Here are some riddles to solve. Cou Cou wants you to get involved; Scratch your head and give it a try.
Tell me, who or what am I?
I am a politico who feels But need space from people in need, So I moved to a place
Where none can see my face;
In a gated community I now reside.
Tell me, who or what am I?
If you don’t know who I be You must be from the Glebe;
But for us it’s a lot of fun
So we going to give you another one.
My new castle is in the Heights
With unlisted phone I enjoy the sights;
From those of my parish I am free
To enjoy my husband’s luxury.
Tell me, who or what am I?
If you have the skill
You’d say I’m from Gall Hill;
But if you can’t figure this out
Then you don’t know what
you’re about;
Tell me, who or what am I?
CLICO talk may be in the air
But at Consett I like to play
Whether it’s night of day;
In my beach house there I like to stay.
Tell me, who or what am I?
If you still don’t know who I am
You may need a body slam;
But if you keep checking this space
You will surely see my face.
Hard lesson
A PROMISE, it’s said, is comfort for a fool. But you can’t afford not to keep your promises to influential people because they make you pay for fooling them.
A certain politico from the south is finding that out the hard way.
The word is that a particular financier is now going from door to door in a well appointed, elevated district making it known that he has withdrawn his support from a noted politico because he has failed to live up to his promises.
Given the pedigree of this financier, his statements are not being taken lightly by those he knows. All of this spells bad news for the politico as he is now set to lose some big bucks when he needs them most.
Stumped?
A PROMINENT MAN is facing a possible date with a judge over some hanky-panky.
Cou Cou understands that this man did something inappropriate whilst at a certain location recently. Though efforts have been ongoing to make amends, it seems nothing has as yet dissuaded the individual at the end of the alleged act from pursuing the matter.
Those close to the situation say the man, who did a foolish thing before, is very worried about what the future holds. He is scared that this time around he may have to bat on a sticky wicket as his pleas for leniency may not be received with as much sympathy, given his previous antics.
A lot o’ long talk
IT SEEMS that a certain individual is so sick of a situation that they have decided when and where they will be heard. That’s why their voice didn’t roar at a recent noteworthy event.
The little Cou Cou has been able to glean on this development is that the individual was given certain assurances, but few of these have come to pass.
So, like Al Barrack, the CLICO Life and British American Insurance Company Limited policyholders, the teachers at Alexandra School, workers whose allowances were taxed and consumers praying for an ease in prices, this individual is waiting too for what was promised.
And who can blame them? After all, how long is too long, if it’s good when you get it?
