Seems that the cops have hit a snag in the investigation of one of their own.
Apparently they have evidence that a certain cop was involved in a serious crime but have been unable to charge him. Instead they are pressuring the man to resign and go home without punishment.
The smart cop, however, has gone on sick leave, lawyered up and is refusing to resign.
His colleagues are saying that he should be charged because of his arrogance.
Singing the blues
Members of a prominent gospel choir are not at all satisfied with the attitude of their new director.
They have been singing the blues since the well known female director came on board displaying a holier than thou attitude.
Apparently, members have been dropping out of the group because of the arrogant and bossy attitude of this woman. It has become so bad that the successful choir is wondering if there will be a silver lining at the end of this cloudy day.
But it seems that the choir members are not exaggerating. Over at the director’s church, her friends and colleagues are also complaining about her attitude and the situation has become more apparent now that she is on holiday.
Apparently, a young man has taken over her duties and he has so impressed the members that people are once again making a joyous noise.
Church members are planning to petition their leaders to replace this uncouth director as soon as possible.
Out of control
Teachers at a secondary school are pulling their hair out trying to deal with a group of undisciplined students.
P&S understands that almost every day cops are summoned to the school because of students fighting, bringing weapons to the school and even threatening teachers.
Many of the staff are counting their lucky stars that the police station is actually a stone’s throw away but they want to know why authorities at the Ministry of Education are not doing anything about the school’s declining reputation especially since it now has more students imprisoned at the correctional institutions than any other school in Barbados.
Ninja ‘in the house’
It could only be a sign of the times when a well known homeless street character takes up residence outside of Parliament.
“Ninja Man”, who usually has a resting spot outside the Treasury Building, has apparently moved himself and his few worldly possessions, including his baby pram, outside of parliament.
Earlier this week he gave staff a scare when he ran into the yard wearing nothing but his trademark dirty pamper.
Unfortunately, none of the Government ministers were around but people are waiting to see if he will be there next Tuesday when Parliament resumes after its long summer break.
