HOTTEST TOPICS ON THE COCKTAIL CIRCUIT

Making way

1.The Public Service Com-mission has to be recon-stituted immediately to facilitate a certain appointment, so all the Opposition Leader's pleas will have to fall on deaf ears. The story is that the current person is retiring to make way for the ambassador.

Who's the heir apparent?

2.He, one time, positioned himself as the heir apparent to the Big-Man, a foolhardy position, as many who were intimate with the situation commented at the time, as the Big-Man was never short of natural heirs. Well, the Big-Man's absence from the event has many now wondering how much longer he will survive.

It's not time for intervention

3.There's talk of unpaid taxes running into millions of dollars; people who are a few hours late in meeting their obligations are having their properties sold to friends or lovers, it is said; obligations that were discharged are resurfacing, it is said; and there's general disrespect to clients, it is said. There's now call for intervention.

We now know you!

4. Is that nasty issue about to resurface? When you throw stone in a hog pen, the one that holla is the one who got hit; so we know who the hog is in this case!

Please, make thefindings public

6. They say the report about the Bright affair was submitted to the 'Powers-That-Be' some four weeks ago. If this is so, why then is there this wall of silence after all the heady talk and suggestions of corruption and of impending prosecution?

Visitors from Kingston 21

7.Some residents of Kingston 21 (Florida) are now returning to the rock, armed with evidence of contributions and promises made on the trail, but are now having to make do with more promises.

Board problems

8. Some boards are over-subscribed while some others are yet to meet their quota. And the last ditch efforts to recruit members is being met with disdain by those they are trying to recruit.

1.8% or 18%

9. The numbers do not support the assertion, so did the tourism sector see less than 1.8 per cent, or 18 per cent growth to the corresponding period last year this time?

Mistress in the West

10.The West is now the favoured place because it is the hometown of the Mistress.
