Nutshell

Double dealing

Poor Mangy, now the tic in Satty's eye, nearly blew a gasket when he heard that Satty had summoned the chiefs of the state press for a tete-a-tete. Mangy was in pastures beyond this ole isle but nevertheless phoned Satty pronto and demanded she not meet with the heads until he was present too. What with him being media angel and all. But Satty being the wicked witch she is agreed, but then went ahead with the meeting minus the two wild asses at the Rupavahini and Eye Tee En - Zoo-hair and New-ton who are Mangy loyalists. Boo! Hoo!

 

Lost cause

And if that was not bad enough Mangy had more to bawl about. For when he landed in the Lion City his bag with all that designer wear had gone missing. What with having to cope with a heavy heart and all, the blot was seen traipsing round city stores buying his undies and socks in utter despair. Sniff! Sniff!

 

Mixed blessings

Such is Satty's largesse of heart that she took herself all the way down to Tangalla to open with aplomb a luxurious hotel where going rates will be US$ 500 a night. Surrounded by vast expanses of water Satty's idiot gits from the Pee Es Dee stepped slap bang into the pool, unable to discern the difference between water and lobby. All this while the tent dwellers are sweating it out just 100 meters away with no roof over their heads. And Satty grumbles to dish out a paltry 5,000 smackers to the unfortunate lot. Hmph!

 

Dead ropes

There was Ra-kneel whispering sweet nothings into the ear of the Pee Em about sending Clown Prince dead ropes, but Ma-hindeer shot back, "now you are telling me this but you are the one who sent all those blasted messages to the Clown Prince giving him hope that he can be the next Prez and since then the crazy git is giving me no end of darned grief." The mischievous grin on Ra-kneel's face spoke volumes. After all Ra-kneel is past master at giving dead ropes eh?

 

The tourist

Remember this rag's piece last week on the latest film on the block, 'beyond beaches?' Well, guess what. we managed to get a peek into the all consuming documentary and who is the star of the show? Nay, not the damsels adorning the rock walls of Sigiriya but a German lass no less. And guess who she is? None other than the short haired blond from Gee Tee Zee fame. The gits who funded this doc insisted they star in the show as well. A Lankan lass adorned with pottu descending Adams Peak apparently could not compete with the German lass climbing rock and so was given the chop. Well, to be multi-cultural is the theme right?... right?

 

Small mercies

This is the latest joke on Satty. There she was together with 10 of her ministering angels hanging for dear life on a rope under a helicopter. Ten men and one woman. The rope however was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave, because otherwise they were all going to fall.

They weren't able to name that person, until Satty opened her trap and began to speak. This time she held back the slang and instead gave a very touching speech.

She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because, as a woman, she was used to giving up everything for this ole isle and her darling kids, and was used to always making sacrifices with little in return. As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started whistling and clapping their hands. And the smirk on Satty's face said it all...  Aaahhh!  Thump!
