Tantie Talk
Fus' to begin, I bong to mus arks allyuh once more to make sure yuh keep yuh
anti-virus sorfwares updated...it seem dat a whole setta people who getting
Trinidiary doh have any anti-virus sorfware or dey ent update it since it
was install de fus time! Fuh de last week or so I getting one setta
funny-curious email wid all kinda people business expose - no, is not dat
kinda business dat expose, is dey business an' dey personal email dat getting
copy from 'pon dey computer an' getting broadcast to de world, or at least de
people who email address dey have in dey address book. Check fuh de updates
at de website, but yuh shouldn' even have to do dat because de sorfware does
have ah automagic update thingy yuh could set to wuk by itself, so yuh doh
have to try an' remember to check it. An' if yuh doh have any kinda anti-virus
sorfware, yuh could always check Opus (http://www.opus.co.tt/spamkiller.htm),
because dey having a special dat not only giving yuh anti-virus sorfware, but
yuh getting anti-SPAM sorfware too.
De nex ting, is how come I open de papers dis morning (Tuesday) an' seeing
one setta picture of helicopter in de air dropping water on a statue to bless
it? Doh get me wrong, I ent have no problem wid de Ashram or de statue
itself, what I want to know is how come it suddenly have not only *WORKING* Bambi
Buckets, but helicopters to use dem?! Where de #%*$! dey was over de las'
2-3 months when we hillsides was burnin' up? All day an' night acres of
precious vegetation was burnin' free sheet, de onliest time yuh seeing any
activity to out dem is if it have a road nearby dat de fire engine could
drive up an' if de hoses was long enough. Again, I doh have no problem wid
dem using it to consecrate de murti, but if dat is all dey go use it for,
I seriously feel de Canadian Gov't should jes take back de damn tings.
But, yuh know what is de worse ting 'bout de whole mess? Is dat it been
going on like dis for more than 12 years! If yuh feel ah lie, go read 'bout
it fuh yuhself in de Parliamentary records:
http://www.ttparliament.org/hansard/House/1991/hh910628.pdf
Poor Mac Copeland retire from de Fire Service, dead and gone...an' to dis
day de Bambi Buckets dat he help bring to T&T ent get use to out one single
solitary bushfire...I hoping somebody could prove mih wrong, but I ent
lorsin' no sleep waiting on dat.
But say what...we like it so, God is a Trini, an' all we studying is how,
when an' where we go fete dong de place during de holiweek dat coming up.

BACKCHAT: Issue 21
Your mail is great. I love to get it, I am able to keep up with all the
events around T&T all the time. I have to say that I agree with you that we all
arrived in Trinidad. I actually came over from England as the wife of a Trini
quite a few years ago. I think though, that if one section of our country
still celebrates its arrival here that this should not be seen as a threat to
Trinidadianess. Trinis make their mark here nd everywhere else in the
world. I think that it is admirable that people can still hold on to thier wonderful
and rich culture after all these years and be proud of it and still be
Trinidadians to the bone.

Tantie , well done I commend you on this article on these people who
apparently are running our country more than our government. Aside from these poor
guys being victimised on entering the US a lot of Trinis with isalamic names and
backgrounds are being denied Visas and also being victimised by customs and immigration
in the States. And yet we allow these people to live free, eat and drink and some
of us worship them. As a businessman I am appalled and also scared that I have not
travelled to the US in over a year although I have suppliers there and
contribute to the US economy by purchasing goods and services. Maybe I should look
for another source because if my People aren't good enough for the US and they get this
treatment well maybe my MONEY isn't either.
//T&T businessman
Thank you so very much. It is always good to be able to take a few minutes
to read and reflect and think of good days of Trini. I miss the place and all that
goes with it. Take care and keep up the good news so we so far away can learn and
grow while away.

Had to let you know you are appreciated. I am often in charge of a few
pre/early primary school children and "at ends" as to how to keep them occupied. Thanks for
many of your suggestions. Keep up the good work.

London calling. My Back Chat concerns stories in the net news with regard
to Mr. Panday saying that whilst in power there were 89 deaths in a year and his
prediction of 200 deaths this year under the PNM. Can Mr Panday now predict death? Did he
in his time, have more control over de death-rate than he had over de Airport over spend
and de road paving Carlos? When de taxpayers $52 million went missing? And dey say,
he say, he dint notice nutting? If Mr Panday can now predict death, de man has missed his
calling. He could make a lot more that $10 million doing some soothsaying. When I fly
into Piarco, yuh gyul wearing a cork hat because ah hear de ceiling tiles fallin.

Just a big up to mi girl Faye at the Ms. Universe pageant held recently.
The girl looked good and I was representing mi country because everytime she come out ah
was bawling and screaming. I did not fancy the evening dress too much. I found it was a
bit too much. In my opinion she should have made it to the top five. I guess they did
not take points out for when Ms.South Africa nearly fall on she face on when Ms.Canada made
a stumble. Any ways, Trinidad should be proud of Faye because she did a really good job.
