As a Barbadian, I am ashamed and appalled at the actions of the Royal Barbados Police Force as it relates to the imprisonment and subsequent charging of reporters Cherie Pitt and Jimmy Gittens for attempting to execute their journalistic duties yesterday.

It sickens my ass when I see officers who are supposed to be charged with the fiduciary responsibility of upholding the law taking that same authority and using it against citizens who are going about their law abiding duties.

It sickens my ass when I see when I look in today’s newspaper and see a picture of a big burly male Police Officer shoving female reporter Cherie Pitt for attempting to take a picture of a man that has been accused for being a drug dealer.
What message is being sent by the Police who are supposed to be protecting our women from domestic violence?
Is the legal authority of the Royal Barbados Police Force to be used to protect officers accused of drug activity?

I am appalled that the Police should behave in such a disgusting and disreputable manner and then have the audacity to charge Jimmy and Cherie for obstructing justice. It should be the police who should be charged for obstructing the journalists and assaulting Cherie Pitt.
 
It sickens me when I read of the limp and historically proven impotent words of Police Commissioner Darwin Dottin promising a full investigation into the matter.

The question is who guards the guards?
This incident more than ever provides an example of the need to have an external authority to investigate and have the power to take action against Police officers who abuse their legal authority.

The action of the Police force in this matter reeks of the Gestapo tactics which takes place in Zimbabwe and other oppressive dictatorships around the world.
It is our duty as right thinking Barbadians to pay attention and speak out against this blatant example of the Police making a mockery of justice in a most sickening and contemptuous way.

It is a proven fact that oppression of a society usually starts with intimidation of the press then it’s only a matter of time before they come for you…

I leave you with this famous quote…

“In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;
And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up.”

Jerry Lewis makes another anti-gay slur
Oct. 25, 2008, 8:24 AM EST
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Jerry Lewis made an anti-gay slur on Australian television similar to one he apologized for using on his annual telethon a year ago.

Caught this just now on MSN.com Jerry Lewis again dropping nasty remarks at gays, but not what this post is about lets us return to the remainder of the news release.

Following a news conference in Sydney Friday, Lewis, 82, was asked by a Network Ten national TV reporter for his opinion on the Australian nation sport of cricket.
“Oh, cricket? It’s a f– game. What are you, nuts?” Lewis replied.
The network broadcast the comment in full on its Friday evening news bulletin along with footage of Lewis handling an imaginary cricket bat with an effeminate gesture.

Now that’s where we need to draw the line Jerry, Dropping remarks at Gays is one thing but when you bring cricket into it that’s where we must draw the line…
Where is the connection between cricket and fags? I think they 82 year old Jerry is going off his rocker or maybe at 82 he needs to stay on his rocking chair and shut to ass up.
And wha is dat about handling a cricket bat with an effeminate gesture… Jerry should be aware that he is treading on a dangerous cricket ground, in the Caribbean it is more known that you must be a fag if you DON’T like cricket.
Allow Boyce to take some time pick Jerry Lewis and the Americans breadfruits which hang pretty damn low..
Is Jerry Lewis aware of the practice in his national game American foot ball of the male players slapping one another on their behinds when they score a touch down? That’s why they wear those tight ass sissy pants when they are playing.

Let’s not even speak on how they call the game foot ball but yet spend the whole time running around with the ball in their hands, and it’s not even a freaking ball it’s some oblong thing. Some body should inform Americans that balls are round.
Isn’t it in the same American football that all the male players jump down on one another in a pile supposedly over a ball, those players lose no opportunity to get in contact with one another in a most gay like manner?

Is Jerry aware that his United States of America has the most fag laws you have ever come across? They are now three states in the U.S where men can marry other men legally, I challenge Lewis to come down here and identify a cricket playing Caribbean territory where Ellen can marry her girlfriend.
Mr. Jerry Lewis I would advise you to stop up in Australia and make your stupid comments if you come down to the Caribbean talking yuh shite holding a bat effeminate to prove your point, next thing one of we beer drinking west Indian cricket fanatics hit yuh round yuh fagging head with the same freaking bat and out yuh lights, yuh *gun see.

Cricket is a Game of glorious uncertainties, one thing for certain, IT IS NOT A FAG GAME!

*Gun is used hear deliberately cause if he is in Jamaica he probably “Gun see” for truth
Some parts of this post were written deliberately in dialect so Americans reading it would not know what I mean but would skin their teeth anyway…

Whoa, Its Raining cats and dogs today, but lets forget the dogs and focus on the cats…

look at that little black pussy cat above, isn’t it cute? who would think that liking a little pussy cat could end you up in before the law courts. 

A cat loving friend of mine catmailed me and asked if for their catty edification if I could republish my “very pussy story” that i did some time ago as these are some very catty times we are living in..

 and in my cat loving eagerness decided to oblige, so click on below link with your paw..

a very pussy story

Once upon a time cats were bitten now they are the “biteys”, above is a pussy cat biting a person’s foot, would you let a cat bite you? you have got to be careful with your foot around a cat

Cats were once very docile creatures now every where you look its a cat attack, here’s a cat attacking a dog, thats quite a cat kick…! must be a kung Fu Cat

Heres a cat slapping another cat, WHAPAX! thats quite a slap for a little cat

The thing is men like cats and women like cats but few people are afraid to say, Ian Bourne is a self confessed cat lover he has even put a picture of it on the web, that’s how much he loves his cat.

I read a news story on the net this week, where a firefighter give mouth to mouth resuscitation to a cat to bring it back to life, afterwards he said, “it tasted like fur!” Now we all know what a cat taste like, unless you knew from before.. did you? maybe the cats got your tongue…

here comes the Bride

Here Comes the Bride…

Etc etc

You probably got scared when you read the above title, and thought Boyce voice was taking over from “Dear Christine” and becoming a marriage counselor.
But for the edification of readers female especially, I thought I would blog about the perceptions men have of marriage in contrast to women’s.

For women the entire concept of marriage is an event of great jollification and jubilation, for men its apprehension and uncertainty.

The difference starts from the engagement.
When a woman gets engaged its joy joy joy to the world for both her and her girlfriends are excited too “lemme see the ring” they exclaim “ooh that’s beautiful…it looks expensive!” and they say that like its a good thing.

When a man tells us buddies he is getting married the first response is”oh? are you sure?” and theres the tone of uncertaincy that dominates the conversation, we dont get excited and start jumping up and down.

We don’t view the expensive engagement ring with any great joy either because we have to buy it.
(Why do you need an engagement ring anyway why can’t you just give one wedding ring and call that a day?)

Men’s true perception of marriage is reflected in the nick names they have for the event , “getting hitched” that does not sound like a good thing. on the day of wedding we say our buddy “gine down” today, that term could also be used at a funeral like “gine down” in a hole. You see my point?
The last and most damming proof of a mans perception of marriage is the term his friend is going to get his “neck pop” today, I believe that is what happens when you are hung by the neck untill dead.
I could rest my case here but I wouldn’t.
(Whispering font) Boyce voice will continue more on marriage at a later date, wifey just came in so I must log off before she sees this……

Boyce has always taken note of the liberal marketing which is utilized by our Barbados Turf Club as it relates to getting people to attend horse racing at the garrison savannah.
I use the word “liberal” deliberately, I have seen ads promoting “Family Day” inviting you to bring your entire house hold kids and all to enjoy a day of racing at the garrison.
No one seems cognizant of the fact that that at horse racing the primary activity is really gambling, so if it were accurate the marketing should be, “bring the whole family out for a day of gambling….”
I saw a horse racing program on TV just this week which ends with a cute five year old girl in arms saying “see u at the races”. Isn’t that like having a child in a beer ad?
While it starts out looking like a harmless activity watching men on horses racing around a track and what’s wrong with a little harmless bet, that first bet could be an opening to falling victim to a condition which is comparable to alcohol and drug additions.

Let’s look at a definition of gambling

Gambling addiction, also known as compulsive gambling, is a type of impulse-control disorder. Compulsive gamblers can’t control the impulse to gamble, even when they know their gambling is hurting themselves or their loved ones. Gambling is all they can think about and all they want to do, no matter the consequences. Compulsive gamblers keep gambling whether they’re up or down, broke or flush, happy or depressed. Even when they know the odds are against them, even when they can’t afford to lose, people with a gambling addiction can’t “stay off the bet.”

So when you look at the possible consequences is it responsible to be taking your whole family to a day of horse racing where gambling happens? Further less using a five year old girl in the advertising.
Maybe it something Joey Harper chairman of the childcare board needs to look into and get off harassing people about children at calypso tents and cavalcades.

Big Beautiful and Happy

If you think Big is Beautiful more power to you! I read in the media that the organiser of the annual Miss Big and Beautiful Beauty pageant lamenting on the challenges and obstacles which stand in her way.

Lead by people like health professional Dr Henry Frazier, the competition has received some harsh criticism for featuring full size (aka fat) women as encouraging obesity and a lifestyle that leads to heart disease.

One of the innovations that promoter spoke of putting place was the requirement that all the “Big” women in the pageant MUST join a gym.
Now to me that doesn’t make any sense, obviously women following that advice will get smaller which seems to go against concept of being “Big and Beautiful”. If you are going to the gym how will you make that 200 lb minimum weight requirement to enter the competition?

The promoter should not sway from her principles, she needs to “screw her courage to the sticking place”
If you believe that being Big is Beautiful Stand Up for it!
If Asiba and other skinny starve out people don’t like fat girls, that’s their frigging business.
They are men out there who will do any thing for a plus size woman so who the ass are you to say they are not beautiful.
Remember Captain Sawyer 2005 calypso about how he likes them “Big and Fat and Thick”? that is the national anthem for some men.
If I was the promoter I wouldn’t change a damn thing, in fact I would be promoting my contest and my girls will be better and bigger than ever and if you don’t like that well you know what you can kiss, that’s big too!

These CNN presenters look so good then, they look like “bakes”

Have you ever noticed how beautiful female news anchors are when you are watching international TV news shows?
It’s freaking amazing, almost every single woman reading news that I have ever seen whether it’s on CNN, ABC or NBC looks like the best looking woman you have ever seen in your life.
Some times you don’t give a rat’s ass about what the content of the news is because you are so mesmerized by the woman reading it.
You know how many boring financial news programs about something called a “dow”I have watched because of beauty of the female presenter.
I am not saying that we don’t have attractive female presenters here but the international ones are something else.
I would be hard press to identify a time I was watching CNN and saw an “ugly” female presenter; it appears that it is a requirement that to land the job you must be beautiful and sexy in addition to being articulate and intelligent.
Is that being sexist? Some people would say hiring a females based on their looks is demeaning to the women.
 May be its about keeping people with shallow minds and short attention spans such as my self watching the news regardless of its content and keeping the ratings up. Plus these women are paid quite handsomely for their beautiful news reading.
Regardless of the state of the war in Iraq or the rising price of oil I will receive it more readily when it’s in news delivered by a sexy news woman…

100 lb Ingrid.

She is funny, she is enlightening and she is light. Weights only 100 Lbs. She is also back on your radio.

Ingrid as 100 lb school girl with P.C Broomes in Bacchanal Time

Is’nt it the most beautiful car you have ever seen in your whole life? Its the kind of car that would fit in on the beach or in Iraq..

Its also the kind of car that stands out. It makes a statement and when ever you drive it the Barbados police will stop you and ask what that statement is as camoflauge is illegal here..

You would not see Darron Grant driving a car like this, he is a wimp, it takes a strong man to defy the law and authorties by driving this car, or an idiot..

That idiot could be you..

Would you be idiot enough to drive this car? I would! it matches with my socks..

Thanks to FyahKros for sending me the car pic, next time send the car.

Photo of vicious Pirate lady awaiting her next victim

Well I promised and I always keep my promises, except when I don’t! The following is an actual encounter with a DVD pirate which happened to me in Bridgetown this weekend. Here is a ball by ball account of what transpired. The following happens around 2.15 pm Saturday 15th December outside Cheapside Vendors market Bridgetown Barbados. (Say it like the “24” TV show opening)

I am walking along just outside Cheapside vendors market, passed a woman of Guyanese-Indian descent aka. Pirate Woman, standing by a car with an umbrella…

Pirate woman: Psst! We have African DVDs selling 3 for $10.

(For my own protection I will just refer to my self as “me” to hide my identity).

Me: Not interested. Do you have American DVDs?

Pirate Woman: Ssh! Yes, but got to be careful, the police just short there! (Indicates police standing near by)

Police standing near by

Pirate Woman: Go to back of car and wait.

(I went to back of car and waited for 2 minutes while woman checked coast was clear and then came back. She opened the trunk of the car revealing a display of copies of DVD covers of American movies plus some African ones.)

Me: How much for the American movies?

Pirate Woman: 3 for $25.

Me: But I only see one I want.

Pirate Woman: Well that would be $10. (she is like Ali Singh.)

Me: Ok, I will take this one.

Selected a movie and paid $10. Was given movie as plain DVD without printed cover.

And that’s how I went undercover and bought an illegal DVD in Bridgetown on Saturday.

What does above encounter prove?

1. Despite the best efforts, Piracy remains in Bridgetown and we must always be cognizant of its existence.

2. Unlike previous years there is more a fear of Police enforcement and that’s a good thing. Several years ago a Pirate would not have been wary of the Police. In recent times there hhas been a proliferation of Piracy cases in our courts and that becomes an effective deterrent. (Or detergent in that it helps to clean the streets.)

3. Guyanese need to do their home work. Who in their right mind sells Peter Boyce a pirate DVD? Obviously that would be destined to end up on Boyce Voice.
