Ah lil bit of this .... an' ah lil bit of CRAP!

Hear nah ..... when yuh livin in Trini ..... is no end of crap tuh talk about nah! ..... but ..... clearly I need tuh consciously set aside some time ...... tuh talk said crap ...... cuz I really doh know where my 24 hours of my day does go!!

Time Management ...... dat is what ah need ..... so ...... in an effort tuh start some now ..... leh meh jump straight into de deep end one time ..... cuz is real backlog ah hadda ketch up on ......



OF RUMOURS AND HOAXES

I am one who believe ..... that there is always an umph of truth tuh any rumour ...... so de odda day ...... when ah was on de road ...... wit meh radio on 95.1 (cuz ah was kinda detoxin from all de soca) ...... and de news come on ...... and de headline say ...... CHILDREN FOUND IN CONTAINER ON DE PORT ....... ah raise de radio (aka turning up the volume) pronto ..... cuz ah had tuh make sure ..... dat dat is what ah really hear ...... now after de report done ..... de whole scene was kinda reekin of 'far-fetched' eh ..... but ah tell mehself ..... it hadda have someting dey ..... cuz it make news!! ...... so ....... like any other concerned (macocious) Trini ...... I knew dat dis was ah story ..... dat ah had tuh follow ...... only tuh find out de same nite (on de TV6 news) ...... dat de story was pure crap ...... a RUMOUR ..... a HOAX ...... Grrrrr??? ...... cuz altho the country ..... breathed a collective sigh of relief ..... I want tuh believe dat SOMETHING really was found ..... cuz ah really doh want tuh believe ..... dat some idiot ..... will come up wit dat nancy story jus so ...... especially in light of all de recent talk about human traffickin in Trini etc ....... puttin false hope in de minds of families ...... wit missing loved ones ...... cuz oh shit man ...... don't we have enuff nonsense goin orn in Trini tuh study ...... why tie up de Police heads (and time) wit crap ..... don't we have enuff real crime fuh de Police tuh solve ..... and talkin about Police solvin crime ..... how it is dat de Acting Commish could come on de TV and say ...... dat dey eh find no evidence tuh support de claim ...... when ALL de containers wasn't checked?! ...... dis story so reminds me of de 'Trincity Mall, child wit head shaved nearly kidnapped story' ...... I really wish dat those obviously idle and extremely imaginative Trinis among us ..... would get a life (or a blog) and stop tryin tuh @#$%& de scene more dan it already is!!!



DANGEROUS DOGS

Why it is ..... dat people who own dangerous dogs ...... doh put blasted muzzles on de dogs when dey takin dem out fuh ah walk ...... and why it is ...... dey does be quick tuh 'put down' de dog ..... if de dog attack somebody ..... oh shit ...... is ah dog ...... ah bad one at dat ....... that's what dey do ...... BARK and BITE ...... and isn't that what people train them tuh do anyway ..... isn't that why people own dangerous dogs ...... fuh protection ..... and if it is yuh eh usin it fuh protection ..... why it is people are being allowed tuh own these dogs (as pets) without socialising dem properly ....... why are there no laws tuh protect de innocent ...... or are there? ....... and concerning de latest dog mauling incident (involving de 3 year old baby) ...... why was a 12 year old child allowed tuh handle two (not one eh) dangerous dogs ...... at de same time ...... ah 12 year old cannot physically control two dogs ...... especially ah Bull Mastiff ....... dat is ah big ass dog!!! ...... ahhhhh ...... fuh me ..... dis is such a rock an' ah hard place issue eh ...... cuz just as it irks me tuh know that innocent people are being mauled by dogs (aka pets) because of their careless owners ..... it also irks me tuh know dat said dogs (aka animals) are being 'put down' ..... fuh being demselves ...... i.e. AH ANIMAL!



PRICESMART

Yesterday ah went PriceSmart ..... which was ah kinda one off ting ..... cuz I'm not a member ...... ah was lookin fuh a certain item ..... and a friend (who is member) ....... suggested that I try there ...... so ...... under his membership ...... we went ...... well ..... it turns out ..... they didn't have de item ...... but in de course of gapin ...... I couldn't pass up ..... what I felt was ah real good deal ...... 5 panty fuh only $100 ...... now men wouldn't understand this ..... but women certainly would ...... cuz panties real expensive ...... so of course ..... ah hops up ah pack ..... along with ah pack of 2 camisoles ..... so anyway...... we reach up tuh de Cashier now ...... and she tell meh ..... dat dey doh have no bags ..... and dat I could buy a set (of 4) from them ..... some kyna jokey lookin market bag ...... now as ah say ..... is only 5 panty and 2 camisole I was buyin ...... so me eh buy no bag ...... but geeeez ...... de embarrassment of walkin out de store ...... wit said panties in hand ...... ah start tuh tink bout dem vendors on Charlotte Street ...... and how I would scoff at the thought of buying a panty on de pavement in town ...... but what was the difference really ..... except dat on Charlotte Street ..... ah sure ah woulda get ah bag (tuh conceal meh purchase) ...... but kudos tuh PriceSmart tho ..... fuh goin green ..... and fuh takin dat environmentally friendly stance ..... altho it was kinda mentally unfriendly .... fuh this unsuspecting customer!

Anyway ..... I spent $214 ...... and nothing fit ...... everyting ah buy ...... was too big ...... an' ah cyah return none ..... cuz ah done open up everything ...... an' yuh cyah return underwear anyway (which is ah standard rule everywhere) ...... so ....... this story is really tuh alert yuh ...... fuh when next yuh goin shoppin in PriceSmart ..... tuh either walk with yuh bag ..... or be prepared tuh buy theirs ...... and ..... if yuh lookin tuh take up de cheap underwear chain up ...... be sure yuh know yuh panty size (and buy one size smaller)!



TINGS AH SEE IN DE PAPERS


New Trini Dictionary

Ah new Trini Dictionary is out ...... yep ..... and it supposedly more extensive dan de ever popular Cote Ce Cote La ..... but den again ...... it must be ..... cuz it took approximately 30 years tuh complete ..... altho according tuh de writer ...... it eh really 'complete' ..... cuz as she say ....... new words kept popping up ...... but she just had tuh STOP at some point ...... and dat point was at more than 12,000 entries of local words and phrases ..... and get this .... the writer is not ah Trini yuh know ...... de writer is a foreigner ...... yes ...... a Canadian ...... imagine dat ..... it took ah Canadian tuh document we ting ....... hmmmmm ...... can't wait tuh maco a copy tho .... if only fuh ah lil upgrade .... cuz yuh know I eh like nuttin better dan talkin meh 'Trini'!

    RUMOURS AND HOAXES :Some people just have no life and have to make up crap, so they have something to talk about. Crap really hits the fan once Radio,TV and Papers, pick up on the crap and report it. Makes you wonder about the people that work for the media. >insert rolling eyes<
    DANGEROUS DOGS: I agree, there need to be laws in place, so dangerous dogs wear muzzles and a 12 year old should not handle dogs like that. I wonder what is going to happen to the dogowner, who´s dog mauled that poor 3year old child?
    PRICESMART: I had to laugh about that one.Yuh could have just thrown the $214 out the window.
    TINGS AH SEE IN DE PAPERS:
    If the woman who wrote the dictionary is not a Trini, I sure hope that at least a Trini proof read the dam thing.
    Summit of the Americas sounds like chaos if yuh live in the city.
    Lawd have mercy! The Public Notice is a riot!!!
    I allways like to see police men at work,lol.

    Wuzdescene, who said that President Castro is coming?? I haven't seen any news about that. The last I heard was Minister Gopee-Scoon's statement that the time was not right for Cuba to be invited. Has this changed?

    This post is great, as usual. I'm dying to see that latest Trini language dictionary. I know of two - "Cote ci Cote la" and "Trini Talk" but there could be more. Our language is a beautiful thing and that's just one of the features of your blog that I love. You capture it so well I can hear my home and for that I am always grateful.
    Blessings

            Bandi is right. While Cuba IS a member of the Organization of American States (OAS) it has been excluded, since 1962, from participation in multilateral meetings and the Summits because it is felt that its communist regime is not in keeping with OAS principles.

            I wrote specifically about Cuba in the second comment on
            this post . Here is the explanation from one USA Senior Administration Official:

            "The summit is about democracies, it's not anti anything. Cuba is not excluded from the Summit of the Americas process; Cuba has excluded itself by having a system of government of 42 years of arbitrary rule by one man, which basically fails even the most liberal definition and generous definition that we may be willing to give ourselves, whether you're from the left or the right, about what democracy is about."

            Stephen Kangal in
            this post explores why, unlike the T&T government's position as stated by Minister Gopee-Scoon, he thinks that the time IS right for talking to the Cubans. An interesting discussion follows in the comments.

              Bandi, I was addressing Wuzdescene's uncertainty about Cuba's unique membership status in the OAS. Thanks for the link. It is a detailed overview.

              I am hoping that you will continue giving us updates on the "Where is the Love?" movement? I'm not in Facebook so for me, your blog is where it's at.

              Your

    I figure out dat ting wid de landslip. If yuh live near de first one and follow de alternative route yuh okay. If yuh live near de second one den yuh follow dat alternate route. If yuh eh living by none ah dem and read about both landslips is you go be in trouble. I could see it now, people near de first heading by de second one tuh parse and people from by de second one heading by de first one tuh parse.

    I see dat story about de Trini dictionary online and ah pretty sure was de Express as I eh tink any udder one ah dem papers touch dat story.

    I too does like tuh see pictures of Trini police in action eh. I did love dat Caribbean Cops show seeing de TTPS in action. Dey really eh no different dan cops in de famous COPS show it have in de States except dem US cops does take less shit from people.

    De Summit of the Americas? Well if past instances of dis summit is ah guide PoS go be lock dong tighter dan when yuh get cork eating green guava, nuttin eh parsing. Allyuh doh worry about Obama. De US Secret Service go be in charge tuh make sure nuttin eh happen tuh Obama. De TTPS and its Caribbean helpers go have tuh worry about what all de udder Summits had to worry about - outside protesters. I suspect we go see de TTPS outfitted like we have never seen dem before. I done tell everybody I know tuh go Tobago, Grenada anyplace but PoS just tuh be sure dey safe.

        It sad dat it take dis Summit fuh more police tuh get bullet-proof vest. Is back when Guy was CoP and ah motorcycle cop get murdered in ah parlour by some thuglet dat Guy promise dat every office would have ah vest tuh wear. I does watch dem pictures of officers wid sub machine gun in dey hand and semi automatic pistol strap tuh dey thigh and wonder what kind of arseness is dat when dey eh have no bullet proof vest orn. Like dey hope any shots fired at dem go miss so dey could shoot back.
