Thursday talk

Why the insults?

1 Some are saying there are those in the green house who do not understand the concept of democracy. They say how else can anyone explain that word of a potential challenge is now being met with a barrage of insults in an attempt to stave off the expected race.

'Clapping her down'!

2 The speaker was not well received at the overseas function hosted to celebrate the national event. Word out is that she made it all about herself and her relatives, to the point that some guests started 'clapping her down'!

What's the cost?

3 Some say it's a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't. The case, they say, is the recent overseas trip where some are questioning the absence of some from the entourage. What would be the cost of a large delegation to taxpayers?

File 13 time!

4 Story is, the high-profile self-promoter has been downgraded to a category-two interloper. They say he never gets it. He's been busy using the company's resources to promote himself and not the brand. Now he's been placed in the equivalent of File 13.

Not good for HR

5 It seems not every straight person is preoccupied with the goings-on in the bedroom and/or closets of gays. At a recent function, one person was overheard pointing out to a member of the organisation's top brass that one of the participants in the event "belonged to the aquarium posse". Story is, the boss was not amused and the one trying to curry-favour was told his comments were most unwelcome and counterproductive. He's since been reassigned, as it was thought he was not fit for the HR position he held!

Who is 'Ghettocrat'?

6 Those in the know say the name 'Ghettocrat' was given to her by some of her colleagues, and say, if fish come from river bottom and tell you that shark down there, believe them. So, enough said!
