ARE WE WITNESSING the biggest selling effort ever in Barbados to convince people to buy into something that they are clearly not sold on?
That’s the question some ardent Cou Cou lovers are asking after the latest blitz by a certain high-profile fellow who is now acting more like a market vendor than anything else.
So determined is this vendor that he put paid to the big-up who tried to engage him on the matter.
He even told this individual that if circumstances were different they may even have been singing the same tune.
But a few people are wary of this vendor, who has been shouting from every vantage point that not only are his wares the best thing since sliced bread, but is the only thing happening that could benefit every Bajan.
One man mused that this vendor is behaving like a fisherman who never admits his fish have a smell, or a hawker who always says the fruits in her tray are the best buy in the market though some look a little soft.
Another man suggests that this vendor should not only say how much people will benefit from buying what he’s selling, but should also reveal how much commission he is going to get by securing the sale.
Ghosts and shadows
A TOP POLITICO seems to be seeing ghosts and shadows, say insiders familiar with the goings on in one of our political parties.
But unlike the white shadows of the Don Blackman era, this man’s ghosts and shadows apparently come from among his colleagues.
They say that this man gets bent out of shape whenever he hears certain people in his own party speak on various matters. Apparently, he considers them a threat to his dominance, so when their voices are heard, he is not too happy.
This man, who regards himself as being in tune with the people, seems not to realize that he can only retain his popularity by actually interacting more with ordinary people. And that means he has to lose the clique of individuals surrounding him and carrying out his every wish.
Back to small ride
“WHEN YOU GO BLACK, you don’t turn back,” the saying goes.
Likewise, when you get accustomed to driving a big ride, you don’t ever settle for the basic vehicle any more.
But for a certain big boy this is not the case. He has gone from travelling in the lap of luxury to an everyday machine.
No one knows for sure why this man has shed his big ride, though some are suggesting his relinquishing of it may not have been a voluntary act.
If that is the reason, it would seem the Chris Sinckler plan is working against everybody.
Licking his wounds
A CERTAIN PERSON is licking his wounds over the money he lost trying to get his relative close to him.
Those in the know say that this vertically-challenged individual, who punches way above his weight, given his financial prowess, was trying to build a group of loyal supporters who would propel him up the political ladder when the time came.
His idea was to secure his relative in a somewhat sure spot and, with the support he already has, place himself at the forefront for any goodies when the fatted calf is slain.
But it all backfired when a man who can’t even move the dead with his personality upset his plans.
When last seen, this man was, like the cartoon character Brain, whom he resembles, conjuring up another plan to conquer the world.
