The conversation was hilarious. The Jamerican woman told her Jamaican relative that she was putting off her trip to Jamaica because of the chikungunya outbreak. The response was: “I’m not coming to America because you have Ebola up there.” End of conversation.

Two of my girls could not get their annual retail therapy on Observer Takes Style Out night because of chik-v. But up to yesterday some stores were still offering the TSO deals, so they went to town.

Hell hath no fury like…

Whoever coined the phrase “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” must have been talking about the St Andrew browning who exploded on her former beau in the clothing store at Manor Park.

My girls are not supporting Wavell Hinds just because he is cute. We have seen this tendency for other Caribbean people to ‘fight down’ Jamaicans in regional leadership. Remember Courtney Walsh and Chris Gayle? Hang in there, Wavell.

Question of the week
