TNN 49
Hello folks, sorry about de lateness, but is de season… is de season..! (Deep voice..) Dis is TNN…. Jump! Jump! Jump an’ break awayyyyyy! (background music)…..
FIRE, FIRE, IN MEH WIRE, WIRE......!
Ah remember when Calypso Rose did sing dat years ago… well, ah live tuh see it come true.. at least in ah kinda way.
De firs’ fulfillment of prohphecy was las’ week, when PM Manday tell Danny “Winer Boy” Singh dat if he eh clear out de criminals from the URP program, he go fire him. Well “Jook Waist” Sing become ah arsonist… he fire left, right an’ centre.. about 4 man in high position lose dey wuk already…
Long time now people complainin’ ‘bout de rufian an’ dem in de road gangs, but Danny did say dat de program workin’ well, an’ Manday say dat was he bes’ Minister.. so if he is de bes’ an’ yuh threatenin’ tuh fire him, what dat say about de rest ah dem….?
An’ consider.. if yuh did know dem fellas was trouble, why yuh didn’t fire dem before… now he even establish hotline for people tuh call if dey have information about people who hijacking de program… but ah taught he was de Minister in charge, he shoulda be keepin’ tabs on dat, not so….?
De corruption in dat program ridiculous.. "ghost gangs" wey people eh workin’ an’ get pay.. work done in one region by people from ah nex’ region, one corporation getting’ charge for work done in ah nex’ jusrisdiction… Carnival in truth… an’ every gov’t usin’ de poor people who need ah “10 days” tuh get dey vote an’ encouragin’ laziness..
I have meh own ideas about what URP should be doin’, but I eh getting’ involve in all dat bacchanal on dis TNN.. suffice it tuh say, dey should take dat program away from government an’ give ah private management company tuh run it.. Dat way, dey go make sure people getting’ paid for work dey do, all dem “ghosts” go disappear, yuh will be able tuh get proper accountin’, people who is TRINIBAGONIANS go get first preference…. but nah, gov’ts doh want efficiency, dey want vote….!
De nex setta fire happen wit we football team…de fellas playin’ in Gold Cup and dey lose de semi final match.. well under de influence of Austin “Jack of all trades” Warner, dey fire coach an’ 3 players includin’ de captain..
An’ yuh know de team dat beat we win de finals… teams better dan we (Mexico) eh go t’rough either.. ah mean de fellas play hard, eh.. one time it look like we was comin’ home early, dem fellas rally and beat ah team an’ save we pride.. de whole country fell soooooo good!
Now
dey eh get t’rough, fire dem… all ah dem! Toute bagai!
An’ yuh expeck dem tuh have patriotic love, an’ devote dey life tuh
Trinidad football…? Yuh dam lie, though! As yuh make yuh
bed, yuh go lie, or sleep on de floor
as de case might be! Now we odder star players say de ent want tuh play in
de World Cup qualifier dis weekend (yes, we fire coach an’ 3 players one week
BEFORE ah World Cup qualifier…!)
look trouble….. cuttin’ off yuh nose an’ spoilin’ yuh face…
Obviously
somebody forget when yuh light fire, t'ings does burn dong!
PRINCE COMES AND PRINCE GOES.....
Well , ah suppose alyuh know Prince Charles (Charlie) was here las’ week an’ he get ah little tour of de place an’ t’ing… it come off good an’ he make ah good impression, de people like him an’ all dat, but as soon as he leave Brian Charles (is ah coincidence? De Prince of Port of Spain….) Lara leave as captain of de West Indies team…. like he take he cue from Charlo….?!
Oh gaaaaddd! Look, if yuh see commentary, if yuh hear ole talk… how dey call him tuh ah meetin’ an’ cricket camp an’ he go miss he Carnival after he done pay for he costume an’ was plannin’ fete by he house Carnival Sunday, so he decide tuh show dem ah form… how he get tired of criticism.. how he didn’t have enough freedom wit’ de team…. an’ since dey ent appoint Richards as coach, he vex….
Hear nah, all de man say was dat he steppin’ down because de team eh succeeding under him, an’ he want tuh devote more time to he battin’ (or lack thereof)….. Tendulkar do de same t’ing, no problem…life goes on.. Ah West Indian do it is philosophy evermore…whatever reason, jus’ proceed nah…who we go put?
One setta wailin’ an’ knashing of teeth.. jus’ put de man as vice captain an’ he could advise de captain, if yuh t’ink nobody else could do de job as well as he…he simply say he didn’t want de captaincy….. why everyt’ing have tuh be ah regional crisis….? People life so borin’?
Focus on beatin’ de nex’ team dat comin’ here (Zimbabwe), yuh cricketin’ strategies etc… Look nah man, if yuh team cyah function wit’out one man (an’ he eh even leavin’ de team yuh know…), is bes’ dey go an’ pull Seine in Maracas (people wouldn’t have tuh pay tuh see dat)…. or play LOTTO…. at least wit de second one dey have ah chance of winnin’….!
GIVE MIH YUH AUTOGRAPH NAH....
An’ dis is de las’ time ah talkin’ ‘bout dis nonsense…..! Manday and Rob-we again lockin’ horns again (ah was goin’ tuh say like 2 bull, but dey lookin’ more like some dry all cyah-get-grass ramgoat….!)..
Remember all de problems wit’ de Senators an’ all de ringmarole before Robbie finally sign de t’ing...? Well now Manday want tuh start he Comission of Inquiry into de Judicial System, but Rob-we have tuh authorise de Commission, an’ he say he goin’ an’ seek legal advice.. so stay dey an’ grind’ corn till ah ready…!
Manday
vex… AG (Ramesh “Twist Mouth”
Maharaj ) vex too… Ah feel when yuh lie too much yuh mout’ does twist..
because yuh cyah talk straight! Seems also dat de Chairman of de
Commission dey want tuh set up is Ramesh fren’ so people worryin’ ‘bout
objectivity…an’ de las’ investiquirin’ de had (which was sanctioned by
the CJ an’ Law Association) say dat de government tryin’ tuh interfere too
much…. Now if de CJ an’ de president of
de Law Association doh agree, but de find ah suitable person to do de
inquiry, maybe de report might be objective…wha’ yuh t’ink..? But
“Twist Mouth” say it incomplete an’ bias….. leh he fren come an’ chair
ah Commission instead… All de time de inquiry goin’ on, no comment
(dey even talk to he!).... as soon as dey say gov’t tryin’ tuh influence de
Judiciary, it eh good….!
What ah sad state of affairs…. every group of people dat have ah problem does go to dey Commission (Teaching, Public service, Police etc..) or call conference… but dem lawyers an’ judges different… too dam different if dey ask me!… if Manday cyah do dis internally, leh de money for de Inquiry come from de government people salary… we go see how necessary it is den…! Too much little boy doin’ man work…!
CARNIVAL
COME AGAIN....
Boy, ah geh ketch out.. up tuh now I eh reach ah tent, but ah hustlin’…dis is de las’ week, yuh know.. Ah watch de semi final in South though…some good kaisos man…. coulda do wit’ some more musical variation ah fin’ though….
In Panaorama Exodus , Renegades , Phase Two and Cordettes showin’ some early power, leh we see if dey have stayin’ power…. firestciks blazin’… savannah burni’ dong… oh shucks, ah forget dey pave it.. it cyah burn ….. sorry!

Monarch , to help people sing fast music but with good lyrics…nice move man…dem
school children was hot…ah gettin’ ah better feelin’ ‘bout de culture
