´óÏó´«Ã½

Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness weren't giving anything away when they left Downing Street tonight. They described their talks with Gordon Brown as very useful but said they wanted to report back to their Executive colleagues before going into any further detail.

As already reported there are a lot of "tick and turn" papers to be approved at tomorrow's meeting. The title of one is "Retrospective approval of the Northern Ireland Executive element of the written response to the list of issues for the UN Committee on the rights of the child by the Executive."

Now we're clear on that, I would like to make a modest proposal. The joint agreement published at Stormont yesterday is littered with the word "modalities". Can we ban it? If so what do we put in its place?
