Troubling talk

1. All the talk about another deputy is said to be causing him great difficulty, as his friends say he sees it as questioning his competence and ability!

Annoying chatter

2. Some were not impressed by the incessant chatter that dominated the recent high-profile function that threatened to drown out the official speakers. They say those present displayed the same lack of discipline that they often complain is lacking from the general population.

No new expertise

3. Meanwhile, the new appointment is said to be causing disquiet where it was meant to do some good, as they say the personnel already there see no new expertise and/or talent coming with the newly appointed one and, hence, they are openly questioning the reasons for the appointment.

More dialogue demanded

4. Internal polls commissioned by one organisation do not support some public posturing, as they do not favour a return to the people at this time. So, now there are fresh demands for more dialogue to create a face-saving scenario to stave off what some say would be more than just a loss of face.

Kitty bare

5. Forget promised allowances and/or back pay! Some would simply like to collect their monthly salaries, but word is the kitty is empty!

What a way to hear!

6. Friends say she only found out that their relationship of six years was over when she saw him out with his latest flame on his arms. They say don't expect this to last either as, as soon as she has nothing more to offer, he will be moving on to his next victim, as he is only in it for what he can walk away with.

Lacking a realnew strategy

7. Some are saying it's a company to be afraid of as they have had four or five CEOs in as many years, and they are still proposing more of the same while its market share continues to dwindle!

There's resistanceto that move

8. Seems like the talk of the private-sector personality joining the Government is meeting more resistance than previously thought. Some say it would be a case of his boss putting a further stranglehold on the Government.

Another oneon the block

9. Another Miami palatial residence is up for sale, but this time, it was the mortgagors who put it up on the auction block!
