1. Alert! Fake doc on the prowlThe fake doctor is at it again! He may not be displaying the stethoscope around his neck, like he did before he was duly exposed, but the modus operandi is the same - luring unsuspecting young girls into his luxury vehicle and scamming them of their money. He operates in the Kingston 6 area where he is likely to encounter up-and-coming students who like the idea of being courted by a doctor and who may sacrifice their last student-loan dollar to keep him happy. Beware, ladies, he is no doctor and he has no money.
2. Lifting the lid
Those in the know say when the lid falls off the can, a pile of worms will wriggle out - campaign financing worm, World Cup cricket worm, construction worm ... certificate worm - worms of all shapes and sizes involving our own Teflon don and his cohorts. Many are predicting that something is bound to stick this time.
3. Political strategist
He is content to be the kingmaker. He has built his wife into a political powerhouse and directs the band from behind the curtains. Now he is trying to get his young daughter involved in politics and he is making the case for her to get a position among the youth so that she will be well placed when the time is right for launching her career. She is a bright one too, so one can see a dynasty in the making.
4. Can't travel
Amid all the furore about dual citizenship, one could hardly subdue a giggle when a certain person boasted that he does not even have a United States visa. Well, it's not by choice from what we hear.
5. Prospecting for goal
There was a story doing the rounds about this widow who would comb the obits week after week to see who had become available due to the loss of a partner. Now the story gets better. This widow has taken to arriving at the home of dearly departed ones to offer "any assistance" which the grieving spouse may require. Recently, the scout was evident at a wake literally taking over the proceedings to the amazement of family members and friends. It's called prospecting, we were told.
