TUESDAY TALK

Close to loved one

1. The man in suit is back in the saddle, no time to worry about rejection. He has shaken it off and is now enjoying his great defining role and, for him, all that matters is that he is close to his loved one.

Ready to fight

2. The senior man is counting on the job for, afterall, it was promised to him. There are some key personalities batting for him too, but only a fool would underestimate the cunning old dog who is always ready for a fight.

No trip this year

3. This is about the time of year some people would be preparing ski gears in readiness to hit the slopes later on. Well, there will be no such expedition this year. Uncle Sam has become very hostile to some people. There are, of course, other places where the facilities are just as good. So what about Europe? Oh no, more hurdles in the way! Too bad some people will have to stay put.

Numbers don't add up

4. Not much has been said about the pilfering that went on recently. All the talk is about success. However, after the shouting comes the hard part of doing the auditing. The numbers simply don't add up. Is there talk of compensation? More to come.
