FERVENT APPEAL: A reader sent us this letter addressed to
Home Minister Ravi Naik.

SOURCE: Goan Observer, Panjim June 14-20, 2008

Your Excellency,

I am writing to your exalted self in order to protest the
publication in the Goa print media of numerous letters by
ungrateful whining Brits, who whinge endlessly about how hard
life is for them here and how absolutely beastly the Goa
government treats them.

I want you to know, Sir, that we are not all like that. I
feel honoured and priviledged to be breathing the same air as
one so magnificent as yourself. I think that Goa is the most
beautiful country in the known universe.

Goans are the hardest working people on the planet. They are
the salt of the earth. They are the icing on the cake. The
sauce on the pudding....

Goans elect only the most able, most honest, virtuous,
good-looking men to be their leaders, who then strive
tirelessly with no regard for themselves, in the interest of
the people.

The Goan police are toasted the world over for their
independence, unwavering objectivity, fanatical dedication to
duty, their steadfast commitment to justice and, above all,
their honesty.

I think that more Goans should move to the UK to help push up
our house prices and sort out our garbage problems.

Er, what else? Quick! Feni is the finest alcohol beverage to
every pass my lips. Fish-curry-rice has no culinary equal.
Bull-fighting should be an Olympic sport.

Is this enough? Now, can I have a visa? Please?

Yours in grovelling servitude,

Andy Butkiss,
Sea View Cottage,
Candolim.
