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.

Ooh ta, I may take you up on that :) I've missed a couple this season, so I really should go find somewhere to download...

Um... I missed the 'girl in the fireplace' on that everyone raved about, the one when we were in london, last weeks and possibly this weeks - this is the finale right?

Oh and the first half of the big devil monster/black hole one, but i'm not so bothered about that ;p
