OFF THE RECORD
HARVEY Weinstein’s touchyfeely approach to employee advancement seems to have a local equivalent. A few of this dastardly dude’s former female underlings have told friends of comparable behaviour where a full body frisk was considered his way of saying hello or goodbye. The modus operandi was very similar with the creepy crawly always engaging in his aberrant behaviour when there were no witnesses. No official complaints were ever made but if he continues to let his fingers do the talking he may find himself in a firestorm of his own making.
AS is often the way at functions, name tags are laid out at the door to enable participants to know who they are talking to during the event. Not so for this dame who when offered one stated loudly, “No, thank you dear. If they don’t know who I am then I don’t want to talk to them”. How not to win friends and influence people in one easy lesson.
THEY were hot and heavy around town for many a month before briefly setting up shop in his palatial home. Sadly the attachment didn’t last and they separated but she has now decided that something needs to be paid to compensate her for the loss of a lavish lifestyle that became second nature over time. Anxious to avoid forking out any moolah he has taken on the West Australian defence much used by Alan Bond and Carmen Lawrence in trying times. To wit … he can’t recall. Citing age, stress and a wayward memory he is denying all knowledge of ever living with her. Let’s see if this works out.
THIS very small bundle of energy is always full of fun. At a recent social event she happened to run into the gynaecologist who delivered her babies some 20 years ago. “You may not remember me,” she cooed, “but you once were my doctor.” The needle-sharp doctor quickly took one look at her and with a wry smile said “Sorry dear, I don’t because they all look alike.” Does he mean babies?
SHE is definitely not the sweet bird of youth but this grand widow thought she had found love again. The man of her dreams was everything she was looking for – very attentive, kind and generous – except for one teeny glitch. The reason for her not being 100 per cent happy is that he constantly calls her by his late wife’s name. To compound the error, the specific name is used at the most inappropriate time. Even “oh darling” would be better.
