FLYING FISH & COU COU: The power of the dollar 

IT IS NOT yet the silly season, but if certain happenings are an indicator of what is to come later, look out for families being divided and several citizens smiling all the way to the bank.Cou Cou understands that a particular southern event saw considerable money being spent in-house to achieve a certain goal. In fact, some are saying that if so much money was spent for a skirmish, the bar is sure to be set much higher for the battle.But what has really left many perplexed is the seeming betrayal of a family member.It would appear that a certain individual was shocked to discover that a close relative that likes his music had abandoned her and joined the efforts of a rival.Reports are that the family could be divided forever.It just shows that money could be thicker than blood. Run, buddy, run:  IN THE TRADITION of the popular flick The Fugitive, a certain person is now on the run from the law. But unlike Dr Kimble, he might find it hard to prove his innocence.It seems as though this individual got too acquainted with a six-figure amount that was not his and now cannot reunite the sum with its rightful owner.The result is that when certain people paid him a visit they found an empty house and an empty office. Word is that he is now completely mobile, living from his car. There have been sightings, but thus far he has always been in a position to drive off his car which, reportedly, does not remain in the same location at night.A keen watch is being kept at both sea and airports. Stranger in the loop: AN INDIVIDUAL who once buzzed with the bees but is now very much entrenched on George Street, is quickly falling out of favour.Though unable to get away from the tag of being a “Johnny Come Lately”, he still continues to act in a manner that is not endearing himself to the hardcore Dems.There are many at a certain institution who are concerned that his tenure is not bearing fruit and that other than guttural talk, he is doing nothing to push the institution forward.But what has really stirred the ire of most, is the forced departure of two private sector individuals from an institution that they had more to offer than he ever will. Word to the wise:AN INNOCENT individual had a shade of bother sometime ago after renting an entertainment spot for a night to stage an event.While his event was in full swing, he had a visit from the red-stripe boys who had their concerns that liquor was being dispensed without the necessary authority. Apparently the house was not in order.That mark on the establishment was subsequently dealt with and it was back to business as usual.Now it appears, so some are saying, that the same situation has recurred.Friends are pleading with who is responsible to do the right thing, to avoid the embarrassment of going before a magistrate.The nick of time: THE REASON for the sudden resignation of two individuals from a certain entity has recently become apparent.It would appear that the organisation with which they were associated was in breach of a particular regulation that is the subject of a probe. Their positions would have left them exposed possibly to visiting Coleridge Street in a capacity different from what they are accustomed – one in particular.But some are wondering if the others were also told of the hot water they could find themselves in at the organisation, and, if at least one other person was advised to resign as well.   The final curtainCou Cou can confirm that an individual whose rubber stamp has much authority is now in receipt of an official document that will determine the future of a particular individual. It seems that those who submitted the document are in agreement that the proposed action take its full course. Now it is up to the person with the stamp.
