TANTIE TALK:

I doh unnerstan dis thing at all...is why dem people wicked so? Jes when Tantie did feel I coulda end off de year in a nice mood (after I did recharge de batteries in Tobago) is one setta bacchanal after de other dat bussing all over de place...dey jes doh want mih to relax at all!

De NWRHA ting reach to de Courthouse, and yuh know where it have smoke yuh go find fire...it go be real interesting to hear who did and didn' do and whey it is de money really went, because from since de time of de Rice Ratchifee people want to know who it is REALLY responsible fuh de setta bad-spending of we money wid precious little to show fuh it. We cyan't forget how much more de airport cost than it was suppose to, and how little value it seem to be when yuh compare it to de other airport we money did build - in Barbados. It was suppose to have 'Water For All' before de end of 2000...we nearly finish 2001 and WASA not only cyant deliver 'Water For All', but doh have water for dey arredy existing customers! De only thing we seem to still have in abundance is plenty bureaucracy, never mind dat de latest casualty in de Faeces Fan Fest was brought into de Cabinet in order to 'fast track' things. It looking more and more like de onliest thing dat get fast track was a setta contract for he family business.

And speaking of family business, Tantie notice like things did get patch up in de 'household' up in La Fantasie...is only a few montha ago dat all hell was breaking loose when de mark buss dat de daughter was frenning wid de staff. But suddenly dis past weekend when questions was being asked about why $.6M get spend on two brand new Benz, Pappa didn' even have time to get one hair outta place answering before de selfsame 'cavalier' staffer was in de news again...this time as the White Knight coming to the rescue saying it was he who did buy the cars. What a ting...nex ting yuh know he might be riding off into de sunset with the princess.
