Stag Weekends in Riga

GoBananas launches packages for Riga for 2012 for stag weekends.  Riga is a great destination and one of the few in Europe where your wallet can go much further ( I don't mean in the back pocket of a pick pocket er either).  Not being part of the Euro means they still have sensible pricing, making it very affordable.
Gobananas is starting off with the most popular Riga stag weekend packages which includes transfers to and from the airport.
Make sure to book up early to take advantage of booking your budget airline nice and cheap.  Riga has all the favourites including stag, paintball, gokarting and of course for the stag nights lap dancing and night club entry.

Perth Planning How long....

So I get very frustrated with bureaucracy at the best of times, I hear on the news how the government wants to help business, yet the actions of the planning department in Perth seem not to follow this line.  For some bazaar reason we had to get planning permission to put a BT line into the new office we want to move into (broadband).  So after paying for an architect to do drawings etc for a small cable, we are still waiting for planning to approve it.

Come on how long does it take to approve a cable, it's tough enough out there doing business and surviving never mind having to wait for some one to tick a box in some council building!  I will laugh if it takes the "6 weeks" they say it will, I will ask for a full report from the top of the department about why my cable to 6 weeks.  I wonder what they have been doing for it to take 6 weeks cos I don't see much in the way of buildings going up at the moment!

When I did speak with them the guy did not seem that bothered by how urgent it is for my business to get this through quickly.  Maybe I should give his details out to my employees so he can explain why getting this approved is so difficult and could compromise their jobs.  Now that would be an interesting conversation to watch!
