Something extra

Over the long weekend there was more to celebrate than a break from work.

TUESDAY TALK

Doomed property

1. The Negril investors are in a quandary for it seems the property is doomed. Scores of people have paid no maintenance for years so, understandably, things have fallen into ruins. Even with an infusion of new blood things have remained stagnant, so where will it all end?

Cellphone evidence

2. Cellphone again. The wife has been keeping her weekly dates with the lover and all was going well until someone took a photo of the car neatly parked in the lover's garage. She has had a really hard time trying to explain to the husband why was she visiting someone in Mona when she was supposed to be at work.

Missing the point

3. They say some people never learn. Having had to pay a heavy fine for the involvement of the former, the entrepreneur now has the current fully integrated into the business. Some are praying that he is not bitten a second timebecause this would surely mean the end of the empire.

Big bill cashier

4. Is it ignorance or dishonesty? That is the question being asked as more and more people are experiencing difficulties at the cashier counter. Problems of incorrect billing and wrong change are regular occurrences. However, what takes the cake was the recent experience of a big-spender at one of Kingston's snobbish locations. After two small items were cashed, the bill was $2,000. The shopper, who had been on her cellphone suddenly became alert and asked about it, the cashier admitted she had made a mistake. Then there was the pear for which $1,000 was charged. The lesson is that one should check one's bill carefully.

Wife gone

5 .Eyebrows were raised when the wife who had spent so many hours at the "sick" husband's bedside recently was seen checking in five pieces of luggage on her way to Canada last weekend! Who is going to block visitors from him now?
