"Referring to the recent "bomb explosion" in downtown Port of Spain London said to date there was no evidence that it was a terrorist act and as such "we have to treat it as an act of violence". However, he said the incident had raised the question as to how Tobagonians and citizens of T&T should respond to terrorism."

"The 2007 Hurricane Season got off to a quiet start last Friday.
Weather forecasters in Miami are predicting a very active season with 17 storms."

"County Medical Officer of Health (CMOH) Dr Mentor Melville is appealing to Tobagonians to take precautionary measures to prevent the breeding of malaria and dengue carrying mosquitoes.

He said now that the rainy season was here such mosquitoes tend to breed faster and in large quantities."

Nice build up to my trip!


:shock:

hahahaha. I need to live in Tobago for a few years and get to learn how to lime properly!

Thing is, I've lived in London all my life, am surrounded by police sirens and don't blink at them!

I guess it's just too easy to see Tobago (and Trini) as immune from that which spoils the rest of this planet.

I was of course also playing to type somewhat just for fun :wink:
