Mani Mani, Money, Honey

There are diplomats and, on the other hand, there are ministers in Stravaraland.

Rolandis basically called Lillikas an excitable and ill-informed boy over the latter's revelations of secret memoranda of understanding crap.

Why should the Yanks get our money, Lillikas may well feel. And why should the northerners get any of the oil money?

And why should Turkey get any of the money, on the pretense that they'll pass it on to the Ottoman Cypriots?

And why should a Sri Lankan woman get £300,000 left to her in her former employer's will, [as the bereaved relatives may well be wondering]? And why should we have agreed to a re-unification plan that would have cost us an arm and a leg and brought the economy to its knees? And why should Oil prices be so high - is it nature's answer to solving the Cyprus problem?

Why does it cost so much to buy a bank nowadays? Do men haggle better when they're not wearing dresses?

Why, Delilah, why gamoto?

Has anyone seen the President lately?
