Air Supply brings house down
By CAROL MATROO Monday, May 20 2013
“Even The Night Is Better” could not have been a better choice as the band from “down under” sang their long list of hits. This was followed by “just As I Am”, “On My Own”, “Every Woman In The World”—which had the ladies grabbing on to their men, holding on tightly as they lost themselves in the romantic words.
The dynamic duo surprised the crowd as they leapt off the stage and walked through the aisles while singing “Lost In Love.” Even the band’s beefy security detail struggled to keep fans at bay as they tried to touch the men and take their photographs.
And people do actually swoon, as several women held their hands to their hearts while others clasped their palms to their cheeks while fanning themselves. They had fans singing the words aloud as they made their way back to the stage, but the crowd surged forward, and this time security definitely had their hands full as they crowded in front of the stage. Or maybe they did not want to try too hard giving fans the chance to get their money’s worth.
Which was definitely the case judging from the responses from the patrons. Nerissa Boodoo was pleased as punch as she sang along from her vantage seat. “I am absolutely pleased and I believe I am getting my money’s worth. I go to all of their concerts,” she gushed. Thirty-four-year old Teekaram, who is mentally challenged, sat mesmerised as he lisened to what his sister , Shobha said was his all time favourite.
“He said he wanted to see Air Supply so we brought him with my other sister, mummy and daddy,” she said.
“Just Claudette”—that was the way she gave her name—said she left her home in Florida just to attend the concert.
“I am having an absolutely wonderful time. It was worth the trip,” she said.
It was a much anticipated concert which delivered on its promise to deliver an evening of romance. Traffic on the highway and the back roads leading to the venue was backed-up as patrons slowly made their way, many seeking parking spots along the way.
Young men were making a brisk trade offering “safe parking” for $40 for the night.
The romance continued, many men were seen with roses in their hands for their sweethearts. These were on sale at the concert.
Fire officers ensured the safety of the fans inside the venue, while police officers were alert for those who may have had too much of a good time, what with the flow of liquor in the VIP and VVIP sections. A male and female officer had to call for reinforcements after they tried to detain a young man who was most certainly inebriated.
He tried to resist when the officers took his driver’s permit and keys from him, but they were able to subdue him and he was arrested.
Despite a few minor mishaps, it was a happy crowd that walked out of the Centre of Excellence, the romance of the evening still lingering, the words of love still echoing through the air.
dont understand what the scoresheet has to do with the record being broken.

"The Great Escape",lol,seriously though we cannot take this team to the Final,some replacements are required,for a start Solozano is out of place against the pace battery that is awaiting him and I honestly dont want to see him hurt,give the boy another 2 years or play him against weaker opposition.I still feel that Barath should have been retained for the entire season because he wasn't doing to badly,what is the reason for keeping Ramdin and dropping Barath,Barath is probably in the top 2 or 3 batsmen for TT this season.Yannic Ottley should replace Hussain and Mohammed must not play 4 day cricket again for TT,the older Ottley should replace him.Team for the final.Simmons,Barath,Carriah,Katwaroo,Ramdin,Ottley,Ottley,Khan,Emritt,Richards,Gabriel.
Barath's scores have been terrible recently:
4 Trinidad & T v Comb C&C Bridgetown 18 Apr 2013 LA
16, 15 Trinidad & T v Barbados Port of Spain 10 Apr 2013 FC
0 Trinidad & T v Barbados Port of Spain 7 Apr 2013 LA
9 Trinidad & T v Jamaica Kingston 4 Apr 2013 LA
3, 8 Trinidad & T v Jamaica Kingston 30 Mar 2013 FC
14, 11* Trinidad & T v Comb C&C Port of Spain 23 Mar 2013 FC
12 and 56 vs. Guyana in POS
I help build over my mother house a few years ago. De material real expensive and the labour to, you cant even get men to work, we had to hire some Guyanese to finish de house. Them Trinis, de few we get was real demanding, a bunch of smart man.
They want big money, they reaching late, they on de phone whole day, they want to leave early especially on Fridays and they always need advance money.
And if you dont live in T&T, dont waste your time, man go lick yuh up bad bad.
And them fellas go thief yuh material.
It cost we about $40,000 TT just to cast de foundation.
OK fellas if Barath isn't the one then surely you cannot give such a job to a boy with absolutely no first class experience.Bring in the 2 Ottleys for Mohammed and Hussain and have Ramdin open with Simmons,we can then bring in S.Ganga as an extra bowler and he is more than a useful bat down the order.
