NUTSHELL

Confession

Reginald is not about to play dirty. Having performed a stint at the bastion of information ole Regi did not like cracking the whip and forcing those state media types to do exactly as they are told.

No sooner the local government polls were announced Reginald made a bee line to Rauf's at the house of tunils and saying sorry over and over again, the angel could hardly find words to express his grief over the recent saga between the two K's. Rauf had to calm the agitated git before making sense of his apology.

Reginald it appears was deeply disturbed over the pranks enacted via the state asses recently naming Rauf as a Casanova, and a drunken one at that. The angel was desperate to tell Rauf he had nothing to do with the goma campaign and had from the beginning like Pontius Pilate washed his hands off the whole sordid affair.

And no sooner had Reginald made his confession and received absolution he signed his resignation papers with a flourish and strode to the provinces to contest that all important election, discarding his portfolio with glee. Hear! Hear!

Honest work

And when quizzed by a wild ass as to why he is throwing aside his ministerial trappings merely to sit on the patched seat of a local council, Reginald answered with deep feeling - "I no longer want to fabricate things, I don't want to tell lies to the press. I want to get back to the provinces where I can work with honesty."

Dear, dear and here we all were thinking the likes of these angels is so corrupt that Satellite is fully justified in presenting to the house as the first bill an anti corruption law. But it seems according to ole Reginald that it is Satellite who needs a good whipping and not her long suffering angels. This maybe why there are still no takers for the post of media angel. Even Mangy is running shy having refused to face those wild asses he said once upon a time could so easily be bought over a bottle of arakku. Well, well, the boot sure is on the other foot, eh? As the old saying goes, ill begotten gains certainly do nobody no good.

Two of everything

Ratnasiri certainly believes in twos. Not only has the angel always held two portfolios even when premier but this time too has two posts, two houses as well as two... you know what.

The first little house is courtesy of Ra-kneel who doled out state houses to the podu peramuna blots like doling out fish to the 5,000. This enviable abode is situated at B63, Stanmore Crescent and the second home is slap bang opposite the first at B12, Stanmore Crescent.

The second home has been handed out by Satellite and was the former formal abode of the one for deputy defence. Having crept in through the back door of the house by the Diyawanna here at least Ratnasiri reigns supreme and can play hop scotch with the houses, tossing a coin each night to decide where he will lay his aching head. Some guys have all the luck eh?

Clown Prince's antics

The Clown Prince is soon to get his drawers in a right royal twist. The silly git has gone and opened his big gab and angered an honest blot at the 'bee o eye' so much so the latter is threatening to sue the Clown for a right royal sum of green smackers.

And the Clown is now doing somersaults pleading with the guy who was once a member of the khaki kind to lie low and shelve that damning petition.  Well, what can one expect from ole A Bee? The Clown is too full of himself to even think straight and if he does not watch his step will soon come tumbling down and akka will certainly not be around to pick up the pieces then, ok?
