Our cameras have been out and about capturing all the fun.

Big stumble

1. Those in the know abroad are saying the publicity-hungry one is not getting any traction because the wife of the one with whom she is accused of having a long-term relationship spread the word before she got there, that "the home-wrecker was coming", and this has dramatically curtailed her ability to network!

Where's the award?

2. Friends and observers are laughing their heads off! Seems the one who searches for awards was overlooked for a non-award recently!

Fixing potholes

3. Some are now calling it the pothole racket! Others say it's the new industry, and they point to what they say is evidence of this racket. They say it's the same potholes that pop-up every six or so weeks!

Let's stop them!

4. Some motorists are calling for a zero-tolerance policy from the police, in relation to some operators of minibuses and taxis on the streets, especially in the capital. They say some of these drivers and operators are habitual offenders, breaking every known road code, laws and safety standards, endangering the lives of their passengers and fellow motorists in the process.

Release the funds

5. More and more people are complaining about the practice by some banks to hold funds on US cheques for up to six-weeks, despite the cheques being cleared by their clearing houses.

Missing item

6. Quote of the week: "When Ole-time people used to say, 'You can't give puss butter to watch', the missing item is a case in point."

Bad aftertaste

7. Some members of the heritage and preservation societies are asking that the funds collected to repair the fountain be deployed to effect the repairs as they say the pitchy-patchy job done recently has left a bad aftertaste!
