NEWS

• West Kowloon arts district has figured out how to get more customers, but not how to make them pay.

Going broke but also turning away revenue. Solid business model. 🤦‍♂️

• LCSD, perhaps in an effort to cut costs, switched the government-issued footwear contract from Mizuno to JWS.

Lifeguards’ opinion? 👎

So who is this JWS, maker of $125 running shoes? Umm, a plastics manufacturer.

The Tripperhead Gazette does not endorse or wish to imply that the tender documents read “cheap as shit and not Japanese”. That one’s on you James.

• August. Wet, but then hot.

• The boffins at HKU Med have made a breakthrough regarding nasopharyngeal carcinoma, linking it to the common Epstein-Barr virus.

You love it when I use the word “boffin”, don’t lie.

SPORT

• Registrations for tickets to this month’s Davis Cup tie at Victoria Park will be required if you want to attend.

Registration opens at 10am on 8th September (Monday).

I promise this will be the last Coleman Wong-related post until at least September 13th. Pinkie swear.
