BUT the Pee A's Wanniarachchi is certainly no damsel in distress. While still clinging on to her fleet of vehicles, she kept calling Az-were needling him for papa's vehicle which was due from the last parliament. But Az -were who has been cracking the whip on errant angels who are loathe to give up their ministerial fleets, told the lady politely to first return the vehicles.

Finally Wanni had them delivered, but Az-were was in for a shock as the limos had been stripped of much of their interior. And now Az is calling for quotations to effect repairs which will run into hundreds of thousands of smackers!

AND some of them don't take kindly to criticism either. Last week after the leading types raised questions about the credibility of banking once again on Ken Bala, an irate Bala called Chariot Hot Garden and cried foul saying he was being attacked for coming forward to help the greens. But some green types certainly aren't looking at the re-appointment as help from the heavens and at the next parley group meet, some em pees are ready to haul him over the hot coals. Ouch!

SOME people have all the luck and the lives to go with it and our born, born and born once again Edmond Jay would vouch for it. Having got back to the boi through Satellitic influences after the brief interval following the expose on the birthday scam, Ed Jay is once again a happy guy grinning for the cameras with the professori and the new boi chairman.

Oh the life and times we live in!

BUT one man who is loathe to grin for the cameras -- or at any rate have his mug hanging all over -- is the pee em. Upon assuming the top slot, Ra-kneel sent out instructions that he didn't want his picture displayed at every ministry, department and corporation.

But the absence of the mug certainly won't mean he won't be having an eye on goings on...

CHOW POW
