Raising a fee
One aspiring candidate for the Bougainville election was spotted in Buka last Thursday trying to raise funds to pay his K500 nomination fee. Well, one may have to start from scratch.
Another loss
Seriously, the Brisbane Broncos like any other NRL team must play their matches on various days, not only Thursday. Television is dictating that they should play only on Thursdays. It has been disastrous.
No booze
India: A monkey believed to be alcoholic left one man dead and 250 injured after going on rampage when his booze supply dried up.
Picking days
It seems, from how some new restrictions on business opening days have been framed, that the Covid-19 only strikes on Mondays and Tuesdays. The rest of the week, the virus is resting at home.
What an insult
Imagine going to your friend’s home and be greeted by this.
Food for thought
When your two ears are put side by side, they form a heart shape. The word “ear” itself sits in the middle of the word “heart”. The ear is the way to the heart. So if you want someone’s “heart”, learn to listen to him or her more.
