Now Sri Lanka has the Mahadenamutta in security. When the men from the islands in the American seas were to arrive in the country there was a suggestion that the security bill should be pruned as the country has come back to normal.

The Mahadenamutta, however, was up in arms. He was vehement against the pruning of his bill. He said there are threats still from the LTTE, Al Qaeda and the European sector who are trying to economically destabilize the country.

He was adamant that the unarmed private sikka’s should be able to look after the national threats.
The former big policeman who was listening to a hoard of empty words just quipped: “The people in the big places say that the LTTE is finished forever and what more do you have to say”.

The manager thing

The manager thing is working overtime. Recently, the left-armer who was with another, got a break to be in Queen’s country. But, rock-of-Gibraltar prevailed upon him and said: “You cannot be with THAT manager, but you got to be with THIS manager”. The poor does, as said, by the rock and the pay off was another cap at the helm, in both versions.

Mahadenamutta’s team at work

It already hit the headlines when the sikka’s marched up to the wicket and took up positions during the water break. Then, prior to that some of them were body searching the penmen who were trying to attend the conference which was going to be held.

One insider quipped “Is this how Mahadenamutta is justifying the expense that accrues?”

We are Blackberry men

The latest at the Citadel is that the ‘yes men’ of the Gods above are given Blackberry’s for services rendered.

How to get a job

The latest qualification to get employment at the Citadel is that you have to slate Jaya and Mathi at the job interview and you are assured of employment.

Spot on prediction

Recently a senior cricketer who was in conversation predicted, “The way things are going, the day won’t be far off when Sri Lanka begins to lose to Bangladesh on a regular basis. Our larder talent is insufficient. Not even a breather from the lads from ‘neverland’, Nepal nearly beat the Lankans and then they fall flat on their faces against Bangladesh.

What a come down in cricket? Poor fourth Umpire

Conditions afoot at the Coliseum Stadium were shoddy. There was more mud in a water hole where the Buffaloes would thrive. So the few officials around had to go on their work passing the sight screen very often much to annoyance of the people beyond the boundary line.

After a while in addition to the already prevailing chaos, one could have seen umpire ‘unanduwa’ doing the job of gate keeping and trying to keep the crowed crossing in front of the sight screen.
