What's up here?
1. Talk about justice not being blind! Some in the legal community are still trying to come to grips with the recent ruling in the courts that saw the chief justice awarding costs against the victor in a recent constitutional matter.

A mad rush to the altar
2. When the bachelor hurriedly tied the knot to his live-in lover in January, there were many who wondered why the sudden rush to the altar; as indeed, the said bachelor had dated a string of beautiful women before, and many thought he was too fond of playing the field to end his tenure as one of Kingston's most eligible bachelors. Well, January, February, March, April ... And the wife is now quite visibly pregnant, with some saying the baby is expected soon, so you do the math!

7. Why the visit by the Chief to Portland a week before the ruling? Why the ringing public endorsement? Seems the event and subsequent ruling have caused some jitters about the separation of powers.
Are they taxmen?
8. They are dubbed the 'taxmen', as word is that these three have an unofficial yet very active 10 per cent levy on those wishing to do business.
Special skills
9. What special skills does he take to the table that would account for him being named to sit on all these boards?
