NUTSHELL

BANDA MAGIC

KIRI BERTIE is at it again; this time, livid about MahinderŐs appointment to the opposing hot seat, the guy is setting the stage for battles ahead with his one-time bosom buddy. And A Bee is also nattering away about that Banda magic and of being the future blue presiding candidate  as one wag commented, his divisive tactics will only see the blues 'enjoying' a longer spell in the opposing benches.

CAT-FIGHTS

And so miffed is he, A Bee has now begun taking swipes at Mahinder. And referring to a leading interview with the guy where he was described as a 'street-fighter,' A Bee made a cutting remark that the house by the diyawanna is no street for Mahinder to be having street-fights.

But Mahinder is a man who can recognise a joke when he sees one. And he laughed it away saying that what with A Bee's constant foreign travels, he must realise that the house is not in LA either!

MORE SECURITY PLEASE!

AND having flown back to paradise after a long, lazy holiday while his supporters were being beaten up in the electorate, A Bee called up his right-royal buddy, the green chair man Malik and griped that his security had been cut down and he needed more.

A man with a sense of humour, Malik laughingly replied that with the kind of statements he had been making about Mahinder and ensuring further splits in the blue camp, the thankful greens would give him all the security he wanted!

ON THE COUCH

Malik also had a not too kind word for his one-time pal Satellite when she once again refused to swear-in Ass Bee to the samurdhi portfolio. And when a media wag asked what his comment was on this, replied Malik that her behaviour is so erratic she needs a spell on the couch. The psychiatric couch that is! Hmm....

SURPRISE, SURPRISE

MEANWHILE, Ravi Kay was notching up another year the day he was supposed to be sworn-in to cupboard rank. And when Satellite heard it was his birthday, she clicked her tongue in annoyance and announced she sure wasn't going to give 'that man' a gift on his  birthday and postponed the event.

But wifey more than made up for lost presents by giving him her own gift - a  surprise party, with the pee em in attendance! Happy B-day ole boy, happy b-day.

INNERVIEWS

MANGY is not a man you can keep down for long. He has now started yet another sheet under the name Irida Lakmina  and instructions have gone out to give it a semblance of independence by running interviews with green types - before the bashing begins. And in its first issue, the rag took a swipe at Mahinder, Katana-pulle and Fow-zie writing that they could be working towards a Satellitic impeachment.

And a furious Mahinder called Mangy up and asked him to please stop the dirty tricks whereupon a very apologetic Mangy feigned ignorance and said he would talk to the scribes concerned...

CONS-PIRACY

POOR Satellite is getting very jittery what with the arrest of Hot Garden and the grilling of Pee Es Dee terror Nihal Karoo, quite oblivious to their high-handed activities. And she griped that all this was a conspiracy to do her in and that after  everything is over, Ra-kneel's security type Soo-dut would march in to her abode and shoot her.

Hmm.. but once again Satellite seems to have got her wires crossed. To begin with, Soo-dut is no longer in the green bosses security contingent!
