SOME VERY TALENTED artists are demanding to know where the fruits of their hard labour have gone.
Word reaching Pudding & Souse is that the monies which they won during the prestigious festival where they showcased their creative arts has gone missing.
This is not the first time that the money they earned has disappeared.
A few years ago several of their treasured pieces even went missing too.
The problem is that these artists will have to wait for the authorities where they are based to carry out an investigation. Until then, their hands are virtually tied.
We only hope that the investigation does not turn out to be a case of “no blame, no lockup”.
Con man on the prowl
THERE IS A SOFT-SPOKEN, sweet-talking man working on the road surrounding a St Michael institution who is targeting women in the area.
He can be seen stalking women from as early as 8 a.m. when they are on their way to work or running errands and he is back again at 5:30 p.m., monitoring who gets off the bus.
He has approached the maids and the kitchen staff who work nearby, women going to the beach, those heading to town or the supermarkets.
His pick-up line is always “Good morning! How are you doing? Have a nice day!” And when he established a friendship with the women he constantly tells them how much he loves them.
A few of the women who have fallen for his charm have ended up being on the losing end.
He gets them to give him substantial sums of money or expensive jewellery.
Recently, one of his victims snatched her gold chain from around his neck when she found out that she had been played.
Women are being asked to be careful of this seemingly gentle man. He is nothing but a trickster.
Dose of own medicine
PEOPLE?LIVING in a closely knit district are laughing and talking about one of their neighbours who has a reputation for sexual liaisons with other men, even though she is married.
She seems to think there is nothing wrong with what she does because she gets paid at the end of the job and works outside the box.
Her husband, who has a funny nickname, usually has to wait for his turn and by that time she is obviously too tired, even to talk to him.
It seems that she is a master of what she does since her regular customers include a water works man, a shopkeeper and a very good male friend.
Well, recently she has also been cussing out her best friend after finding out that while she was “wukking”, the lady in question was having a good time sleeping with her husband.
But her neighbours want her to know that she should stop harassing her sexy, brown-skin friend because she should have realized that her husband is a good man and short men need love too.
She’s a trickster
NEIGHBOURS?FROM
A?district with a name that denotes certain activities occur there want to know why a foreign woman who recently moved there cannot pay her rent, light and water bills, but has money to pay for the private care of her tenth child.
They also want to know why she can continue to trick the shopkeeper man she has by putting another child on him when everyone heard the Rastaman cuss her out and tell her that the child was his.
Now the neighbours are waiting to see which one of the men her newborn baby will resemble.
