    Only in NI would planning permission on a shopping development be refused on the basis of killing a town centre, whilst parking charges were stared in said town (city) centre. John Lewis/Lisburn.
    I'm sure there's one about parades, and flags. And Iris Robinson. And Daniel O'Donnell.

    Only in Northern Ireland do they think water is Free!!
    Only in Northern Ireland do they think money grows on trees!!

    Only in Northern Ireland do they have 20 Odd Councils, 200 Odd MLA's, 4 or 5 health trusts, 4 or 5 education boards etc etc etc to govern/fulfil the needs of a population the size of an average GB City where they probably have about 20 Councillors never mind 20 Councils. NICE!! How do I get on this gravey Train??????

    Only in Northern Ireland could we remember our ship building history
    by naming an area after the one that sunk.
    (Titanic Area ).
    Always struck me as incredibly odd!
    I'm not bad at golf, I just get better value for money when I take more shots!
