1. Rolling in the 2008 models

Since the taxpayers are footing the bill for the purchase and upkeep of politicians' high-end or luxury vehicles, will someone in authority see that security detail-cum-chauffeurs do not keep the vehicles running with air-conditioning units blasting while assorted ministers attend functions for hours?

Minister Mullings would be quite unhappy to know that while he is talking fuel efficiency, chauffeurs have been quite reckless in their attitudes.

2. Exiting the Royal Crib?

Some say if the urbane politico who epitomises style and grace had his way, he would send the current occupants of the Royal Crib to another location. This one is simmering and some people are predicting boil-over very soon.

3. Home Alone

The businessman got into the Cuban game a bit late. By the time he was aware of the Havana honey, the curtain had all but come down on the scam.

However, he did everything possible to eke out a score. For a time, he was blissfully happy and was being hailed as a player. Then, one day, he came home and honey was gone with no forwarding address and she had taken a few prized possessions, too.

4. Harvesting kidneys

What will they think of next? According to an email being floated, business travellers should be wary when drinking in strange bars. If it is true, the modus operandus is that the lonely business traveller is approached in the bar and offered a drink by a sexy female and, once he gets cozy with his new-found friend, he sinks into a world of oblivion.

He then wakes up in a bathtub submerged to the neck in ice with a note taped to him and a tube in his back from where his kidneys have been harvested.

Sydney, Australia, is said to be one of the cities in which this well-organised ring has been operating. For what it's worth, we are warning the adventurous ones to look out.
