Just got the new Bill for 2013 yesterday evening. I noticed it had gone up by few pound was it not supposed to be frozen??

Anyone know the workings or any ways to avoid paying?? is a prayer room in the house an option?? Is country areas hit worse than the towns??

Any help/advice be appreciated!!

Just hoping to pick someone brains....

Basically I have redone the house on the farm and the existing water supply if from a gravity fed spring well in silage ground approx 500m from the house.
I want to continue to use the well as the supply for the house as it is natural, out of the ground etc..

The actual well would have received very little maintenance over the years and i was wondering is there any methods of improving/cleaning the supply?? The well liners are pretty old, and I was wondering would you need to upgrade liners & cap if you were thinking of using it as your main water supply??

Any help be appreciated.

Its seems it's that time of year again when every available lamppost must adorn some sort of "triumphalist" flag.  There are certainly a wide range of flags to celebrate this festival of "orangeness "  i.e.union jacks, 6county flags, england, scotland, orange, norn iron, rangers, odd loyalist paramilitary flag, (what did Wales do to be left out??) I can see this how this can be very intimating to some people having to drive through these gauntlet of flags. Honestly there would not have been as many in London for that Royal wedding.

But the most unusual I noticed as driving through a rural backwater in the tyrone/fermanagh region last night was the the flag of israel being hoisted proudly aloft on street lighting pole. I began to wonder to myself what the hell has this got to do with the so called culture? Are these people supporting the siege of Gaza and the suffering of the Palestinians??

Can anyone tell me do these towns, villages (parts of towns) just get hijacked by a few loyalists who believe they are defending the union by erecting these barrage of flags or are they welcomed mostly by the wider unionist community?? (It's bound to have a knock on tourism as well as being an eyesore)
