Beautiful women, cricket vibes and the Dream team gets ready to rumble with Smirnoff. 

Thursdaytalk: Hottest topics on the cocktail circuit.

He's an embarrassment

1.The news of the trip was first leaked by insiders who are described as 'livid!' They say it continues to show bad form and poor judgement, coming as it did on the heels of the report and the associated fallout. And they are not amused, as they say his antics continue to show them in a bad light!

Let's do it ourselves

2.Some are saying it's still a case of one from 10 leaving zero, and it's time Jamaica goes it alone and leaves West Indies cricket alone, as those in charge seems determined to continue to preside over the death of the once-formidable regional cricketing body!

Nothing to shout about

3.Not everyone in the industry is lining up to sing his praises, as some say he is all feathers and no chicken. They say for all his talk about opening new gateways, he has not presided over an expansion of the industry, but its contraction, as three hotels have shuttered their doors under his watch, with one since reopening and two remaining closed, one going back two or so years!

Make a move

4.Some are saying it's obvious that there is something wrong in the state of Denmark where the JDIP is concerned, and for the PM to join the chorus in saying so is not the same as taking concrete steps to stop the haemorrhage.

Déjà vu

5.Story is this is not the first time he is picking up the tab!

New talk

6.Suddenly, the "new" word in government circles and their spokespersons is "stakeholders".

Coming clean

7.Observers say it will all come out in the wash, and if not, then definitely in the rinse. But it all hangs on the question of just who is a "Belonger"?
