The Bahrain banker's pants which mysteriously appeared on the living room chandeliers of a motor company executive's home seem to have taken on a life of their own.
The same pair was spotted on Christmas Day hanging off the ceiling fans inside the Bull's Head at the Dilmun Club.
One thing for certain is that we can rule out a dashing Gulf Finance House executive as the owner of the underwear.
Apparently he went on a romantic short trip to Paris with his beloved wife and found the city of romance so chilly he not only wore his underpants but also a pair of warm pyjamas under his trousers, shirt, jumper and overcoat on a sight-seeing tour!
Residents in Amwaj have something else to cheer this New Year.
BMMI are going to be 'first out of the box' at Amwaj. They have concluded a deal with developer Ossis to establish an Al Osra supermarket at the entrance to the island development.
Initially the shop will be housed in a temporary building and should be open by the middle of January.
It will mean that residents will not have a round trip of 10 km to get a pint of milk and a loaf!
