Between the Lines
WRONG EVENT
In 2026, the biggest sporting event in the world takes place, the FIFA World Cup; Samoa has definitely not qualified for this. The Rugby World Cup is in 2027, and the money for a sporting body will help with the latter event.
FIREWORKS
The whispers are saying that the current administration may want to celebrate New Year’s with a bang. The prospect of fireworks is still alive. There is no better way to watch money go up in smoke.
GUN SHOTS
People have been setting off fireworks as Christmas draws closer. A few people have mistaken it to be gunshots and have called the police.
STOLEN PROPERTY
Be careful even when buying things online, especially through social media. Some people have found their items being sold on the online marketplace. Buying stolen property is a crime.
CONDUCT
A woman who called the police after a break-in at her place is now scared to face the boys in blue again. One was more interested in the woman’s phone number than in solving the crime. Very professional.
ONE JOB
The person handing out certificates at the university graduation had one job only. A handful of students have ended up with someone else’s certifications.
