The irony
A hospital in Port Moresby had to use a lot of blood from its bank to treat those injured/shot during the Jan 10 civil unrest. One of the biggest donors to that blood bank was a major company whose properties were badly damaged by those injured who needed that donated blood. Oh, the irony of it all.
Feb 13
The saber-rattling and political smoke signals intensify as Feb 13 approaches. The suspense is building to a crescendo. Can’t wait for the fireworks.
Broncos’ matches
The Broncos’ first five games of the 2024 NRL season are against the Roosters, Rabbitohs, Panthers, Cowboys and Storms. Not a bad start, eh?

First week of school is challenging for first-timers as they leave the comfort of home for a totally different environment, and their parents who miss them being around the house during the day.
Confusing life
A wise person once said: “What surprises me most about mankind is that we get bored of our childhood, rush to grow up and long to be children again. That we lose our health to make money, and then lose our money to restore our health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, we forget the present. Such that we live in neither the present nor the future. That we live as if we were never going to die, and die as though we never lived.”
Court on fire
You cannot blame people for thinking who the likely suspects were who set fire to this courthouse in East New Britain.
Food for thought
When employees respect each other and get on along fine in the workplace, it is amazing how productivity increases, morale is high, and employees are more courteous to customers!
