Bottle shop
Colleague went to a major supermarket yesterday morning just to check whether the bottle shop was indeed open as reported. Yes, and the beautiful smiling cashier even shook his hand. Long time no see. Eight long weeks.
Dark money
We dare the bootleggers to declare to the taxman the amount of revenue they received in the past weeks when the bottle shops were closed. Stand up now.
Jubilant reaction
Many are happy with the relaxing of Covid-19 restrictions as regards the entertainment industry. Mister Covid-19 too welcomes the grand announcement. He is expecting more victims.
Be thankful
When life is difficult, remember that there are those praying for things you take for granted. You have so much to be thankful for.
Bennett’s view
Wayne Bennett believes that Adam Reynolds will end the “tragic” search to replace Broncos legend Allan Langer at No 7. Maybe. Time will tell.
Brutal game
As Ricky Stuart says, rugby is a brutal game where one should expect a lot of aggressive physical contacts. Anything less will take away interest in the game.
Pacific rugby
The All Blacks for the first time will play a test match against Tonga and two test matches against Fiji in July. A giant stride for Pacific rugby.
Food for thought
Always remember that there is someone out there who is more happy with less than what you have.

“As it is, freedom of religion can be misapplied and the consequences of us not attending to it will be severe. It is not something new. We just have not broadened the scope and defined Christian values better as to what they mean in our context.” – Hela Governor Phillip Undialu.
