Help us Geldof!

Ok so the frost has left us with a few leaking pipes and our kind neighbours in Scotland have promised us some water rations. But FFS we are hardly at the doorstep of drought. The media are portraying this as the new irish famine. Bob geldof is preparing a list of celebrity has beens to chant a few lines in a desperate attempt to resurect their sunken careers, sorry i meant raise funds for the thirsty millions in Northern Ireland. A few areas in the Country have been without water for a few days and personally speaking i have had to do without for two hours this week. To be honest you couldn't get a wash in our kitchen sink for dinner dishes anyway so i haven't really been bothered with this latest affliction to out Country.
Lets show a bit of British stiff upper lip and deal with it. It has got to be better than Geldof bleating in our lug holes.

UK City of culture? Gafaw, Gafaw!!!

Londonderry/Derry prepares itself for the results of the UK City of Culture awards results (Breaking news - They won). For heavens sake, what are these people thinking about?

I know the riots in Ardoyne have nothing (Directly) to do with the folk in Derry/Londonderry, but we don't have to cast our minds back too far to remember the cultural tolerance shown to the Apprentice Boys of Derry when they parade through this wonderful vibrant city. Nor to those deemed to be homosexual. Those in this Country that are quick to wave Palestinian, Israeli, European and other so called worthy cultural flags are very quick to forget that we can't even get along with our own neighbours in this Province. Whilst ethnically the same, culturally different, we see fit to oppose our own, whilst we promote every other culture in this small piece of land.

Many commentators in Ulster refer to a small proportion of the population that are living in the past. I would suggest that the vast majority of us are living in the past. Just take a look at voting patterns here to see if we have moved on. I don't include myself here as i won't vote for what i can't believe in and that includes any of the local political parties. Mr Griffin come and save Derry, Londonderry, Ulster and Northern Ireland.
