The glow from 'Champs' is still on, and we have other happenings.


Thursday talk

The hottest topics on the cocktail circuit.

Poor performance

1. The general consensus is not only that it was not a creditable performance, but that it was more damaging than helpful. So stories about a post-appearance celebration have many wondering if those involved are living in an alternate reality.

Special visit

2. Whispers doing the rounds hint of a Royal visit in the making!

A new low

3. Quote of the Week: "When you cause even idiots to be laughing at you, you know you have sunk to a new low."

Pretty woman

4. Her friends call her "Pretty Woman", and it's not a reference to her good looks, but more about the character Julia Roberts played in the film of that name!

Getting ready

5. Some political observers are saying things are in play for early general elections! They point to a flurry of activities all around, coupled with what they say will be 'a feel good budget'; and a number of ads all over the place by government agencies patting themselves on the back, by supposedly trumpeting their accomplishments, are setting the ground work for the 'Big' day!

Pay to heckle?

6. Some say the hecklers or supporters at the enquiry were on a certain ministry payroll!

Zoo change

7. Story is that the Hope Zoo is now about to change hands and become more 'secured'.

Cronyism

8. Remember the facilitation to acquire the institution and then the new appointment? Some say it's cronyism at its best, and the commitment to family only got better as the personal assistant is the daughter of the not-so-popular one!
