It's not the first case

1. Seems like this was not the first transgression, as stories are now surfacing about the under-invoicing to avoid paying the requisite customs duty.

Formal for semi-formal events

2.Some are tired of responding to invitations that suggest a formal affair, so they dress-up in their finery and come expecting a proper outing, only to be served cold jerk pork and chicken with cold festivals on styrofoam 'china'; with plastic utensils wrapped in paper napkins; and wine served in plastic cups.

Making others look bad

3.His colleagues are finding him more and more difficult to work with as it seems he takes himself quite seriously. Some say the power has gone to his head; others, that he thinks the only way he can look good is by making others look bad. So, he is making others look really bad!

Only women

4.The place was rented and the deposit paid in full for what the owners thought was going to be a small New Year's Eve party. It actually turned out to be an all-women affair and quite a crowded one, too. And, there was a mixed affair across the way. Here the men outnumbered the women by ten to one.

We will not accept!

5.It's a practice, common in the U.S., where a customer buys an outfit, wears it, and then returns it. Well, the lady who tried it here in Kingston was sent packing from the businessplace as one of the proprietors happened to have been out on Christmas Eve, and saw the purchaser in the outfit.

Santa visits mistress

6.The mistress has not yet been placed, but Santa brought her a spiffy SUV for the holidays and so she has been rather busy cruising the streets in the neighbourhood where the family resides. Seems she wants the wife to know.

Cash Plus victim?

7.Recent events seem to have presented the much leveraged one with the excuse of a lifetime as, when the bill collectors came calling, he told them he could not honour his commitment as every penny he has is tied up in Cash Plus.

New names

8.The wicked of wit have now renamed two prominent businesses around town.

Another walk?

9.Is the exuberant one getting ready to walk down the aisle for the second time?

Run for invitations

10.Seems there is a fate worse than death, after all - being on no one's invitation list for the slew of New Year's Eve parties across the city. To avoid this distinction, some flew out of the city. The newer ones, with their sense of entitlement, simply called up and had themselves invited to at least two prominent celebrations!
