Column 1

Game plan
Man of the House is on the wagon right now – waiting for March 11 when the first NRL matches are played. One thing for sure, he will be very thirsty by then.
No excuses
All teachers have been warned to start work on Monday to prepare for the start of Term One the following week. They have a few more days to shake off the festive season hangover and report to school on time. No excuses.
Beware of shark
This sign at an accommodation will force everyone to visit the restroom first before entering the swimming pool.
Charter flight
There is an expatriate charter flight from Port Moresby to Nadi in Fiji next week Jan 29 through Honiara and back arranged by a private firm. There won’t be another for quite a while, they say.
Missing half
Someone posted this: “I went to a psychiatrist today who told me I had a split personality. She charged me K160. I gave her back K80 and told her to get the rest from the other idiot.”
Various deities
Inter-faith services are organised on World Religion Day (yesterday) although we wonder what it can achieve. Muslims return to Prophet Muhammad, Hindus to Lord Rama, Bahaii and others to their ageless deities. Nothing changes.
Morata’s fame
Juventus star soccer forward Alvaro Morata has the same name as one of Port Moresby suburbs. No connection between the two has been found as yet.
Thought for today
Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination. The best is yet to come.
