 A former coach, a former captain and the new coach recently met at a plush Colombo five star dinner table for a secret chat. The content of the chat seems to be that the former coach is now supporting the former captain and they want the new coach to be their ally in this move to topple the flagging head.
No for the begging bowl again
Once again the top from the Citadel, who are even finding it difficult to pay salaries, have approached the rich neighbour for a loan. Sadly the stuck-up neighbour has turned his nose up and said, "No, not until there are these government concocted ICs."
The Adams saga
The former administrator of the Citadel once employed Mr. Adams purely for the convenience of his wife as a driver. Yet, as his salary was only an outsourced number, no-one in the Citadel knew about the existence of Mr. Adams.
Yet after seven years - even long after the administrator had got his own ticket to go home himself- Adams was sent back to base by the administrator, but no-one knew who he was.
 Up the gum tree
First Mr. Jack interdicted the lady with a name of an Indian river even without the consent of his IC colleagues.
Now they have understood that the lady is innocent and Mr. Jack was wrong and the charges against her were frivolous.
The electric chair
The Oracle has spoken. He has once again announced that he is willing to walk the long yard to the Citadel. However the VVIP has pronounced that if the Turf Accountant tries to make a comeback, he will certainly be in trouble.
However, this accountant who is also a member of the house was asked if you were given the chance of being a VVIP in house or the electric chair at the Citadel what would you chose. The answer had been - "The chair at the Citadel".
Taking the limelight
At the beach thing the Lankans were volleying well and picking the golds. Yet, the most noticeable thing was, when the lads and the lasses were bringing in the accolades, the two Ronnies were jumping into all the pictures making a huge nuisance of themselves even to the people from their own media.
 Show but no show
Before the beach thing, four musclemen were dumped on positive charges and the event was cancelled. However, one of them stayed away from the event knowing that there was going to be a check. At the games the organizers held an exhibition show for musclemen.
As the man who sidestepped the check was the friend of a powerhouse of the sport, the sidestep man was brought into the exhibition as he had side stepped the Test and was supposed to be clean.
Twisted plugs in bore holes
Once, when another Minister was there, he appointed a soothsayer to look after a ground in the South. Now the man in charge of the new up-country venue is removed over some charges against him.
Yet, this man knew his onions about the grounds and its intricacies. Yet, they say the man appointed by the present man has only a hotel background and people in the know-how are now questioning whether the twosome are going to make a soup out of this brand new venue. |
