1. Did you hear the one about the terrible accident involving the two rural politicians? In their haste to get there before each other they both dove into the trough, only to find it empty, and hence their injuries! 2. The wife has moved out of the matrimonial home! Some clients are having problems getting him to account for outstanding business. The wife says it's his new-found love who has caused his erratic behaviour! 3.

The fight is now on for the scarce benefits and spoils as the big guns are now laying claim to some of the premium boards and their chairs. 5. If your mother-in-law makes you a monetary present to assist with the purchasing of a family home because of her grandchildren, should you be suing for a half of the home when the marriage falls apart? 6. Now that they are both working out of the same general offices, colleagues looking on are wondering if the romance will blossom, or the love will grow stale? The wife, however, does not seem to mind, as long as she is kept in the style and comfort to which she is constantly aspiring! 7. 'Kingmakers' have to die, so do not expect any rewards to go to the puffed up family! Nothing, too, for the aspiring 'Kingpin'. 8. Some supporters and friends are now finding that the telephone numbers they have been using for years are suddenly no longer operable. The sense of slight is made no less so when messages are left at the new offices and these calls, too, go unreturned! 9. Is the buying spree over? 10. The high-profile personalities wanted to join in the celebrations, but were told to wait for a few more weeks, maybe months, to see if the legal climate will change to accommodate 'returnees'?
