Dear Santa It’s been a long year and I am sorry for this belated letter. With recessions, dead cat bounces, floods and excessive MPs- I have been busy. I would like to ask for some presents for a few of my friends – presents- I guess they would not ask for themselves Moats and bell-towers [...]
The Arabs have a proverb which says the ‘hasty baker will end up with raw bread’. Bread features heavily in the Arabic lifestyle – hastiness does not.

When I was a kid, more than a few years ago, the 8th December was traditionally a big retail day. We were off school for the day and our parents would take the opportunity to head into town to buy the annual ‘Christmas clothes’. My memories of that period nostalgically recall snow (or at least [...]
Politicians can make me cringe when they are obviously trying to avoid an interviewer’s question. Sometimes you can’t fault them as political interviews have descended into light entertainment whereby the interviewer feels obliged to arouse their audiences by becoming the interviewee’s sparring partner. Thus we are now regularly treated to the highly subjective interviewing styles [...]
THE WEEK THAT WAS…. “So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night.

MLAs – though some may [...]
‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free’, so says the inscription on the Statue of Liberty.

Regular Stormont watchers will be relieved to see the Diseases of Animals Bill reach its final stage today before being signed into law.
