OFF THE RECORD

SOMEONE has drunk a little too deeply from the KoolAid cup of delusion. On and on she raved about how she only wears the best brands/ top jewellery/exclusive that/ designer that. Unfortunately little did she know that seated among the group was someone who spent her working life selling topend fashion to the megawealthy. After a quick glance at all that was on show she whispered to the woman beside her that the hand bag was fake, the jewellery costume and the fabled frock that reputedly cost a gazillion was, in fact, a knock off of the real deal by a down market label that specialises in copying the top designs. Ouch! SOMETHING always seems to happen when a little too much shriek juice is consumed before lunch. Again harsh words were exchanged between two of the ladies over something trivial when one took exception to an innocent remark and let fly with some choice words of retaliation. It very quickly escalated into an all-in slanging match before the others could get the duelling duo to calm down. A new rule, gals – no drinking until some food is consumed because it only leads to a cat fight. SOMETIMES you try to do the right thing and all you get is abuse and aggressive behaviour. A kindly bachelor boy of not-so-youthful years tried to help a youngish woman get back on her feet after a failed relationship. To be clear his motives were of the best intentions because she was a friend of the family. A few weeks later she had re-established herself and then he was shocked to discover that she was slandering him to his family, calling him a dirty old pervert and worse. Shocked and dismayed he has vowed never to help anyone again, no matter the circumstances. SHE has a reputation around town that butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth. Her public persona is of someone where sweetness and light abound while butterflies flutter gently around the halo on her head. However, one of her neighbours has told of a Jekyll and Hyde personality when she is at home. Apparently foul language and abuse are the order of the day if anything upsets her in or around the house. Nobody is safe. Her long-suffering husband, children or the elderly have all been strafed by withering verbal abuse as she lets fly at those that dare to do anything she considers to be against her order of things. Stand by for some sensational GoPro recordings of the lady of the house in full flight.
