For all of the political agenda B'dos Free Press may fling here and there every now and again, they do have some intriguing stories of true newsworthy attention, but then again, some areas within the mainstream media are under direct orders not to acknowledge this side of the world, no matter how juicy the story - here are some good BFP examples that are not touched completely yet...The items about implying a racket is on for foreigners who relax here only to find a ransacked home when they return or the spin on the latest tourist crimes which both the Tourism Authority and the Hotel and Tourism Association want downplayed?Rather than downplay it, perhaps they should hold off until the perps are caught and then highlight the fact the idiots are in Dodds avoiding to drop bars of soap, since it's usually the business community, friends and family of the RBPF or visitors who are most likely to get swift yet mostly accurate justice.Why am I talking all of this?

2007's days are numbered (our 1st anniversary looms, yikes) and some of us are yet to spend our last shekel to get a gift celebrating the birth of one of God's Messengers (Here you thought Christmas was all about guys in red and white and snow even in tropics?)...Well, for those who wish to stay Bajan and reasonable - you have two choices! A spoken-word disk or an anthology. For those into audio, try "Random Acts of Conscience" from adrian green -aka- Amenyama, this 15-track album features many popular verses from this modern-day Aesop turned Orpheus... "DJ's and artists" (where local culture's subversion is lamented) or "Politicians" (which links Alexander, Julius Caesar, Napoleon with Hitler, Bush Sr & Bush Jr). The album also features Ikon as well as Mwihaki Itrina.Unfortunately, you won't find Rebel Diva nor Ancestors on this compilation!

Private Beach on Barbadian West Coast? According to online edition of Count
2007-12-06 12:09:00
Gabby wrote a song about the possibility of limiting access to beaches that was a hit back in 1982 and the refrain was "Dah beach is mine, Ah could bathe anytime!" Huh, that was then and this is NOW, buddy! You visit the Brit website, Country Life? Milord and Colina Del Mar, in Fitts Village near St James, are both in a very desirable area just 3 miles from Holetown and its restaurants and shops, but their most appealing characteristic is its private beachfront access. Space on the beach in this area in Barbados comes at a premium, and this property is certainly set to be popular with those looking for a holiday home, or a primary residence in the Caribbean. I understand why many UK folk want to come here, but I could have sworn Barbadian beaches are public, then again that is just me - I don't know. Somewhere along the way, I think, both Jack and Gabby must be in a rumshop with the Biblical Esau, comparing messes of pottage - is this right? What can be done?
