The Hottest topics

Not secret

1. Some say the one who should be the guardian of the State's secret seemed to be more than a little casual in how those secrets are handled. Some are convinced that a recent document was made privy to others before it was made available to those who requested it!

Love affair

2. The mistress seemed to have grown tired of their closeted love affair so on Valentine's Day she posted pictures of herself and her married lover on social media. Well, it was not long before this was brought to the wife's attention; now there's hell to pay!

Legends in mind

3. Word of the impending Royal visit has the would-be 'right people' in a tizzy. Word is, there are many ruffled feathers around the city, as those who still pay allegiance to 'Betty Windsor' are upset that they have not been included in the official itinerary to celebrate the visit. Some say it's a case of misplaced notions and or priorities, but as one commentator said, "These people are legends in their own minds."

Where's the leader?

4. Questions are being raised about the solvency of the high-profile entity, as those closest to the day-to-day operations said the organisation lacks leadership.

Celebration time!

5. Word in North America and Europe is that the celebrations on news of the retirement are now on in full. While some are questioning the fact that there were no grand send-off or official farewell, others are threatening a bonfire and a burning of an effigy as a most fitting farewell gesture!

Murky waters?

6. Many are questioning the bona fides of the high-profile one. Some are asking to see if he's an international fugitive as his antecedents don't pan out and some say it's all very murky!

Is this value?

7. Question of the Day: One hundred and twenty million dollars spent on FINSAC Enquiry; One hundred and twenty million dollars spent on prime ministerial and ministerial travels. Which provided more value for money?
