PUBLIC HOLIDAY - Monday 13th AUGUST 2012

[sliderz1]

impromptu holiday for 2nd olympic gold = 3rd world?
f*q allyuh

[Sky]

Proof that Trinidad and Tobago will always be a Third World country. And all in light of the major disaster zone? Really, Kamla? Not even a full business day for affected victims to obtain needed supplies, water, food and more crew members to be present to effectively clean up the areas damaged by flooding?

Trinidad and Tobago is a complete hot mess! My heart also goes out to the self-employed who do not get paid even on the established public holidays in the country. This just means you will have to hustle harder to make out for lost earnings this week.

Enjoy your laziness, Trinidad and Tobago!

x2

Have people who go to work, try to not do anything for the entire day now they celebrating another holiday.

third world forever

Well The Avenue will be crowded tonight. Money will be spent on alco, food and sex. Folks already dollzing up to head out for fete and celebrations while many of their fellow citizens are without electricity trying to find a place to shower and a bed to sleep on in Diego and surrounding communities.

As for tomorrow, folks will be too busy recovering from their drunken stupor to lend a helping hand and utilize the day off to help a victim.

But hey, you're celebrating country tomorrow and proud to be a Trini.

You suck for taking a shot at the country, but you're right.

[stev]

[Bizzare]

was looking forward to new position tomorrow
a lot of employees are happy for this though. Don't give them wrong

NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

PUBLIC HOLIDAY.

Is it one and the same??

yes they are the same

"A public holiday, national holiday or legal holiday is a holiday generally established by law and is usually a non-working day during the year."

THIS IS FORKING TRINIDAD. I don't forking get why y'all must compare everything here to outside countries. We haven't seen a gold medal in forking 36 yrs. Is it the same for the US. We are a lot smaller than the US with a smaller economy. We do not produce athletes on the level the US does. YES , a gold medal means a lot more to us obviously
You have to be brainless to compare us to the US when it come to the Olympics.

This holiday has thrown me back on what was to be accomplished this week in the workplace. But it is one day, it's not gonna hurt so much to complain about it. How often do we get a holdiday declared like this. Those employed on a flat salary basis are very happy.


I know very well all of y'all complaining in here home jumping up with yuh tanty and celebrating the day off tomorrow with the exception of AP - she doesn't even live here don't see how her input is valid. She is not affected by this like any of us are so I dunno if her views are even true to herself

woop de doo , yuh is still a kant

[S_2NR]

Trinidad and Tobago compares itself to the USA for everything else...why not also the Olympics? As much as you try to distance yourself from the Yanks, the country and your countrymen continues to try and model itself to Uncle Sam. Trinidad, like so many other Caribbean islands draws its Westernized culture from USA culture. So your rant is nonsensical.

Not everyone is employed by the government or the private sector. More importantly, the issue isn't about a holiday being declared but the TIMING of its declaration. Complete lack of discernment by the government given the recent flooding disaster.

I do not have to reside in Trinidad and Tobago to call it like I see it: COMPLETE BOBOL.

You win the fuggin medal? No! What do you need a national holiday to celebrate?

Recognise the athletes' accomplishments through some other means, say, financial. I am sure that whatever financial contribution the Government gives pales in comparison to what expenses the athletes actually incur. You could even have a parade for them along the east-west corridor on a Saturday and a parade along the south version of the east-west corridor on the following Sunday.

The mother of one of the female runners (not the one who messed up the baton) works in the same company that I work for. I actually talk to her about her daughter's progress and she tells me about all the expenses that her daughter has to cover for her training. Most of the money is gained through private donations and scholarships, not from the Government.

Actually tomorrow may very well cost me very well into the tens of thousands of dollars in added downtime and no income to offset the downtime.

Id really rather make than spend $50,000.

[Stephon.]

yikes!

[Bizzare]

AP, you are not here so you are not affected the way locals are. Yes, u may use logic to express your views as any outsider would and they themselves would hold the same views as yours, but unlike TRINIDADIANS LIVING IN TRINIDAD Keshorn's success did not have the same impact on u as it did to us.... even though u feel otherwise. You are not in a position to comment on this topic, sorry.

third world forever

Well The Avenue will be crowded tonight. Money will be spent on alco, food and sex. Folks already dollzing up to head out for fete and celebrations while many of their fellow citizens are without electricity trying to find a place to shower and a bed to sleep on in Diego and surrounding communities.

As for tomorrow, folks will be too busy recovering from their drunken stupor to lend a helping hand and utilize the day off to help a victim.

But hey, you're celebrating country tomorrow and proud to be a Trini.

and when other parts of the country were under flood waters in the past where were the people from the west..............

deal with it

most of that flooding was caused by the same people building housing on the hills without a care for town and country approval it was bound to happen sooner or later
while people have suffered losses its nothing compared to what has happened in the past the people as you say "south of the lighthouse"

so dont try to dramatise a situation that many other parts of the country are acustom to without the help and media support that the west is getting

[Bizzare]

Some of you extremely biased. When you were the employee, you celebrated holidays, now you're the employer...... "chinidad mediocre... wah dem wa holiday for..... i lozin out on meh morney"
