NUTSHELL

Beaten again

Clown Prince has been beaten once again. This time to the altar, of all places. Long time buddy GG alias Batta from Dompe way, has had enough of waiting for the Clown to take the walk down the aisle first and now Batta has given his heart to a lass up Gem Capital way and is dreaming of holy matrimony soon, having giving up waiting for the old boss Clown Prince to do it first.

Batta, who has been at the butt end of many a joke by his pals for being a slave to the Walauwa, is now a slave to love, a bird whispers. Way to go Buts, way to go.

 

Bad show

The chief opposing one Mahinda walked into last week’s blue convention several minutes late. Finding no place in the front row, he rested his limbs in the sixth instead. And thus he remained till ol’ Satellite walked in a bit later. Still no change of place for the opposing one, even after Satellite took her place right at the front.

Then the Clean Lady from the Gem Capital walked upto Satellite and whispered that the chief opposing one’s seating arrangement was not a good show. When Satellite sent word out to the opposing one, he replied he was quite comfortable in row number six. "You might be, but not most of the others," word came back and the chief opposer swaggered to the front row. Hear! Hear!

 

fishy business

The other Mahinda, the fishy type is now all out to get his own ministry sec out. The poor chap’s main crime is not appointing the fishy one’s nominee to a top post looking after the coast. Last week the fishy one went and sought out the Cheap Belt Wearer, up until late Satellite’s sec for help. The advice was, remove the guy and appoint the additional sec and give the cupboard reasons for the removal.

Those reasons may not sound very professional though. But why fret so much, the old sec is now tipped to take over the ministry that is all about administering the public.

 

Hot celebration

The Hot Garden clan now in the government hostel had a party last week. It was Low-han’s birthday we hear and a sibling and brews of all hues were smuggled into the slammer. But Hot Gardens being Hot Gardens and nothing else, had the spirits and thereafter there were some boisterous arm wrestling we hear. Tch! Tch!

 

the ruler

Upali Piya, the one who transports the state, the one who made sure that phones at the House by the Diyawanna are only there for his abuse, has put another order. Piya has now decreed no member of the public be allowed into the ministry other than on Wednesday. It is an all consuming rule and has left many a voter fuming at the doorstep. Shame! Shame!

 

Having a ball

So the representatives at the House by the Diyawanna got another windfall with the four wheels through Injun cash. And some are having a ball. Take for instance Dumb-minda, Berty Junior from the Scared City. The little lad is seen around driving in the black beauty with lads of his own age in the back seat and burning tar right along. All this in the capital city, far, far from his constituency. He might like his beauty, but his only claim to success was his ancestry and beyond that there is nothing much. Rrrr......
