I was flippin through Friday's paper when i came across some articles that tickled me funny bone and made me question what constitutes as news...case in point...

1. The Mumbere's honeymoon in Mweya. Picture, front page...mumbere and wifey sitting infront of about four guards clearly guarding the man and sitting a little too close for comfort( in my opinion at least).

Now, my first thought was "come on guyz, should i decide to take out the Mumbere, i could take a shot from faaaaar away, he's out in the open!! hello!"

Then it hit me..first the guards are carrying those uuuuugly guns that clearly scream SECURITY! which made me appreciate the fact that "Guards" sorry detail security officers havent caught onto the whole gun in holster thing. sigh....

Second,in my opinion atleast, the Mumbere isnt hot news! we dont have that one celeb everyone follows around like Diana (rest her soul). Celebrity's in Uganda are like any other "Cause" in Uganda..they die out faster than you can say Celeb!

2.Apparently famers (agriculturalists) are being asked to register their chicken in deferance to the bird flu out break. I was wondering how exactly this registration is supposed to pan out. Do you walk in, get the forms and say "okay, this week i got David, Jerry and Peter? i dont know wats with samantha and rosey, they took a hike and never saw them again! i hope they will turn up soon though.."

i mean come on! plus this is an interesting way of dealing with the issue at hand.isnt the way to go burn all the chickies???

3.Saw an advert from HITS telecom interesting the masses in becoming dealers for them. This is the catch, on submission of documentation, you submit 200,000 shs. Now, i have no problem with this gimmick, apparently its a way to sort out the serious from the flacky. This is my problem, you arent told the "qualities" to possess so really, i may be giving you my 200,000 shs. for free! and as the company is under no obligation to explain why they disqualify you....

4. City tycoon Sudhir Ruparelia is to recieve an honourary Doctorate of Laws in BUsiness from Uganda Pentecostal University...hmmmmm

5.Miss Chogm...Miss Tourism...interesting

6.|Decided i want a kabiriti...sooooo kewl! okay, i need one..problem is, its locked to MTN, darn!

8. Im hungry!! ((hurries off to find something to eat!)

    Thanks T. So so so honoured. Who's the Mumbere? Is he a tribal king or something? Celeb?

    Maureen is coming home. Now there is a celeb. except she won't need guns, she will need anti sleep talking pills.

    i thought the same thing about the chicken, it totally didn't make sense.

    as for the mumbere, he is a celeb in his own special way.

    kwesiga, do you actually live in uganda? oba newspapers are just not your thing? i thought i was doing badly concerning being informed but you so console me.
