 Hottest topics on the cocktail circuit

Self-promoter

1. Some legitimate business people are now questioning the frequency with which the self-promoter appears to make the news, while others never seem to.

Online chatter!

2. Amidst the brouhaha about online chatter, one well-known businessman has made it known that for two-point five million sterling, he too is prepared to wear not only a dress and wig, but knickers as well. Only problem is, the international star did not don any of the above.

Chance appointment

3. Not all are convinced that justice will not be affected by the "chance appointment". And they advocate that in this instance erring on the side of caution would have been the more prudent decision to take.

Opposition reshuffle

4. Some political observers are having a field day with what they say is the breaking news. They say it's funny beyond belief that while most were looking to the Government for a Cabinet reshuffle, it's the Opposition that will be shuffling its deck of cards.

International warrant

5. Story doing the rounds is that there is still an international warrant out for the detention of a Jamaican. No word yet on if it will be enforced.

Not news!

6. The cheers that went up on the supposed news that Security Minister Peter Bunting was demiting office have many crying foul, as they say the "news" item that was not a "news item" smoked many out, who were cheering the supposed news.
