Forumites,
I know this ent no big scene to some of you, but last night I went up to Piarco to pick up injunchile.
After parking up and watching the arrival monitor, I decided to partake in the next best activity in the arrival area.......selective observation, otherwise known as "gapin" or "makkoin"
So as I watched the young ladies that would grace the various fetes and streets of Port of Spain in various stages of undress, my attention was drawn to a flurry of photographers and security personel.
I say ahh boy...injunchile reach!
As if on que the lil pan side on the left known as Rhapsody start up.......tock, tock, tock!.....prang, dum dum, dum do dum, prang! and Woman on the Bass was filling the air.
Next thing I know some important looking black luggage with a steel finish came out under tight security, about 8-10 media persons all foreigners running around clearing space and snapping "pichars" and "FLIM"
Then TV camera and man with microphone start walking around, and the lil tape recorder men start to appear.
I say Wha!...is what injunchile do on the people plane!
Next thing a know a tall, grey haired white as snow man walk tru the sliding doors, in a polos and khakis flanked with security and media personel.
I say wheyyy a Star Boy touch down here for Carnival lemme go and see.
So I went by the railing to see who this Star Boy is and lo and behold it was the "Kaizer"
I say wheyyy look a big player.....all the people around me watch me and skin up they face, he?, who is he.......me eh know him from adam!
Now I expected the women around to not know him, but the elderly males around saying, me ent know that white man.
I say dat is the "kaizer".......hear a fella next to me "kaizer".......what FLIM he ack een!
I say that is "Germany big player and Captain"
"Oh hor, nah I does follow cricket, show me any long time white cricketer and I go tell yuh who that is.".......chimed my new found makkoin partner
Now I was fully expecting a man of this calibre to have some sort of TTFF or Ministry rep waiting to receive the man, but the poor fella had to stand up on the curb for a good 10 minutes lookin lost. But he had his people surrounding him.
Eventually a silver X5 pull up and he hop in and speed orf, with the entourage in tow.
Franz in TT people! he must be come to go a lil fete.
P.S.....I feeling lil idle today in the wuk nah, and I have to look lil busy hope you enjoyed the read.
