The Manicou Report

Aparently Winston Dookeran’s new party the Congress Of the People has been undertaking a massive membership drive since launching on September 10th and member Sadiq Baksh now reports that the party has over 4,000 members. Now you know for all that ol’ talk Panday, KPB and Warner going on with about good riddance and whatever else, they have to be at least a little scared. Why on earth would Ramesh be asking Dooks to form a coalition if they weren’t? All the time they talking about they glad the man gone, now they asking for coalition? Mind you, all the time they saying how COP wouldn’t win a seat and Dooks wouldn’t even keep his own. And now Ramesh coming with “is for Dookeran benefit”. But I never see more.

And guess who also on board COP? None other than Nicole Dyer? Remember her? In case you forgot, she was T&T’s most lambasted beauty queen whose only crime was to represent T&T in T&T the year after Wendy Fitzwilliam won the crown. But I’m happy for her. By the way I found this site while looking for a picture of Nicole. It has a great list (although incomplete) of beauty queens that have represented T&T since the 70’s. Some of them I am too young to have known and others still I had completely forgotten about till I saw their pictures there.
