Manchester United (Man Utd)
Hi, you dont need to be told by any one else but me that I strongly support Manchester United with all my heart my soul and body till death does me apart. It comes first to any other thing in this world. What a conservative support ...!!!
HOW I BECAME a MAN UTD SUPPORTER
It was in 1999 while in my First Year at Makerere University Kampala when my uncle I was staying with bought a huge TV Screen (SHARP). In the box, there was also 2 T-Shirts written SHARP and a badge for Mancherster United. I was given one shirt and the other to my cousin brother. I just took the shirt for wearing but I didnt mind what was written on it.
One Time on a Monday at MUK with my T-Shirt, a friend said to me, Oooh..! Kumbe you also support Manchseter United, became so excited and he asked me whether I had watched yesterday's match (Sunday) between Machester United and Everton [I believe Man Utd had won]. I just said YES.... bra bra braa....
From that time I decided to dig deeper to understand more about Man Utd, I started watching games, eventually with the influnce of other Man Utd fans, I started hating Arsenal FC. And from that time, I have become a full supporter for Man Utd and I dont miss watching games unless am sick or when the match is not televised. Thanks to our time zone where the matches are broad casted to our normal time not requiring some one to wake up to watch the match at 4:00pm. I thank God for this arrangement.
Big ups to all Man Utd funs out there! Ja bless U..
Employees...!!!
Be careful while seeking for Salary Increment! Read this Story
After 2 years of selfless service, a Gentle person (affirmative action) realized that he had not been promoted, no transfer, no salary increment no commendation and that the Company was not doing any thing about it. So he decided to walk up to his HR Manager one morning and after exchanging greetings, he told his HR Manager his observation. The boss looked at him, laughed and asked him to sit down saying.
My friend, you have not worked here for even one day. The man was surprised to hear this, but the manager went on to explain.
Manager:- How many days are there in a year?
Man:- 365 days and some times 366
Manager:- how many hours make up a day?
Man:- 24 hours
Manager:- How long do you work in a day?
Man:- 8am to 4pm. I.e. 8 hours a day.
Manager:- So, what fraction of the day do you work in hours?
Man:- (He did some arithmetic and said 8/24 hours I.e. 1/3(one third)
Manager:- That is nice of you! What is one-third of 366 days?
Man:- 122 (1/3x366 = 122 in days)
Manager:- Do you come to work on weekends?
Man:- No sir
Manager:- How many days are there in a year that are weekends?
Man:- 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays equals to 104 days
Manager:- Thanks for that. If you remove 104 days from 122 days, how many days do you now have?
Man:- 18 days.
Manager:- OK! I do give you 2 weeks sick leave every year. Now remove that 14 days from the 18 days left. How many days do you have remaining?
Man:- 4 days
Manager:- Do you work on New Year day?
Man:- No sir!
Manager:- Do you come to work on labour day?
Man:- No sir!
Manager:- So how many days are left?
Man:- 2 days sir!
Manager:- Do you come to work on the (Independence Day )?
Man:- No sir!
Manager:- So how many days are left?
Man:- 1 day sir!
Manager:- Do you work on Christmas day?
Man:- No sir!
Manager:- So how many days are left?
Man:- None sir!
Manager:- So, what are you claiming?
Man:- I have understood, Sir. I did not realise that I was stealing Company money all these days..
Moral - NEVER GO TO HR FOR HELP!!!
Have a Nice day

It was Exciting to meet an Old Friend
After a period of 10 years after MUK (Campus) without meeting, not even talking to each other nor sending emails because of lack of contacts! Kamusiime Winnie! I found her on facebook, Thanks to the mighty FACEBOOK. I exchanged a phone and on 11th April 2010 at 4:10PM she called me. It was exciting and now she stays in UK. I was the happiest the whole day to meet my old friend at campus on phone and shared some bits of our old days at campus. Whereever she is, I thank her for that and ask her to keep in touch. The world is so small, WHAT GOES AROUND WILL ALWAYS COME AROUND. I have finally got her photos, thanks to the Mighty Facebook. I have attached them to this page though without her permision, I hope she doesnt feel bad about it. You guys reading this, am sure you must be mesemerized by her beauty, if not all of you, you must be pocketing as well...Hmmn MEN... Watch this space ...

IT WAS A BOMBSHELL!!!
It was 22nd February 2010, when I asked Nicole Fahrney for an outing to CAVE Resort – Nyanzibiri. NICOLE is an American Volunteer and had worked with COVOID for the last 5 months implementing trauma healing workshops, soccer camps with messages on HIV/AIDS prevention for school children and many other social interventions. The 1st week of match was scheduled for her to fly back to America. Thus as an organisation had to mobilise a farewell party for her on Friday 26th February 2010 and was designed to be a surprise. Remember I had already fixed an opportunity to take her out on the same day to CAVE resort but in me it was a surprise party for NICOLE.
Preparations went on and all staff were invited to attend but were cautioned not reveal that to her. Morning hours was a staff meeting, we had lunch at office for staff as usual and community based staff went home as usual but in the actual sense they were heading to the party venue.
It was 2:45pm when I rode NICOLE on the project motorcycle heading to Cave Resort after I had informed all staff that we were on the way without Nicole noticing or even suspecting. On the way we bypassed some staff still going, and I pretended by asking where they were going? Reaching at the gate, still we met 2 staff (Resty and Scovia) I still asked them what they were doing at the venue? I asked Nicole to come with me upstairs were the party was organised. She was welcomed by a ‘’swarm’’ of people who were staff.
After getting shocked, she was asked to read some farewell words on the flipchart! Still in shock she shed her tears and Resty had to help in finishing to read what had been written. Speeches, eating and drinking (soft) went on as planned, then pictures taking with Nicole took place and staff had lots of gifts to give to Nicole. The small party was concluded by a dance and by 6:30pm the party had ended.
Nicole where ever you are, we shall always remember you and every minute here; you are missed at COVOID. We still love you.

The Guy Behind Me... Fearsome!!!
Can you believe it, This guy behind me is a friend and a workmate too! He fears alot and can even fear his own shadow in broad day light. I gave him a ride in a lake on the locally made simple ''boat''. But I tell you, he cried alot for the Loard Jesus to come back for rescue even when nothing had happened. We crossed the lake because its small in size and I brought him back. Check the picture and try to recorgonize his fear on his face. Later alone he commented that he enjoyed the ride but never wished to make it again.

IDI AMIN DADA AT HIS BEST
Hi, Friends!
A friend of Mine sent me the speech of Former Ugandan President Idi Amin Dad! I felt I should share it to whoever reads! Enjoy your reading
SECOND MEMORABLE STORY
After a luncheon hosted by the Queen in London in his honour, the former Ugandan leader Idi Amin had this to say for his vote of thanks. (Personally I cannot believe this is true.)
"Mr Queen, Sir, Horrible Ministers, invented guests, ladies under gentlemen. I thank the Queen very plenty for what he has done to me. I tell you, I have eaten so much that I am now fed up with malicious meal.
Before I continue, I would kindly ask you to open the windows so that the climate may get in plenty. But before I go back I must invert Mr Queen to my country and I can assure you, Mr Queen that when you come, I shall revenge to you. You will eat a full cow and I will work very difficult to make sure that you will come back with a very full stomach.
For now I am sorry that I have just made a short call on you. The next time I will make a long one possible for a full moon. Thank you for letting me undress you in front of all the disgusting people."
