Ego trip


The gent who ministers to our interior, aka Mr Bean, has finally persuaded The Man of Steel to let him deal (exclusively) with the Dr A case. Dr A being Hubby’s best friend. Hubby, on the other hand, is being handled by The Man of Steel’s Dar-ling, and he’s been advised to stay put in the Emirate, lest, upon his return, he too end up in the clink with Dr A. Rumour has it that Mr Bean was travelling abroad when Dr A was picked up by the Lone Rangers, whereupon Mr B called their head honcho and asked questions. He also administers a gentle reprimand we hear, but balked when the head honcho said, “so should we release him?” Mr Bean knows that Dr A’s case is bereft of legality, and won’t stand up to scrutiny but has now become an issue of competing egos. Question is, how long is the ego trip going to last?

Adamant


If anyone had any doubt about who authored the government’s riposte to the ISPR last month, it was put to rest by our mole’s authoritative leak. We hear The Man of Steel personally responded to the khakis overstepping their mandate by resorting to criticism of “governance”. Apparently, The Man dictated the substance of the government’s reply to his PSO and got him to type it out and release it forthwith. We hear some in the inner circle tried to restraint The Man of Steel but he was adamant.

Loudspeakers e


At a recent milad organised with characteristic efficiency by the Invisible Soldiers Inc., we hear Mrs Bobby was full of praise for the event, particularly the loudspeakers. Apparently, she said good-humouredly that the sound system was far superior to anything GHQ had assembled for similar events.
