NUTSHELL

Satty off to blighty....

Following fiasco after fiasco being enacted by those yakkos in the House by the Diyawanna sittings have been put off till next month. And Satty unable to control her motley brigand is off to ole Blighty to party. The Prez sure has cause to celebrate for her first-born is to swear the Hippocratic oath.

Well, well, big mama has not been able to whip those hypocrites in the house but we sure hope Yaso can someday do the needful. Congrats ole girl! Congrats!

 

Hasty retreat

And Maa-hinder, the Pee-Em had never ever seen anything like it. Adjusting his 'kurahan malaya' Maa-hinder knew when enough was enough and despite yells and screams by his more foul mouthed angels demanding he tell them what to do, Maa-hinder was having none of it.

Elbowing his way out of the parliamentary isles Maa-hinder had never before made such a hurried departure from the House by the Diyawanna as all hell broke loose behind him. He drove post haste to his ministry where he sat in isolated splendour to dwell sadly on the depths to which the once august house had sunk to. Dear, dear. Such is life ole man eh?

 

The denial

And Wee-flower having once been a member of the wild asses was hard pressed to renounce old habits. Hardly had the battle of the goons got well under away in the house last week before the git was spotted snapping with zest, photos of the ugly mob.

But the one who speaks was none too pleased and chided Wee-flower at the meeting of the leaders. Wee-flower lied that he had used his cellular to snap some photos. The one that speaks insisted that he himself had spotted the Rathu Sahodaraya breaking all house rules and demanded to know why Wee-flower was uttering one more damnable lie. Wee-flower finally admitted, defending his actions by saying if others could do it why not him? Well, well, and the silly blot dares to take high ground. Wee-flower sure can head the list of hypocrites what?

 

Gay times

We know there are many types in the House by the Diyawanna who favour their own gender for matters of the heart. But who would have thought the sadus would be hot favourites for those gay types in the UPFA eh?

The matter came down to brass tacks on Tuesday when the monks were not only pushed and shoved but also had their privates well and truly manhandled. Some of those angels certainly favour the saffron robed types and knew exactly what to grab and where. Who said the monks are only worthy for their dhamma eh?  All this may well kiss goodbye for good the dream of a dharmarajya - for the monks at least. What can we lesser mortals but say, Sadhu! Sadhu!

 

Dark Ages

The recently appointed Rathu Sahodaraya He-rath, the angel looking after matters cultural and heritage is a busy blot. The silly git is seen during day running hither and thither inside his ministry. Nay not to perform all matters official, but is busy as a bee switching off lights while matters ministerial await his attention. And the karyala karya sahayakas are finding it difficult to keep up with the minister being subjected to performing the more menial task of switching off all lights.

The only chance the clerks get to share some brightness is when the burly minister is long gone and away. Hmmm.

 

Scrum & tackle

And ole Rowf was once more in a dither. This time it was over the naming of two more national list angels to the As El Em Cee. The angel telephoned Malik the one that presides as chair over the U-En-Pee and using rugby parlance said "don't try to sell me a dummy. You can sell a dummy to a stand-off but I'm a full-back and you can't get past me." Also a rugby player of repute, Malik could only laugh stating he knew full well Rowf's ability to tackle.

But the matter ended well and the U-En-Pee the following day agreed to nominate Rowf's chosen angels.
