Thursday Talk

Devastated wife, children

1. Friends, neighbours and constituents are none too happy with the latest developments. Seems like the married one used his Facebook page to advise his wife, friends and constituents of his change in political, marital and residential status. His Facebook page has announced that he now has a girlfriend, has moved overseas to be with her, and is out of the political runnings for now, as he is now all set to pursue higher learning. Needless to say, friends and family are not only surprised, they say the wife and children left behind are devastated by the news!

Plum job again

2. Word is the con artist has pulled off yet another major con and, this time, the con was so successful, he's off to a plum job overseas. Some say it's a case of good riddance to bad rubbish. Others question if when he lands and it all does not pan out, if we will not see him right here back on the rock!

Where's the news?

3. Before the London Olympics, some viewers were already complaining that the CVM morning show was in need of a major overhaul, as many mornings, the 7:00 'newscast' was as late as 12 minutes, and there was at least one morning when it was not on at all. Now that the Olympics are on, the news has been scrapped altogether, leaving many viewers in a huff.

Upset coming?

4. A number of track-and-field insiders are predicting a major upset at the London Olympics, as they say Asafa Powell will be the man to beat in the 100-metre dash.

Fix them now!

5. Not everybody is impressed with talk of expanding the Highway 2000 project. Some say the feeder roads in most communities are in states which are close to criminal neglect, and before any more money is spent on Highway 2000 or the China Harbour projects, feeder roads should be attended to, and that it's time the Government declared a war on potholes.

Million-dollar rental

6. While many Jamaicans are rushing to London for the Olympic Games, many Londoners are packing kit and caboodle and heading out of town. Some are doing it to get away from the rush crush. Others are simply using the opportunity to make some extra cash as they let their homes and flats to those piling in for premium rates. Word is, at least one Jamaican contingent is forking out close to a million Jamaican dollars for a two-week stay in mid-London.

Another hit

7. The dishonest one has struck again. Story is that those in the globally recognised and acclaimed organisation are still coming to terms with the latest news of dishonesty, as they are still trying to digest the latest bit of news that hit the coffers of the organisation.
