Official Match Thread Season 34, Round 2 - West Coast Wonders vs Baghdad Bombers at The Colosseum

[CursingFijian]

Thus thread is now a CursingFijian FAQ thread.

I'm looking to go to Fiji next year. January/February looks like the most feasible time with work.

Is that a good time to visit?

Yes. Book early though it’s a popular time of the year.

Steer clear of the minivan drivers unless you like riding on the very edge. But you do play for the wonders so I’m guessing you like to play it safe.

Looking for a quick bite to eat on the run? Make sure you get to a Hot Bread Kitchen and get a roti and curry parcel. You won’t regret it.

And always, always remember the Fakafines are not as soft as they project. If you’re buying beers…buyer beware!

Sorry damicky I cannot be your wingman.

Besides, I think Ligma is already spoken for.

Come & say hi to our good friends, The Bombers

Nah, they aren’t my friends. Will not acknowledge.

 

[HaroLad]

Still kicking, still king of this league.

Miss you.

King? How many premierships have you won back to back as captain?

 

[damicky]

Nah, they aren’t my friends. Will not acknowledge.

Come & say Hi to your Wonders teammates then

My favourite airport experience was in Fua’amotu International Airport in Tonga. This was some time ago now. I spent a year working there on assignment, and got free flights home 3 times a year!

Anyway, I was scheduled to go back in late November and return in mid December to help with the Christmas rush.

Just prior to departing back to Fiji the lady tasked with organising the staff Christmas do, comes to see me with a proposition.

She wants to give me some money to buy some duty free alcohol on the way back for the Christmas function. I say yes of course.

Anyway she hands me a wad of cash and says please buy 10 x 1 Litre bottles of alcohol. I say ‘NO, this is a clear breach of duty free laws and I won’t risk it’. This lady assured me gently that it won’t be a problem. She says when customs ask if you have anything to declare just say yes and explain I have 10 bottles of alcohol for the Christmas Function at the company I work for. After much assurance I agree to do it.

On the trip back to Tonga I do get asked by customs if I have something to declare. I do exactly as I was counselled and say yes I have 10 bottles of alcohol. The customs officer immediately summons a supervisor and they take me and my bags to a private room where they ask me to open up my bags. Which I do and there are the 10 bottles of contraband. The Superviser then reaches in removes two bottles, one for him and one for the customs officer, and I get escorted from there straight through customs by two burly Tongans with a smile from ear to ear.

Fair to say I tried to pass myself off as a hero at the Christmas party!!

When I think back on it, it always strikes me that for the locals the customs officer were so corruptible, it was almost an honest system.

OK. I dunno how that could have happened. Dial down the hummus hubris OK ?

Did I mention yet there’s a shortage of chickpeas ….. and you know what that means, mate.

Hey its the bombers, I wonder how many are left standing from when I was last active, and how many got permabanned for being dinguses.

 

[NinjaSwan]

OMG. You are talking straight to my heart right now. Palusami and Sapasui…

The Palusami was great, very rich though I don't know if I could've eaten much more of it.

Spit it out man. What sort of unspeakable heinous subterfuge are they planning this time?

The Palusami was great, very rich though I don't know if I could've eaten much more of it.

The palusami is really nice when the coconut milk in it has almost been burned away. It has a beautiful depth of flavour to it. It is definitely very rich.

But becoming morbidly obese takes commitment! And sugar. Lots of one of those things anyway.

Next time you’re at the restaurant ask if they have any ‘nama’ which is a seaweed delicacy.

Where is this joint? And will they Uber to WA? I NEEEEED to know.

 

[ClarkeM]

King? How many premierships have you won back to back as captain?

1 premiership won back-to-back as captain. You?

Hi Wonders!!

Last week, serial_thrilla advised me that my very own Club has been infiltrated by two NC members

I already knew about NinjaSwan ’s affiliation with this gang of undesirables … BUT I need your investigative skills to help me find the other one

In Sydney, always wondered why there's so few around Australia given how many Islanders live here.

Mate, that’s your Club!!!

Do not - under any circumstances - give the enemy ammunition to bombard your own club with!

FFS.

Glad you've changed your mind Pick, was a bit worried when I you said the Bombers would win earlier in the thread.
