Aney is it true?

Caught in the act
They say the deputy director general (administration) of the sing-song corporation is in hot water. The sing-song chairman caught him in the act of putting some vital files pertaining to a certain pending case into his car. To add insult to injury, the employee in question in those files was standing under a tree adjacent to the sing-song corporation.

Who the he?
He who is supposed to be the best among the referees walk into the press box and ridicules all other referees who are officiating at matches and then tells the pressmen “please don’t quote me”.

We say it’s not done sir.

The snivelling traveller
You ask him he says that he hates travelling. He is also due to go on pension in a few months’ time. However it seems that he is the most travelled person in the sports ministry.

He was in Portugal at the recent games and they say he is eyeing to travel to Qatar for the next Asian Games too.

Battle of the titans
The man from Union Place and the Man from the sea are at battle. Man from the sea was invited to attend the games in Portugal and they even sent him a ticket. But the Union Place man stood firm. He said there was too much work here for you to neglect and the man from the sea was confined to his billet.

Doing his home work
The snivelling man had done his home work. Before mel-tone went on retirement he had gathered enough material to throw mud at him and prepared a cabinet paper just to prevent him from asking for an extension of service.

The request for the extension came and the cabinet paper stood mel-tone’s way.

What a thing to do
The silver winning footballers were asked even to return the named T-Shirts they wore during the games. Then there was a holler of protests. Then the big fat man got up and said “This is only to discipline you. Once you return the items provided by us for the tournament you can have them back”.

A request from Panadura
He is from Panadura. He was supposed to be one of Mr.T’s insiders. However now it is said that he is the latest to show interest in joining the IC, but this request also has been turned down.

Who needs selectors?
Sri Lanka are hosts for a mega event with an odd shaped ball next month. Given that there are 25 countries in the region, it will be another 50 years before we get this honour. Thus the preparations began with a bang. The last event on the calendar was touted as the benchmark to finalise the squad. Sponsors were found etc etc. Unfortunately those who had to choose did not see it fit to attend even one of the matches. The head honcho was quoted as saying that he did not need to watch the matches because he already knew who the quality players were. The end result is that the chosen 31 include players who were totally outshined by their younger counterparts. It also includes one player who has a phobia when it comes to bigger folk. When asked one of the elite said that the coach can sort it out, despite the fact that it is obviously a physiological problem and finally it appears that at least two of the chosen may be unavailable because of work commitments. Unlike the most popular game in Sri Lanka, these guys do not have the luxury of merely being ambassadors at their work places.
