    Absolutely raging that Asda isn't opening - would have been walking distance for a carry-out for me!

    Only in Northern Ireland would they replace a method of academic selection..... with two different methods of academic selection and make the marking and grading so complicated that nobody knows where they stand even after results are announced!
    Life's a box of beads - rainbow coloured and full of surprises!:D

    Only in Northern Ireland could we remember our ship building history
    by naming an area after the one that sunk.
    (Titanic Area ).
