PUDDING & SOUSE – Tongues wagging about battered mum

IT?WAS?pure bacchanal in a St Michael district this week when a woman received a severe beating from her 15-year-old son.
It seems that this woman has no luck because she was also recently locked out by her landlord and had to beg her mother to take her in.
To make matters worse, the boy’s father turned up in a rage, put him in his car and drove off without saying a word to her. But she is apparently not getting any sympathy from neighbours, who have been talking about her behind her back and laughing at her driving through the neighbourhood with her car windows rolled up.
Even her mother, who is supposed to be prominent in the church has been calling people and telling them off.
But people are taking that as a joke because they want to know if she is picking up for the same daughter who cursed her in front of everybody not too long ago.
 
Cellphone thief at large
SEEMS?that the police were called in to a health institution recently to catch a cellphone thief.
From what we understand, about three cellphones went missing that day and the police closed down two wards and conducted a thorough search, but came up empty-handed.
What we want to know is how health officials could allow this to occur in the midst of sick patients. And, by the way, what about the policy that staff working at health institutions are not supposed to be using cellphones while on duty?
 
A case of blind love?
A bet is on among colleagues of a certain man, who recently got married, to see how long the honeymoon will last.
Some are giving him and his bride only a few days while others are betting that the marriage may survive until the end of the year.
But his friends want to know how he could marry and live with a woman who destroyed his house, threw all of his clothes into a pool of dirty water at his workplace and put him out of her house.
They are saying that she must have him very bewitched since he left the woman he recently met with the white car, who was treating him like a king, to marry the woman who treats him like a dog.
 
Umbrella-ella confusion
A controversy involving hundreds of thousands of dollars is now raging in Bridgetown, and it has nothing to do with a mid-year bonus.
Rather, it apparently has to do with who should be paid this big cheque for the tickets from directly under the umbrella which went in a hurry.
One man has insisted that the money be handed over to him and not the company; the other has indicated that it should go to the company.
Now some workers at the plaza fear that this dispute could lead to the demise of the company.
 
Call for food man’s return
It was undoubtedly one of the most popular eating spots each workday for lots of public officers, people from surrounding businesses and even outsiders who got to hear the news of the cheap, tasty food.
But patrons of the cafeteria say the operator was not a known party man and seems to have suffered as a result.
Now that he has gone, there has been a popular outcry for him to return in these tough economic times, with good food at reasonable prices.
