NUTSHELL

Blackmail

A leopard will surely never change its spots. And ole Teelanga has been true to form issuing dire warnings that if the noose gets tighter he will not go down without a minister or two. His threats have been taken with a pinch of salt. After all, if the man names a ministering angel he will only further rubber stamp the recent tell all confession with a confession of his own. Grr...

 Cry halt

And Teelanga was not done with the threats. Finally meeting with Ra-kneel, he bared his heart pleading innocence. Ra-kneel however was not prepared to lend a shoulder. Instead he scolded the buzzby chief saying the Ess El Tee is not his private property and to restore the stolen ads to this rag pronto! Howzzat for a googly!

 heavyweight Bout

At the recent meeting in the Swiss Alps of those concerned with the rights of the human kind, two Lankan angels — one an ex and the other in power — lodged complaints against one another.

Both legal eagles, John with the right interior was spotted strolling into the committee hearing in full suit with a podiyan in tow carrying his files in true black coated style. Attired in similar fashion Nimal Siri-Parlour, nicknamed Archemedes by colleagues, however was seen huffing and puffing carrying his own files. How’s that for a sure sign of which one is calling the shots.

 Return Strike

Mahinda Sam is president of this commission and Nimal Siri-Parlour appeared in tie and coat with a case load of charges against Interior John. One complaint made against John was by Thalagoya of Anamaduwa fame. John however had done his homework and swung into the committee with no less than eight files, all holding damnable charges against Thalagoya. The expats on the committee were left befuddled, finally telling the two to go home until they could figure who was naming who and the case was suspended. Now if that’s not a free holiday, what is eh?

 Last as usual

Satellite will never mend her ways. At a recent jaw with eight members from the Divulpitiya Pradeshiya Sabha she asked them to come at three in the afternoon but only saw them an hour before the witching time.

With nary an apology she barked unceremoniously at the eight members as to which one had been in touch with the Pulle from Katana way, charging he has been the root cause of many skirmishes within the loving folds of the podu peramuna. The guilty member was forced to explain he had received two telephone calls from Pulle while at the Presidential abode as he had borrowed the ex angel’s car to come visit Satty and Pulle was frantic why his car was still missing eight hours after the action with Satty should have taken place. Tch! Tch!

 Coming... coming... gone

And Satellite’s tales of always late never end. This time around she was the chief guest at the blue and gold ties giving away of prizes. The programme was to begin at 3 p.m. The Pee-Em too was an invitee but dodged and asked the one who consumes, a fellow Royalist, to attend.

Ravi Kay arrived promptly on time, kicked his polished heels for a good 45 minutes and left in a huff as the lady was nowhere in sight. Not that Satty would have minded, what!

 In the blues

Hearing that Richard from Galle is planning a pole vault, Satellite summoned him for a cosy tete a tete. Determined to convince the man to stay within the warm folds of the peramuna, the Prez sent a special limo with a podiyan to carry the southern dissident to the presidential abode.

Her timing however was wrong this time around too and the prez limo was racing towards Galle when Richard was already knocking at the gates of the Janadhipathi Mandiraya. Ha! Ha!
