Tuesday talk

Falling out among thieves

1. People are predicting that the three musketeers will fail miserably in their attempt to take advantage of a new business venture and enrich themselves. They reason that each one is always trying to manipulate the others and, since they are all smart guys, it is impossible for so many wily ones to build an alliance.

It's cable's fault

2. Many people are convinced that pornographic channels, now widely available in Jamaica, is the driver behind the great upsurge in schoolchildren's desire to experiment with sex to the detriment of their education.

Duping the consumer

3. Some consumers are finding out that the devil is indeed in the details because when it gets right down to it, some networks do not deliver on their promises. The true test comes when one leaves these shores and tries to stay connected.

Man-hunting time

4. Dubai, here we come! This Manchester businesswoman who went shopping in the UAE returned home with a handsome young man. Now she has to guard him with her loaded pistol. Suddenly, she is the envy of her legion of girlfriends and some have decided to do some exploration of their own and are jetting out.

Dollar hunt

5. Wanna know how tough the times are? Ask any manufacturer who has to source raw material from overseas. With the Jamaican dollar soaring like a kite, it is hard to get funds to buy raw material, so many businesses are now teetering on the brink of extinction.
