‘Custard pie in the sky’
A FEW moons ago, there were discussions on constructing passenger railway tracks linking all major towns and cities.
A great deal of publicity and enthusiasm had developed among the general populace as this venture would have significantly condensed traffic congestion and one could reach their desired destination in a quicker, contented fashion.
Who would not have desired a ride in a “choo choo” train?
Years have passed and we are now approaching the election.
Not a word has been uttered about the status of this comprehensive and luxurious expansion.
Have these plans been “derailed” for whatever motive or was this one of the usual numerous “custard pie in the sky” strategies put forward by our good government to excite the local communities, just like the proposed $1.5 billion Nadi to Suva highway?
I will not even touch on that incomplete $12 million Lautoka swimming pool as I have truly lost all hope in it.
I would rather take a dip in the many available water-logged potholes readily available along Waya St, Simla.

Lautoka quarter-finals and one progressing to the semi-finals, one can expect bigger things including more test matches for us in the near future.
Meanwhile, thanks, to a controversial decision New Zealand managed to barely defeat the Fiji Bati.
I loved the blend of new and upcoming players in out Bati side who brought much determination and new hopes.
It’s also time to make way for newer players in our Bati side and finally we are not selecting players based on reputation. FLOYD ROBINSON

Cyclone season
HERE we go again, the beginning of the new cyclone season. Will it be any different? Probably more wetter, with the effects, of La Nina. making flooding and landslides, common incidences.
Let alone the effects, of 2 to 3 cyclones, in our waters and islands, to possibly ravage our homes and flood our river deltas.
