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.

By "the house", I mean "the bits of the house that aren't the extension", which happens to contain a loo and a shower, and also a big massive freezer :)

A shower? But what about getting back to nature!

It's fully optional, of course.

Just make sure your tent is at the far end of the site to mine.

Ah good good. My days of Outdoor Toileting are thankfully far behind me and I'd like them to remain that way ;p
