TUESDAYTALK
Discarded ones are back!

1. Some people who long for the smooth landings of times past are hedging their bets that the discarded ones will rise from the ashes and rule the skies once again. There seems to be tremendous goodwill out there so hurry up.

Just how come?

2. How come the Oscar nominee performed so dismally when he was given the opportunity? That is the question on many lips these days. For sure, he left every port of call in worse condition than he found it. But suddenly, he has been transformed into the actor par excellence.

Wife under guard!

3. A dire warning to the candidate with the hot, young wife. All prey is considered fair game and there is no honour among scavengers, so leave her at home with a security guard - please.

Who is next?

4. The tigress in the office is making certain that no other (man or woman) gets anywhere near the golden one. Business associates and long-time advisers are being shown the door as the lady lays the foundation for life-long possession. Since not even family members are being spared, everyone is wondering who is next.
