Re: In To-day's Newspapers
The corruption in Goa has got to a level where its not even laughable anymore. Once we used to think "Oh well its India and its what happens in India." The corruption in Goa is now totally institutionalised into the system. At one point you could rely on senior officers in the HQ in Panjiim to sort out the bent coppers.Now because of political interference and control from Porvorim, that avenue doesn't exist anymore .Corruption exists from top to the bottom in the police force and as for Porvorim,well enough said about that cess pit of political s++te the better.Its been said that people get the government they deserve, well that seems to be the reality in Goa today.The DeSouzas and Montserattes and the Churchills are like a leach on the skin of Goa, drawing its life blood out to fatten their already bloated bank accounts.There are signs of rebellion, like the demo against the River Princess being on the beach for 9 years,but that took 9 years ! Remember when that other ship ran aground at Fort Aguada in the early 90s ? A Dutch salvage crew removed it in 4 months because it was on the rocks in front of the hotel.Now even the Taj Hotel Group doesnt have the political pull to do that in Goa. Whats needed is a full paper advertisement in a Delhi paper publicising what's going in in the property market and how politicians are controlling it for huge amounts of cash.False land re-registrations,re-zoning.Scare tactics being used to drive the foreign nationals out to acquire their properties at rock bottom prices.Hotels owned by Goan businessmen ignoring the High Court in Mumbai(Donna Paula) Bent lawyers giving wrong advise.What is needed in Goa is Presidents Rule from Delhi. Its happened before in Goa because of the corruption there.Porvorim was suspended and the Governor was booted out.I cant laugh anymore because i used to love Goa, now all i have are fond memories of a place that used to be green, instead of concrete grey. Im not knocking progress,it had to happen, but not on the scale that its being promoted in Goa without any consultation or discussion at all.Welcome to vote bank India where the police terrorise the voters and the politicians pay the police.

You have taken me back to the way I used to feel about Goa,how much I
the place.Now It just makes me so sad PJ every time I think of the place.
I wonder and feel sorry for our genuine Goan friends.Yes there are still a few left that haven't sh*t on the FNs
It will never be the same again,this isn't progress,this is suicide for the little state in India that we GC

Please tell us Baga Boy what was the highest honour that the uK bestowed on you?
I can honestly say that where we live all people of all colours are treated the same, in the sons class there is a African boy, italian, chinese, german, (no indians) and they all get along famously. We are going to an India Mela on Saturday in full indian dress with the children and grandchildren, and family friends who are Indians. WE also have houses which coloured people live in and all get on famously.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
Morse code is a type of character encoding that transmits telegraphic information using rhythm. Morse code uses a standardized sequence of short and long elements to represent the letters, numerals, punctuation and special characters of a given message. The short and long elements can be formed by sounds, marks, or pulses, in on off keying and are commonly known as "dots" and "dashes" or "dits" and "dahs". The speed of Morse code is measured in words per minute (WPM) or characters per minute, while fixed-length data forms of telecommunication transmission are usually measured in baud or bps.
Originally created for Samuel F. B. Morse's electric telegraph in the early 1840s, Morse code was also extensively used for early radio communication beginning in the 1890s. For the first half of the twentieth century, the majority of high-speed international communication was conducted in Morse code, using telegraph lines, undersea cables, and radio circuits. However, the variable length of the Morse characters made it hard to adapt to automated circuits, so for most electronic communication it has been replaced by machine readable formats, such as Baudot code and ASCII.

From today's online Herald
Well, we've seen the journalist throwing his shoes at Dubya & I think there was another shoe throwing incident elsewhere, so, the esteemed, uncontroversial Churchill Alemao has decided to get in on the act with a variation on the theme:
Churchill blows hot, and cold - MARGAO, APRIL 19 High political drama unfolded at the Navelim block Congress workers meeting convened by PWD Minister, Churchill Alemao who went hammer and thongs against party leaders.
I wonder where he got the 'thongs' from? I hope they were new or at least clean - personally I didn't think there was enough 'weight' about a thong to make it an effective missile? Are thongs that cheap in Goa that an MLA can afford to be chucking them about. . . . . . . . . . . .
Yer just couldn't make it up. . . . . . . . . .
