THOSE LONGSTANDING AND DEEP TIES between Bajans and Guyanese seem to be getting closer than ever despite the criticisms levelled against the people from Gee Tee in recent years by some politicians.
This point is well borne out by the offspring – apparently a daughter – of a Bajan big wig and his sweet ting from Gee Tee. It is not clear whether the mutual attraction started while both of these gurus with visitor appeal were doing duty for their respective countries at one of the big shows in London or Berlin, or even New York, or whether it was a Caribbean hook-up.
But this newborn, whom some are referring to as the young lion-hearted princess, may soon be coming to Bim.
After all, granddad and granny want to see the progeny.
News of the arrival of the little one has raised many questions across Barbados which led to heated discussions this week at shops in Brittons Hill and Martindales Road as to whether this means the end of bachelorhood for the ever-smiling new daddy. The discussion is expected to get hotter this weekend when a group of people gather at another liming spot near Clapham and Wildey where the focus may very well be on whether the baby and mummy are in Bim.
It will be interesting to know what this little baby will be christened and who will be the Bajan godparents.
Dirty dumper
Residents of a farming community want a man who is doing a noble deed of looking after his mother to stop dumping her dirty diapers all over the community.
This man, who has his own garbage can in front of his house, refuses to use it for this purpose, but instead walks blocks down and dumps her dirty diapers in neighbours’ garbage cans.
They say that there are many diapers and since the days are so hot, that a strong scent emanates from the garbage and fumigates their homes.
Demons on the loose
What used to be a peaceful environment at this revenue earning department located in what was once known to be the controversial building is now being terrorised by two landing possessed demons.
The desire to be peaceful does not register with these two individuals who should be more professional and seek to strategise ways to increase productivity and revenue.
Rather, they seem to be hell bent on creating havoc and confrontation in the department.
One of the individuals secretly recorded the proceedings of a recent staff meeting and passed it on to the other individuals who absented themselves from the meeting, but later made it known to some staff members that the recording was in their possession.
These happenings have created a general feeling of mistrust and have impacted on staff morale which is at an all-time low.
The situation has been registered with higher authorities who should adjudicate the matter and have these individuals dealt with.
Angry women
All that glitters may not be silver as Little Hitler and his chosen chauffeur may soon discover.
It seems that the ladies of the land are not happy that after four years they are not being invited to celebrate on the shiny hill with the men.
While the men have been enjoying a smashing time, it seems that none of the women will be allowed to join in because the chauffeur has expressed his disgust with the women’s dance partners.
Ironically, the pieces of silver given to the champions are from the royal treasure chest which also get contributions from the same debarred women.
