pro tip:

shopping around for same test at different labs can result in big cost savings. we have plenty labs around too, so don't just jump for the first one you think about. call around

private healthcare means $$$$ if you just blindly trust. u gotta shop around

Licks for UNC as Kaiso Showkase opens

PICONG and political commentary dominated the opening night of Kaiso Showkase calypso tent at Palms Club, San Fernando on Friday night, with the usual bashing for the opposition and praise for the ruling party.

The lone UNC alderman Colin Lezama on the San Fernando City Corporation, sat in silence, with a smile and sometimes a smirk, among his cheering PNM colleagues who raised their hands and applauded as the calypsonians pounded his party and leader.

Dressed in yellow dress and shoes, the UNC’s party colour, Alicia Richards got the most encores for her satire called De Crush, in which she explored the “real relationship” between Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar and former AG Faris Al-Rawi.

There was raucous laughter from the time the diminutive and plump calypsonian hit the stage, telling the story of the "lady from Siparia" who sat opposite Faris when he was AG, always on his case blaming him for every situation in the country.

Richards, intimating she was really masquerading a crush, batted her eye lashes as she sang, “Everything is Faris, Faris, Faris, Ah wonder how Gregory does feel,” – a reference to Persad-Bissessar's husband.

Rolling out new verses as she was called back, she suggested that having “finished with Faris she now attack Foster, he name she began to slander, saying he is a land grabber, madam Siparia crying Foster, Foster, how Gregory does feel,” ending with “Rowley, Rowley, Rowley," – adding government minister Foster Cummings and the Prime Minister to song.

Enjoying multiple encores also was Tameika Darius for stage presence, in costume as an African queen, and a song which dealt with the name-calling spat between government minister Camille Robinson-Regis over Persad-Bissessar’s Indian middle name and Persad-Bissessar's comeback about her "slave" name.

As a woman of African descent, Darius said she was insulted by the reference, as she had no choice in choosing a name, saying that was no "jahaji bai" as Brother Marvin once sang, but Jahaji Bash – the title of her 2023 contribution.

The trend continued with Queen Victoria (Victoria Cooper Rahim), dressed in a red one-piece, who referred to the Prime Minister as a “hard working man” congratulating him for the gas deal with Venezuela before delving into her song Good Advice.

And they expect Indians to support kaiso tents

No. They ban anyone who sings about the PNM. Lady Gypsy was told she can't sing political cemetery. Their flagmen could sing about KPB and the UNC but if you sing about Pee N M you in the dog house. Donkey logic from a bunch of jacka$$es

All da loud bass shaking up a placenta + fetus good for a developing human?

Light exercise is one thing, but this might be extreme

[Monk BANzai]

So question. Has Trinidad and Tobago received a proper forward/reboot from the 2023 festivities? Quality of the experience has improved overall? We back on the Map as the top three in the world?

2024 looking like we gonna retake the title over the foreign/regional experiences?

Played Joovay. Had a time. Smallies of all sizes under mud, oil and paint is life!

[pugboy]

them reds not easy
high profile men does take hook line and sinker

[ruffneck_12]

I hearing reports from a lot of different bands that their experiences were sub par for the tuesday parades, and even some fetes.

They stepped up their game with respect to the stage graphics, but
-a LOT of costumes weren't delivered on time
-drinks trucks ran out of drinks
-People got food poisoning from the provided food
-people complaining that the all inclusive fetes had lack luster food as well.

In some ways we improved, in more ways we were just kinda rusty after two years of lockdowns so we forgot how to do the basic stuff like have rum, and refrigerate food

These are the consequences of unnecessary spending and you Trinis fall for it every time.

Dimanche Gras was pretty dissapointing ..almost no one held a tune.

Highest murder rate and not a mention...no admonishment from the bards...and for 800k...waste of money...time to rethink that part of the 'Carnival'.

The Canboulay re-enactment should be given that space and funding. Really appreciated the effort put in.

[cornfused]

Could the NCC or Ministry of Tourism do some quantitative analysis and tell us the good people of Trinidad and Tobago how much was earned form the expenditure from Carnival. If it is discovered that there is minimal return, then the entire question of the economic model of Carnival needs to be resigned.

[pugboy]

how much was earned by who ?
the private bandleaders, fete promoters ?
the hotels ?
the soca artistes ?

somehow most of that information might not be so forthcoming

so far we know that it is a total waste of taxpayers money putting up them stands to be empty

Close to 300 million was spent.....what returns, every year it is dead money spending

Once a few of these entities use some of their profits to make campaign contributions or other political donations, then it was worth the investment for the government. This waste of taxpayers' money will continue no matter which party in power.


The added bonus of all these fetes and other events where tickets are paid for with cash is that it's a perfect opportunity for laundering money of questionable origin. Marty from ozark would love it here.

Something needs to be done about these costumes. Always have to be breaksin so that you don't get scraped or lose an eye. Wine on a thing with what I can only describe as a fackin dildo on the back of her head. Every time she turn left to right I have to pull back my face so as not to get hit.
Also I've only played mas twice and this year was worse by far. It's more of a posing thing than a time to let loose now

[Chimera]
