SWEET MUSIC

THE new one to whom nothing is foreign was sallying forth homewards after his stint in Cat-mon-doo when he spied a handsome hi-fi set sitting in the dooty free and set about purchasing it pronto. But unlike his recently departed counterpart from the pee a who used ef em funds to buy a similar set, Tyronne Appu parted with his own bucks although the set will sit in the ministry tickling the ministering angel's aural fancies. And here's to happy listening!

DEFENSIVE FACILITIES

AND as for Kadi, who like we have been saying these past few weeks continues to enjoy many a perk denied to his ex-colleagues, has to now look elsewhere to have his fancies tickled. A little bird whispers that the pee em has instructed the ef em to stop facilities for the ex angel and that he must now look to the ministry that is defensive to acquire what is necessary. Hmmm....

 

 

PEACE-LESS

AND when Satellite presented herself at the saarky confab, she came armed with a prepared speech all approved and okayed by the trusted lieutenant to whom nothing was foreign not long ago. But there was one little hitch. The speech didn't contain a word on the peaceful process. But Tyronne Appu whispered in the lady's ear that an inclusion of peaceful matters would be wise and a change was later effected in the jottings to include a positive reference to the doves and the olive branches.

 

 

SHUT OUT

MEANWHILE Ravi Kay who has set about putting things right at the trading place with the zeal of a man on a mission, arrived at his vauxhall office as bright as a brass button a little after the cocks crowed. But the poor man must learn the hard way that in paradise early birds are as dead as the dodo. And so he stood outside a full 20 minutes waiting for someone to open the door. Tch, tch..

 

 

SLICE OF THE FLOUR DEAL

WHEN the pee em visited the land of the Injuns soon after taking office, the Injuns promised tons of wheat to feed the hungry Paradites. But a little bird whispers that an advisor on the pee em's delegation is needling the Injuns wheedling for a slice of the deal. The Injuns we are told are having none of it and have made some crusty remarks about some vultures who try to make some quick dough on the flour that is meant for the poor Paradites. Shame, shame!
