OFF THE RECORD
WINNERS are grinners, as they say. Nominated for a big award he duly booked seats for himself and some supporters at the gala dinner advising he would pay the bill on the night. So, come the big announcement and our hero, hooray hurrah, is called out as the victor. One would think a normal person would be so chuffed at his success that he would rush to fix up the account. Nope! Six months on, the moolah still hasn’t been received while he is using the award to publicise to all he meets that he is a successful and well respected chap around town. Liar, liar, pants on fire!
LINE of the week at the Mermaid Beach SLSC relating to the donation by Aquis Farm of a quarter share in a thoroughbred racehorse. One wit asked if it really was 25 per cent of the horse and when assured it was, replied, “I really hope that includes the breeding bits.” Boom! Tish!
SHE may be of an age when most of her vintage are putting their feet up and talking about their aches and pains. Not so this gogetter. After many a year as a merry widow she has fallen head over heels in love. The man in question merely paid her a few compliments and somehow has unlocked all that pent up emotion. Now she is more than interested in putting her feet up … if you get our drift.
THIS won’t be the first or last time that this occurs. Visiting southern bizzoid has booked two rooms in one of our luxury hotels for a winter’s break. All perfectly normal … so far. The instructions though were very specific – one room for he and the missus and the other to be located on another floor and as far away as possible from the marital nest. Clever readers will have deduced that his lover is joining the party but the kicker is that it is his male lover. Another form of room service?
WHO is the femme fatale who has set her sights on an unsuspecting chap and is using her ample charms to lure him? In a normal situation, girl likes boy and sets her cap for him and all is fine but in this case he is married up to his eyeballs and is struggling to ward off the advances. Unannounced visits to work, presents, texts and phone calls have all been flowing his way. No fury like a woman scorned or ignored because the more he plays impossible to get, the more she ups the ante. Hopefully the flames of desire subside before the wife finds out.
