Future absence required!

1. It's not just members of the general population who are upset with the show of disrespect meted out to the official over the celebrations. Members of the offender's own party are hopping mad and are asking that she excuse herself from future national events to prevent a recurrence.

What a travesty!

2. Some want heads to roll for the national fiasco. They say last year's was dubbed 'Bash-ment Granny 1. And this years' was a repeat and so dubbed 'Bashment Granny 2!' And even then, they still can't explain some of the components that went into what should have been our national celebration.

The People were missing

3. Feelings are deeply hurt all around with the absence of the people from the requiem. They say the lady was from the people and a people person, so those who planned the people out of the service did her a grave injustice. They are not happy either that the people were missing from the route the cortege took and also from the final resting place.

No chickens coming home

4. There is a crisis of confidence all around and it could not have come at a worse time. Some say there is a disconnect that cannot be bridged as the chickens are not coming home to roost; they are all flying from the nest!

We're drifting

5. Some are calling out for leadership and vision as they are equating our present situation to that of drifting aimlessly without an anchor.

Well said

6. Quote of the Week: "The Ramping Shop just officially got larger."

Home training lacking

7. Husband has found a new paramour, so he waited until the wife was back home here on vacation then he did a cowardly thing - he sent her an email asking her not to return to their matrimonial home. That behaviour, friends say, was not learnt at home as his parents are paragons of the institutions of marriage and decency.

The song has been sung

8. They say it's a done deal, as he who pays the piper calls the tune, and the tune has been called so expect the announcement soon.

Why is this happening?

9. The question many are asking is if the impasse was a clever face-saving ruse designed as an out for the out-of-form and dethroned one.

Finally!

10. There is talk about another reshuffle; some say it's a pending realignment that has been long overdue.
