Melanesian clash
We hope the PNG Kumuls thrash the Fiji Bati in the Oceania Cup clash in New Zealand on Saturday. Rugby league fans deserve an early Christmas gift.
Evidence please
Police have clarified they will only investigate complaints of illegal activities such as prostitution if they have evidence. A tough call indeed..
Useless work
Workers dug a trench across a road leading to a housing estate at Eight-Mile on Monday – then left. For two days there has been no sign that work is progressing. Hundreds of people living in the estate had to use a detour through a privately-owned shopping area. Absurd.
Randy beings
This is the area in a busy Port Moresby suburb which is becoming a popular hangout for randy beings who arrive in pairs for some clandestine exercises. There is a small bush nearby and a wall which these beings cower behind. Now opportunists who realise what is going on are demanding commissions from those beings. City Hall may consider charging fees too.
School lovers
High school lovers also use the same area (above) but are assaulted when cannot pay the opportunists afterwards. They do not want to lodge complaints with the police for fear of being reported to their parents.
Passport relief
A woman watching the Australian television show Border Security about problems immigration officials face at the airports was shocked to get a call from PNG Immigration. No it had nothing to do with what she was watching. Her PNG passport was ready for pick-up. A big sigh of relief.
Being blonde
Being blonde is normally associated with being dumb – for both sexes. For example a blonde man shouts frantically into the phone: “My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!” “Is this her first child?” “No,” he shouts, “this is her husband.”
Thought for today
Never ignore a person who loves you, cares for you, and misses you, because one day you might wake up and realise you lost the moon while counting the stars.
