OFFTHE RECORD

Social media strikes again. Happily married for many a year this chap received a friend request from a long forgotten lover who was now living interstate. He accepted, six months later she wrote to say she was coming to the Gold Coast and could they catch up for coffee. He agreed somewhat nervously, they met, chatted about the good old days and parted on the best of terms. As they were parting, without thinking, he said, “Next time you are up, you can stay with us.” D’Oh! “That would be lovely – I’m back in three months,” said she. Now he has to break the “good” news to his wife that an ex is coming to stay. Fun times ahead. If a certain corporate type is wondering why he was making so many bids at a charity ball he may want to look to one of his employees. Somehow the staffer found out the code for his boss’ electronic bidder and proceeded to lodge a series of very expensive bids. Somewhat panicked the boss was running around trying to negate the offers before the cut off hour while those in on the joke were having a laugh at his discomfort. Good career move? Probably not. This is one way to ensure that all eyes in the joint are following your every move. This social sheila was having the time of her life rockin’ and rollin’ on the dance floor at a ball unaware that the back of her dress had split. Backless, braless and bottomless she was oblivious to the flashing flesh and occasional side boob spillage until one of her gal pals hustled her away from the leering eyes. A borrowed coat, a dash home to change and she was soon back on the dance floor. She left a lasting impression. The break from this glamazon’s husband has been unpleasant to say the least. He offered her a substantial settlement that did not satisfy madam. She wanted far, far more. Silly girl! After several auditions with numerous lovers she now wants him back. Sorry dearie. He is now with a sleeker new model with large headlights. Wow! Someone is really starting to believe their own publicity. “‘How great am I” attitude oozes from every pore as she lets lesser beings who have made their way into her orbit know they are really in the presence of greatness. She would do well to remember that those she has met on the way up are doing everything possible to grease the pole to hasten her descent.
