That'll do nicely.........

Congratulations are in order for local phenomenon Ryan Braithwaite Braffit (this is bajanisms after all).
Now I'm not normally one to get emotionally entwined with the hoo-ha associated with these types of celebrations, but, I will make an exception this time because of the 'obeah' effect that his performance had on a few notable bajans.

For instance we have C.O.W Williams who was overheard saying, "Man, ryan tek all of the pain out of my heart that the West Indies cricket team gimme."

I second that sentiment C.O.W....... wholeheartedly.

The icing on the cake for me, though, came when another popular local businessman, Ralph "Bruggadung" Johnson nearly broke down on camera with joy (?) at welcoming his fellow bajan home.(see below).



All in all, it was a welcome home entirely commensurate with the performance that he put down in Germany. I also thought he did quite well, given that he stepped off an 8-hour flight only to be whisked off on a 6-hour motorcade and presentation culminating in being forced to sit and listen to the likes of the rt. hon. David Thompson yammering for almost an entire hour.

I do have one question for 'Bruggadung' though, where the f@ck is "Bee-jing"?
