OFF THE RECORD
A BIG kerfuffle at this ladies lunch. The day was a fundraiser to help a deserving charity and the invite specifically stated a drink on arrival was part of the ticket price. To quote from Animal Farm, ”Not all animals are equal!” There was quite the commotion when one girlie guzzler decided that she was above the rules after she was asked to pay for her second drink. The old favourites were out in force – “Well, I never/Don’t you know who I am/I contribute so much” etc, etc.
KNOWING that this dining destination had been doing it tough of late this dame decided to try and help them out by booking the place for a private function. When she went in to discuss the details she was told by a very snooty staffer that there was a minimum charge to book out the joint and was she able to pay for that. Not only was the amount quoted a drop in the ocean but potential booker could buy the freehold of the place if she wanted. End result – the booking was lost plus untold other future events.
THIS sleaze bag really needs to watch his wandering hands because if he’s not careful he will be up on charges. At a recent sports’ lunch a couple of promotional gals were only too happy to pose for any of the punters who asked. Not so this dude who definitely let his fingers do the walking. The girls quite rightly let security know and they kept a very close eye on him and marked his card for future.
POLITICS is a dirty business with all sorts of underhand tricks employed to try and “get” a rival candidate. The rumour that has been circulating for weeks now is so low it is subterranean. These vile and nasty stories are being whispered working on the assumption that where there is smoke there must be a raging bush fire. None of it is true and those who know the person in question are appalled at the slander. Hopefully this will backfire on the perpetrators and teach them a lesson about playing fair.
SOMEONE was super anxious for a bit of peace and quiet. At a celebratory evening the band was working its way up through the decibels from lawnmower to jet engine at take-off. One of the guests grew so tired of having to shout to his dining companions that he approached the band stand. “How much are they paying you tonight?” he asked. A figure was mentioned and he replied. “That’s fine. I’ll double it if you stop playing and go home.” Ouch!
