COU COU & FLING FISH: Family can exhale at last

A departed soul is perhaps now resting more peacefully. A family – once distraught and out of pocket because money was paid to someone for a specific purpose, but never reached its intended coffers – has been able to recover financially as a result of a particular type of transfer. Some are saying that conscience and family lineage ensured that an effort was made to do the right thing. Others are saying it was the least that could be done after no report was made to the fellows in red stripes.It is a malaise that previously threatened to shatter the family to bits. Cou Cou understands that a sister of a notable person once had to sell off a certain item to avoid a stint at Station Hill after spiriting away some funds from a particular company.Give him some gripe waterIf a certain individual had his way, freedom of speech could become obsolete.He has taken to moaning, groaning and complaining about any and everything said or written. Indeed, so paranoid has he become that he has taken to griping even about situations that have nothing to do with him. But Cou Cou understands that he has a misguided consultant orchestrating his every move. Some are even saying that it is a case of the blind leading the blind. But this too will pass.The sad thing is that the moaner is in a position where he could make the lives of others miserable, given his known shortcomings.Woman of substanceA woman who is a class act should soon be slipping into a position which someone of similar gender has vacated.The new individual is expected to bring the charm, intelligence, diplomacy and sociable character that have always been her hallmark to the posting.People have already warned her to keep her eyes wide open as the previous dispensation still has operatives in her neck of the woods who would eagerly embarrass her if given the opportunity.Convoy to nowhereCou Cou has been asked to pose these questions in the hope that answers are given.Is it true that a convoy taking some people to the hospital was recently recalled to its base?Is it true that normally this would not have been a problem if the people going to the hospital could have gone without chaperons?Is it true that individuals in the convoy were recalled simply for tae kwon do practice?Is it true that because of the recall others on their way home had to work overtime and take the people to the hospital?Is it true that this location is divided down the middle between the career workers and the “switch” workers?Cou Cou has no answers and will wait on those who do to provide the information.Not-Welcome signsA recent canvasS of an area was done for a certain female operative and the results have not been encouraging.   People reportedly indicated they like the man they have and do not want to see her again in their community. It was a serious letdown, especially when one considers that she has friends in virtually every “high place” that counts. It will be left to be seen if her boss heeds the words of the masses.
