Leader of PNG Party and Member for Vanimo-Green, Belden Namah wants the 400 year old King James version Bible taken out of the Parliament chambers. He has suggested the Bible be placed at the Grand Hall of Parliament. “Mr. Speaker, dispela haus em ples we yumi save debate. Yumi save debate na yumi save wokim kain kain toktok. Sampela toktok emi gutpela toktok. Sampela toktok em nogut toktok. Sampela toktok yumi bagarapim narapela brata, narapela memba.

A final edition of the Mini Clubman is being produced in a limited number to mark the end of a model that was first launched in 1969, writes Brian Byrne. Adding a wagon to the iconic Mini two-door saloon of the time, it had split rear doors, a feature which was retained when the ‘modern’ Mini version was introduced in 2007. At that point it also got a rear-hinged single extra door so passengers could more easily access the rear seats. In 2015 the car got a further stretched wheelbase, allowing for two rear passenger doors. The Final Edition will be limited to 1,969 units globally, reflecting the model’s year of introduction. Just 100 of those will be RHD for the UK, and presumably the Irish, market. Just one specification — a Cooper S engine, ‘Exclusive’ trim, and choice of Black, White or Silver exterior paint colours. If you’re in the UK, you can pre-order one for £37,000 OTR.

However the long lasting effect of the initial books in this series (laugh out loud, rolling on the floor kind) are such that to date I pick up a Plum book with an anticipatory grin. Thank the good lord, this one does not disappoint – not entirely. Read more »
