WHAT WE waiting for, people, more innocent people to die pun de roads before we bring laws banning cellphone use while driving?
A survey in the United States show that women does talk the most on the cellphone and that teenage girls does do the most texting, while driving, wunnah surprise?
Women does control the telephone at home, so why they needed a study to tell them what we already know, to wit that it is females who got the most to say pun the telephones.
But driving and texting, pure madness, driving and reading texts, madness again. Time fuh stiff fines, look at the seatbelt law, see how fast we buckle up, it had penalties. So passing the law is one thing, enforcing is another.
And this past couple of weeks the politics hot like a Trini Paramin pepper sauce and the talk is bout contracts. Who had one, who didn’t, who get fired and who should be fired, it is only a foolish Vendor who would tread pun these matters, but here goes.
I used to hear that a contract did not have to be written and that as long as there was proof that the two parties had entered into some type of arrangement and both were honouring the oral terms, a contract existed. So a fella and a lady meet and come to some terms and enter a relationship and live happily for more than five years, then things go wrong, the contract get breach and it lead to breakup, that breakup then leads to settlement which end up before the courts.
Contract definitely existed here in a marriage before the priest, the contract is signed and witnessed and has no end date, till death do us part, that sound like a sentence and everybody does be clapping and singing and then they come and eat you out and put you in big debt at the start of the sentence.
It is like attending yuh own wake, and if you try to shorten the sentence, house gone, car gone, bank account gone, in-laws gone, friends gone. Those contracts are iron clad and you cannot get out of them easily and not without high price lawyers.
It is like witnessing the reading of yuh will and the carving up of yuh assets while yuh still breathing. Soon if you ain’t careful even yuh children don’t speak to yuh. That is a contract! The lawyers don’t come to the signing of the contract, the wedding, but burying you alive, the lawyers there conducting matters!
A whole new highway get build bout here and there was talk that there was no contract, Kensington Oval get rebuild and the ICC World Cup Final was here in 07 and still there was talk about no contract.
These days the talk bout the QEH and the doctors and contracts and the big one of course is bout houses and housing and contracts. And the big guns can’t seem to agree on whether there is or was a contract to build houses. If them can’t agree then how de hell you and I would know if a contract did or did not exist? And why is this contract so important?
So before you ask a fella to cut the lawn, trim the tree, water the garden, get a contract; before you take a young lady out on a date make sure you understand the terms of the contract; if you borrow an bench, a tin of milk, a hoe, a lawnmower from a neighbour, make sure you know the terms of the contract lest it brek up friends, because iffing you bring it back damage, somehow new terms emerge in the contract.
There are some things you should never ever borrow, the neighbour wife or husband cause contract or no contract, iffing there is contact, that will lead to impact, which could lead to mishap!
I Market Vendor gone fuh now, you have a blessed and a wonderful day, yuh hear!
