In a Nutshell

   

While the sun shines

Having pilfered with nary a care in the world but now classed among the criminal kind dear Lalith and See-cille are now disposing of their assets.  And guess who the takers are? None other than our ministerial kind. The big-house of sports fame has stepped in to boost the coffers of this couple by splurging on a mansion by Bolgoda way.   An outright purchase a little bird whispers.  And all the while depositors with parkinsons disease and others have been left looking green at the gills with no sign of their hard earned bucks in sight!  What to do? What to do? 

Mission impossible

The government this rag hears is considering passing a supplementary estimate to help fund the cost of hosting an influx of foreign dignitaries.   And to think all the visits were in vain.  "A waste of time" said one of the three bears, not even bothering with the niceties of diplomacy and all that to hide his scorn!  Grrr!! 

Grounded

But the one who is spiffing mad is ole Boggles. What with all the white men toodling over to this ole isle to tell us natives how to do this and that and act more civilized - Boggles we hear is blue in the face having had all his foreign travels cut down by half. Sniff! Sniff!    

Friends turned foes

Those reds sure have got their undies in a right royal twist. Having broken away and all that and formed the en eff eff Wee-flower and ole Nande we all figured were as close as two peas in a pod.  Nay! The two we hear hardly speak.  So much so, Wee-flower recently had to tinkle the director of a hospice down Kotte way to ask if his ole buddy and comrade in arms was there under the care of the medical kind.  Hee! Hee! 

Hen pecked!

If there is one man who learnt fast how to dance his cares away - never mind that he chopped a couple of hundred heads yeons ago - is the tamed Tiger.  Darling of Colombo's more popular glitzy bars and what not the former striped kind is also in love we hear.  And the lucky puss sure has him in a bind.  For she whispered recently that if anything must be published about her beau then it must first pass muster with her!  Just so the guy with more brawn than brain does not get hurt!
