Trinidad at a glance 5
Trinidad at a glance – numero cinco.
 |
- In season:
- Oranges and Sapodillas (this one’s for you Karabana). Mangoes are begining to appear.
- Hot Songs:
- A callaloo of dying soca tunes. It’s hard to pinpoint what’s really hot.
- Weather:
- Cool night. Days are getting hotter. It is, after all, the dry season.
CJ Sat Sharma - Hot topic:
- Luckily for Chief Justices, finding court clothes is not an issue. Ours is back in court. Also Papa Patos resumes impeachment proceedings against him.
- In the Air:
- The Cricket World Cup. Is the Caribbean ready? Are the West Indies ready? Should the minnows (i.e. the non-test-playing teams like Canada and Bermuda) be allowed to play in the CWC with the big boys?
- Name of New Virus going around:
- Jumbie – of course. Please don’t jumbie me.
(Photo from the Newsday) - New Drug Bust:
- Someone tried to smuggle $5M worth of cocaine into Trinidad by hiding it inside caraili pods. There’s no word on the value or fate of the nasty caraili – two birds with one stone in my opinion.
- Sports:
- The Trinidad & Tobago cricket team, led by captain Darren Ganga won back-to-back Carib Beer Series trophies. On the heals of winning West Indies Player of the Year, you think the boy would be a shoo-in for the World Cup squad. Not so.

How yuh take so long to post today boy? Lol. Well, remember what I told you before about blogging? The other day I realised that someone searched for Caribbean Bottlers, and guess what were two of the top searches? Your post about deceptive advertising, and my post about your post. Social media is taking over the Caribbean, slowly but surely. Actually, I just wrote an article about it. Will let you know when it comes out.

lol, I like how Caribbean Bottlers themselves weren’t in the top 2 even though I doubt they have a site. Yeah, let me know when you write it!
