In the past three months, Northern Ireland has been ticking over quite nicely.

Yes, there was a bit of flooding, but that dried up eventually and the clean up was organised fairly well.

There was a considerable rise in the costs of fuel and food, but that’s a global thing.

There was some good news and some bad news.

And there was no official, high level, formal government meetings. Which begs the question: why do we need so many expensive duplicitous feckers in Stormont screwing us over? We’ve survived the wrath of the weather and the woes of the Dreaded Credit Crunch(TM) without their help, so why would we possibly want them to come back now and screw things up?

Here’s hoping that they keep arguing over stupid things and leave the rest of us to get on with our lives. It’d almost be worth their salaries…
