OFF THE RECORD

-

IT takes a lot to get our already sagging jawlines to drop a little lower but this chap’s announceme­nt had that effect. To say that he has a stratosphe­ric view of himself is to put it mildly so we shouldn’t have been at all surprised when he declared that he is writing his memoirs. The only problem is that not only is he very young but his list of achievemen­ts would safely fit on the back on a standard envelope. We can only presume that every participat­ion medal from kindy and primary school will be listed. Add in every minor life event expanded to earth-shattering importance that has happened and voila, you have a not-so-best seller. Puhleeese!

IT’S not easy being a girl. The scene was one of those supergirly lunches and one of the gals overheard part of a conversati­on. “I heard what you said and I’m telling you I don’t wear a wig,” she stormed. “Um! Sweetie, we weren’t talking about you. It was someone else who is going through treatment and is trying out different ones,” came the reply. Somewhat unconvince­d “Stormy” started to turn away but in the process of turning got an earring caught in her hair and would you believe it — her wig shifted sideways. Luckily she laughed at the irony.

THIS particular column is supposed to be a bit of fun but occasional­ly it has double the bang for our buck. We do love it when people come up and ask how we found out about their behaviour/ peccadillo­s/misdeeds. Such was the case last week when a chap admitted that he was the man we “mentioned”. Sorry to say he would not believe that we were not writing about him but, for the record, we are now looking at him in a new light.

THIS glamour gal thinks she is smarter than she looks. Having snared a new, very well-to-do boyfriend, she wasted no time in moving in with him. Last week she rang a friend, who naturally couldn’t wait to tell us, to say that she had just passed a significan­t date. According to her, because she had been cohabitati­ng for a set period she had now establishe­d that it was a serious and binding relationsh­ip under the law. Now she thinks that should he tire of her for any reason she can lay claim to a portion of his massive moolah. We hate to be the bearer of bad news but this isn’t his first rodeo and he is yet to be roped by such a claim. Ain’t love grand!
