A cocktail of drink, military parades, water and trams

The annual 'row' as to whether pubs should be open today, Good Friday, is something of a pathetic game.

It's akin to the rumpus that is being waged as to whether we should pay for the water we use.

Today, Good Friday, from Aachen in the west to Dresden in the east and from Flensburg in the north to Rosenheim in the south, doors are closed in Germany, where it is a public holiday.

And then on Easter Sunday we are to have the biggest military parade ever in Dublin, where trams will not roll, due to industrial action.

North Korea showcased its biggest ever military parade some months ago.

According to Central Statistics Office figures 35,300  Irish people emigrated in the 12 months prior to April 2015. And that was a decrease from the previous year. 

A funny little country.
