i have known people with vile parents who are themselves nice (if somewhat fucked up over the foul parent issue). the children may, with luck, turn out ok.

[jin-shei.livejournal.com]

There is faint hope of that in this case : /

Woe. Bring in parental licencing. This is more important than driving a car, damn it!
