Once upon a time, there was this young basketball star called
Merv the Swerve. From beyond the line he sunk these wicked
"trey" sky-hooks, that swerved and whistled past grasping guards,
whoop into the hoop. To the uninitiated, the 'trey' is the magical
three-pointer that sinks major teams on the buzzer. Merv was "Mr.
Three-point-oh !" as the nubile pom-pom girls sang..... Hoo boy !
To all those who've been asking, who's the Mervyn behind Goa
Sudharop's Xmas raffle, yup that's him ! Though typically he's
shortened his nickname to Mervyn 3.0, in the process breaking
more than one red-ruffled cheer-leader's heart.... Giant of heart
and size (at 6.5 ft, he's some inches above me!), he's turned his
betting acumen to GS and Goa... And, yes, he did win that house!!

Ben, Kevin, Lisette, Silviano, Mervyn, Roland, Olinda, Victor, yrs truly!

known T.O. dives! We have an open invitation to denizens of all Goan

Canada, be our guest, we'll be delighted to wine, dine and shine you!

.....The Princess Margaret Hospital conducts a
lottery every year in its drive to raise funds for cancer research. Tickets
are $100 each. The prizes range from houses to cars to bicycles. Since I
did not want to spend time making another phone call in the morning, I
bought a lottery ticket from the hot line.
Three weeks later I was out of a job and at home. I got a call at 9.30 am.
Another Goan asked, breathlessly, "Have you been watching CityTv?" I said,
"No." My friend then said,
"Hey, you just won a house." The draws for the PMHL are always held live on
TV........
