  • @triniwebdiva I resent that reference to Peña. But if you happen to know where she is, I hope you'll let me know. in reply to triniwebdiva #
  • "Min. Gopeesingh is a trained gynaecologist and obstetrician." As opposed to all the untrained ones practising in T&T. http://bit.ly/96fI73 #
  • Rec'd a notice from GoDaddy asking if I wanted to renew http://bit.ly/9Zibmh. Should I, even tho nobody seems to want to meet me anymore? #

  • Oops – late for my vuvuzela lesson again… #

  • @georgiap HRFH duly added! Thanks-all those fake Robert Mugabes were getting lonely in there. Also added @alqaeda, just for kicks. in reply to georgiap #
  • How ironic is it that I forgot to include myself on the Fake World Leaders Twitter list I created??? VERY, right? http://bit.ly/cl1r3H #

  • Anybody know the rules to Solitaire? #

  • @therealjovan How you think? You Bajans real insensitive, yes. in reply to therealjovan #
  • Realised I don't know how to set up wiki to crowdsource concession speech. Could 1 of the schoolkids who's getting a laptop from Kamla help? #
  • @therealjovan Will seriously consider it, but not sure I'll have access to Tobago flying fish after tomorrow. in reply to therealjovan #
  • Hazel just left for the Hyatt! Baby Doc warned me this would happen. #
  • At least tomorrow I'll be able to sleep late… #silverlining #trinidad #elections #
  • Those celebrating the PP's victory should spare a thought for the country's ducks. Would you want to be curried en masse? #trinidad #
  • Karen Tesheira just called me "gentlemanly" on TV. That's not what she used to say during our, er, private moments! #trinidad #
  • @j9 In that case maybe I'll hire @macmark to do my see-ing for me. Juliana Penã FAIL! #trinidad in reply to j9 #

  • Hey, things could be worse. I could be Bruce Golding. #silverlining #trinidad #election #

  • What's the opposite of a holiday? That's what I feel like declaring today. #trinidad #

  • Looking for tips on how one should dress for a court martial… #trinidad #
  • Juliana Peña is dead to me. #trinidad #
  • They declined Hazel's c/card at the Hyatt last night. Now they're trying to make her wash dishes. Our name is now mud in this town. #

  • Hazel just drunk-dialed me from the Hyatt. This free drinks thing has got to stop. #
  • Realising who my true friends are. Can count them on the fingers of one hand. Good thing I was born with 13 fingers. #
  • Effing Juliana Peña changed her cell phone number again!! Now how the hell am I going to decide on an election date? #
  • @madchinee You think the others do it any differently? I know for a fact that Gordon Brown consults a witch in the north of Scotland. in reply to madchinee #
  • @SanMan_ish So nice to hear you say the election date is in my back pocket and not one of the unsavoury parts of me suggested by others. in reply to SanMan_ish #
  • *Gulp* Say it isn't so! RT @georgiap: Take note Trinidad:"The brief lives of Chinese buildings" http://bit.ly/citiAB #

  • Just visited Marlene. Turns out the problem with her foot is gout, not an accident as reported by those druglords in the media. #trinidad #
  • Kamla looks even dumber in that African ensemble than Hazel did that time she tried to put on a sari http://bit.ly/cvJw7G #
  • None of the bobolees I've seen so far resembles me, but there's a big-ass one in St Ann's that's the spitting image of Marlene McD. #
  • Was just about to start building a John Jeremie bobolee when Hazel said "Why bother to do it twice?" #

  • Rock wrapped in paper just came flying thru office window. Written on paper was "Take dat, Patos! Yours truly, Druglord". I live in fear. #
  • Hearing abt a raid on Calder H's res, UDECOTT, Sunway! For the record, any item found there w/ my name on it is due to a "technical glitch". #
