NUTSHELL

Unkindest Cut

Agitated and angry, Tee-langa not only called for a cut of all es el tee ads to this rag but also sent a telegram from ess el tee to pay up our bills - pronto. The telegram arrived Monday after our expose and the ed's direct phone line was disconnected Tuesday. Yup, the ed did not end up dead but at least Tee-langa got the buzz-by. He sure thinks the SLT is his private property. Howzat, Mr. Pee Em!

 

Learning Cycle

The old saying first to Bata then to school has been given a lift, as it now seems its first to the UN and then to school. Ra-kneel is to take wing from the UN to the land of the Brits to admit My-tree to the echelons of higher learning for her Pee-etch-dee. Not one to be outdone, Ra-kneel is determined he and My-tree shall remain intellectually on par.

At the UN he was spotted investing in a book titled, Act Of Creation by Steven Slesinger. Sweet no.

Short Supply

The EU team met Ra-kneel in the Big Apple and Chris the Pattern who is the commissioner that is external told him his daughter was in the Paradise isle recently on her moon that is all honey. All smiles the Pee Em told the Pattern, Paradise has a shortfall of 2,000 grooms and queried whether some imports can be arranged. There you go folks, good ole Ra-kneel never forgets the Lankan lasses where ever he may go. Hmmmmm...

 

The Epistle

Hell, they say hath no fury like a woman scorned and who better to emulate it than our own satellite. Ra-kneel prior to arriving in the Big Apple went to Qatar with the one who consumes to meet with the Ruler and struck a lucrative deal for large-scale investment.

In typical form, Satellite was furious. Visibly bristling and now a prolific letter writer, 48 hours later she sent a missive to the Ruler no less expressing her displeasure of Ra-kneel's visit. The ruler for his part was of course surprised at hearing from our Satty having for the first time received such an epistle. The emir we learn is now fashioning his quill to reply Satty's strange and angry epitaph.

 

Wrong Number

Tee-langa who is under a lot of pressure what with allegations of paying big bucks to pull the trigger was a man in panic mode last Sunday and was calling all and sundry trying to seek assistance to put a lid on the damning revelations. He did not waste time even trying to reach the pee em.

En route to the Big Apple Ra-kneel was in transit in London when he was told Tee-langa was desperate to talk. No less than four phone calls were made to Ra-kneel on the mobile but the Pee Em was otherwise occupied at the airport lounge and the cricket prez just could not get beyond his media secretary, Sour-man the Atha-uda

 

Water, Water Everywhere...

Satellite we know is paranoid about assassination attempts what with Pulee and the crowd training RPGs on her presidential abode. Recently at a meeting she requested a drink of water and was handed one of the bottled kind - the makers being frosty. However before taking a sip Satellite got into a frenzy yelling the water is smelling.

The cee eye dee was summoned and Satellite insisted the water probably had cyanide. The drink was tested by sleuths as well as statements recorded from factory hands but the bottle was given the all clear of any poison. The end result is Satellite summoned a meeting and insisted quality standards be assured where water of the bottled kind is concerned. Sad that the Prez had to go into panic mode before action was taken to ensure the consumer is protected.
