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 know. And it always clashed with the premiership games they suddenly decided to show on Saturday evenings, *sigh*

I can heartily recommend you join uknova - it's a bittorrent site and they always have doc episodes on. Actually most bittorrent sites do.

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

UK Nova are totally fantastic, except that I have to leave my computer on uploading nuns for the whole week I'm gone at Tentmeet ... (where is my taxi dammit?)
