Wink-wink, nod-nod
Our mole happened to be Down Under in a toney, upmarket suburb of Sydney when his guide pointed out some interesting properties to him. “That house”, he said gesturing at a luxurious, sprawling villa, “belongs to a former VVIP from Pakistan and he bought it for $ 2.5 million Australian dollars”, wink-wink, nod-nod. Our mole was most intrigued and implored his informant for the owner’s name. The informant didn’t budge and our mole had to do some digging around all on his own. Persistent as he is, he finally got to the bottom of it and unravelled the mystery. The owner of the luxury Sydney villa turned out to be none other than old Canny, once head honcho of The Boyz who lord it over us.
Panic stations
Recently, in that plush Emirate, also known as The Mall of The Middle East, the late lamented Big Ben’s Hubby had a small accident and thought the worst. Rumour has it that he was cruising along a boulevard, driving his own swanky car, when another vehicle came and hit his car at the back. It wasn’t a crash by any stretch of the imagination but Hubby panicked, sources say. Apparently, he sped off to the safety of a garage where he had a significant comfort level and cordoned himself off for a couple of hours. Our source says Hubby thought he was being attacked, and that’s why he drove off swiftly.
All in a day
Guess who whizzes into Karachi on a chartered flight, takes a heli to rural Sindh for a duck shoot, flies back to Karachi and jets off to Dubai – all in a day’s work. It’s an incredibly well heeled son of a former bureaucrat, who fled the Land of the Pure the moment he lost his job, and has been in clover ever since.
