Propaganda!

It might be true that over 800 landing slots have been reserved at Dabolim, but whether that translates to 800 actual landings of full aircraft will be another matter.

A quieter season may be a more pleasant season in many ways, but beware of price hikes and increased scamming on everything in the fight for more revenue from fewer tourists.

I thought the Goans fishing activities were more a necessity to obtain food,
rather than this dreamy love of angling that is being portrayed.
From what I've seen the rod and line merchants go home when they've got enough for supper.
The professionals do it for obvious reasons.
I may be cynical,but I think I'm right !

Yours Piscatorially ;);)

Can't wait !!!!
Can you ever see a Goan throwing a fish back as they do in the UK ?
I love the Goans (most of 'em) but they do have certain traits,mainly pertaining to gain, and avoidance of work.
In fact they will agree with you on this, because as far as they are concerned,it never applies to them.
We has a pub cleaner once who on being shown her inadequacies would reply
'Oh that's disgusting' , despite the fact she had been the only cleaner for 3 years ! Much the same.
Well it's almost 2 pm here, siesta time !
:thumbup:

Has the world gone completely mad - or am I seeing things. :curse: :thumbdown: :curse:

In the goanvoice today,"Goa for Goans" they now want to stop the ration cards outsiders, they can work in goa but not claim their rations or vote, cant see the goans getting of their :curse:and doing any work.#

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 
Can you really see them consistantly stopping the lamias and beggars. How will the henchmen survive without their dibby money.

I am more concerned about the threat being made by the ******** to poor Mickey Mouse a Fatwa on him. What is Minnie going to do. :sneaky: Calling Mickey a Soldier of Satan how humiliating for him.

I was going to suggest a petition to save him - but Mitzyboy has been too busy the last few days.

noni,
Perhaps we can make him our mascot? As he is now a maligned and despised FN, who has spent part of his life trying to make others happy, only to be told he is the spawn of satan, we have a lot in common!!:curse: We think he would fit the bill 100%.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

:rofl::rofl: Would love too!!! But I think Mitzboy is having a hard time with us at the moment.

We can but ask him if we can save Mickey Mouse from being called the Spawn of Satan by ******** what a load of twaddle. Like Christmas and Easter.
:wub: and peace to all.

Good morning Steve - can see you are more bored than the rest of us.
Will you start the "Save Mickey Mouse Club" and whilst you are at it
also try and retrieve our "Gollywogs" The thought of loosing them both is too much.

p.s. at least your rain is warm. :w
