This deportee crap is reaching new heights of ridiculousness, over in England there is a situation where a Bajan expat murdered his own child! Now, they want to send him back here, why should Barbados have to contend with such a sickness? Usually associated with environmental matters – this is another area where NIMBY, or […]

For those folk who missed the first Friday at the Limelight Cafe, it’s your own damn fault, I had a blast! That night I was a Magician’s assistant, couldn’t see one sh**e (tell you later, not what you might think) – but it was bare sport! Elliott Smith as you will recall is a qualified […]

I got this e-mail from one of my former colleagues at CBC and when I saw it I did not believe it, but I couldn’t get rid of it… Then eventually I did some research and was shocked to learn it is really true! This is an island that is in the southernmost part of […]

Cricket World Cup aside…Did you know Barbados competes with Jamaica and the Dominican Republic for the attention of Canadian women?

Dale Carnegie once said that the sweetest sound a person can hear is their own name, so Barry Chandler must be ticked off that the Trinidad Newsday got his name wrong! “From the Caribbean, Cupid and Ninja Dan from St Lucia, Barbadian Barry Callender and Baby Killer from Grenada have also lined up for the […]

If you recall, we had a short comment on the Barbados Music Awards, and even the Barbados Free Press was fascinated… There is much that many performers found less than acceptable – how can Rihanna qualify for a BMA when she is yet to record a full album here? Having moved discs overseas, how can […]

Well, if you go by the Nation Newspaper, the launch of the Errol Barrow statue was one grand affair – they dedicated several articles to it both in the paper and online…However, I really have to wonder if all the cement is dry yet?

Formerly the Fishermen’s Wharf, now the Limelight Caf? Barbados, it is a host of talent to come and an homage to talent of yesteryear. Brainchild of Alan Sheppard, former lead vocalist/keyboardist and main composer of Spice & Co, he was also the emcee that night. Steve George (of Zafran‘s Restaurant in Worthing fame) handles the […]

Not sure where this originated but a former CBC colleague sent me this and I thought it is a moment of beauty in a Barbados too frenetic (it also reminds me of the salmon-tot retriever Lady who lives with me, when she met Tudie the kitten, she got on as if he was her puppy, […]

I am aware Barbados has an outlet for Horn & Abbot, the parent company of the popular Trivial Pursuit; I was NOT aware that we were a base office for offshore online bingo… “Parlay has an eight year proven track record built on the success of our clients: In 2005, more than 2.8 million players […]

Miguel Drayton is one happy fellow, his mockumentary “From Barbados With Love” (the pic got a lot of Aussie sponsorship) is still getting a buzz – is it that far off before a full run at the local cinemas? It seems the film has done local singer Magnet Man as well… He had a chance […]

Thanks to Chum FM, I got to see and hear Bryan Adams live in Barbados two years ago at Harbour Lights (which some folk refer to as Harbor Whites for the prevalent nature of the attendees), his grand performance has many memories I will treasure forever!

According to Allen Stanford‘s Sun St. Kitts & Nevis – “[The] head of [Basseterre’s] Commission of Inquiry, Barbadian Charles Blades, will decide if the police action posed a threat to (St Kitts‘) national security.” It seemed suspicious to many over in Basseterre that shortly before their 23rd anniversary of Independence celebrations last year, that a […]

The Barbados Music Awards is a way overdue idea, HOWEVER, the Arturo Tappin fiasco of giving then taking back a trophy has opened many worms out of the proverbial can… Having Owen Arthur as a patron should not shield a body from crap if it is feces they doing in public and trying to sell […]

You may recall when a 69 year old lady from England died after suffering a heart attack while being taken to hospital by taxi after falling ill at Grantley Adams International Airport here, the reason they tried to use a taxi was due to local ambulances moving slower than snails in a deep freeze upside […]
