Tuesdaytalk - HOTTEST TOPICS ON THE COCKTAIL CIRCUIT
published: Tuesday | September 23, 2008

Land grabber

1. If you are a Big Man in this country, you need not adhere to any building regulations. You could encroach on public thoroughfare, the beachfront or any place your heart desires. There will not be any consequences. Take this very powerful individual whose mansion in the nation's capital has now extended into the upper reaches of the embankment, which had been established to protect those properties from land slippage. Now, who would be so bold to scold him?

Come over and help

2. A number of Jamaicans now enjoy high-profile jobs in the rival airline and, from all accounts, a very senior man is being courted to come over and save the lovebird. Family considerations aside, this is a tough call to make - it's a case of patriotism versus financial stability.

Glass ceiling

3. What's with this clichéd glass-ceiling reference? The concept is new to American women in politics, but we have already shattered that ceiling so let's not grab meaningless phrases and try to apply them where they are no longer relevant.

Happy riddance

4. The lady had hoped that when she slammed the door, someone would come running after her begging her to come back. After waiting for a couple of months, it became obvious that her slot would be filled and it seemed like a case of happy riddance. Finally, she has accepted that she would not be ruling that roost so she is hanging her skirt somewhere else.

Science again!

5. Our sources suggest that there was much powder sprinkling going on over the past weekend. You would not believe the chief architect of this piece of science.

Most inappropriate

6. The gift of fine scotch whiskey was ill-timed and deemed inappropriate.
