General election halted

1. Some observers are saying that the parish council by-election outcome has stalled the general election. They contend that, had the governing JLP won, then the general election would be in the offing, before the IMF realities sink in.

New appointment

2. Some say there was a falling out between the young ones and the recently retired one. Others have a different take on things, however. They say the resignation is to facilitate a new appointment to replace the one demitting office soon.

No party

3. Staffers are saying don't expect any grand send-off for this one, as they would rather see him just go quietly as he was too much of a disruptive force.

Wife's lover

4. Some say that the wife's decision to take a lover is not surprising. What is surprising, they say, is the gender of the lover!

Blackmail history

5. With a history of blackmail, extortion and abuse, some are asking why is the frequent offender still free to ply his 'trade'.

Will he return?

6. They say the one in therapy is taking to the treatment like a duck to water, and is coming on very nicely. The question on the minds of his supporters, though, is: Will he be allowed to return?

Wife and mistress

7. How to get rid of a mistress: Be nice to her, extremely nice! The hubby was ill and in bed and so he missed a payment to the mistress. After many a call to the husband's number went unanswered, the wife finally answered his phone and enquired what it was that the caller needed. When the caller informed the wife that her husband was supposed to wire her funds, the wife simply asked how much and without missing a beat, sent off the requested amount! That was some time ago and, to date, the mistress is yet to resume her liaison with the husband. Definitely the way to go!
