Friday the Sixteenth: In Ballycastle, North Antrim

Have been away from LoL HQ for a couple of days now. In Ballycastle where tomorrow we celebrate parents' and aunt and uncle's Golden Wedding Anniverseries. I may even get to sing a song or two.

There are masses of things to blog about here. There is an election raging for starters. Today's highlight being "the boys" sticking up a big poster of Gerry Adams on the telegraph pole outside parental HQ.

This carries the message "Others promise, Sinn Fein delivers". Mark Durkin leader of the SDLP was on telly last night claiming that Sinn Fein are mainly delivering on Peter Hain's and the DUP's promises just now.

There has been a Party Election Broadcast today for the "Make Politicians History Party" which last time polled more than 4,000 votes in Belfast - about 2%. They trade under a Rainbow and they seem about as clued in as Zippy the Bear. It's all to play for.
