Wuk up and jucks left right and center!
Submitted by Observing
Now that the crop over dust has settled it is clear that we were always in the wukking and jucking season. Videos and photos all over social media shows the old, young, black, white, slim, fat, rich and poor jucking down the place and wukking up like mad.
And, as if on cue, we the people continue to bend over and tek these jucks sometimes without even looking back to see who the owner of the banana is.
We get juck down with a change to NIS. Now the big boss begging for everyone to come on board after the fact.
The BTMI CEO get juck all the way cross the ocean over to Africa. Guess he couldn’t wuk up good enough!
The NCF juck down revelers with a whopping 13 hour jump and 8 hour wait that ended in darkness and jumpers in distress. Then they put their hands up, rolled their batties and told us that it was the best Kadooment ever.
The Savvy Brother Kinch getting juck down and juck out of Bay Street. Now he has to wuk up in a renovated building to make sure it gets back to its pop down state. Watch and see, time will tell that somebody else has a Mark out on that spot for their own wuk up party.
The DLP jucking down themselves with two old goats, a wannabe and a neophyte…none of who ever really know how to wuk up.
65 influencers from overseas and many other places got to come juck and wuk up with free airfare, hotel, costume and meals.
Over at the QEH patients getting wuk up on for 2-3 days while they wait to get their much needed jucks
Local media getting juck into blindness ’cause it seems like every big story nowadays we have to hear from international media first!
Banks wukking up on clients with fees galore, impossible criteria for lending and no hope for small businesses
Nurses had to stop wuk to juck the powers that be to fix what needed to be fixed forever!
Poor Caswell. He know how to wuk up for the right cause but he doesn’t have enough to juk hard enough nowadays.
And of course, fete promoters wuk up all the way to the same banks with $300 “all inclusives” some of which were clearly NOT inclusive!
Wuk up and jucks left right and center!

@Observing
Your several observations would be hilarious if for the most part they were not true.

Well we should be grateful that the crap is over and done with.
Let ’em eat cake. For 10 long years they sat around while allowing the inept to run amok. To the blind it was obvious that the DLP was incapable of governing yet they got a 2nd term. 10 years. DLP clearly knew nothing about ECONOMICS other than the ‘fact’ that the trough had no lid. Let ’em eat cake.
I was planning to watch the discussion on the NIS on CBC last night until I discovered who the participants were: The Minister (Jordan); The Deputy Chair of the NIS (Adams); The Director of the NIS (Tudor) and a fourth individual whose name I can’t recall but I think he is an actuary who worked on the proposed changes.
Naturally I found other things to do
Was CBC guilty of “jucking” out viewers eyes?
@Sargeant
Probably was Serek Osbourne the lead actuary out of a Bahamian based company contracted by NIS.
@David
Yes, it was David Osbourne.
How on Earth can you have a legitimate discussion on the changes when the people responsible for them made up the panel?
CBC was really blowing smoke up peoples butt or they don’t give a $%#@.
The objective was more a public service exercise, to socialize proposed changes. We have been seeing similar activity in the press and government portals.
@enuff
Didn’t the BU intelligentsia warned you about the NIS going back too many years?
One can view it as informational. Yes. It would have been more useful to have otter commenters to interrogate the information and the inference deduced from that information.
David
Warned me? The current government has moved swiftly to address the issue. I don’t think they could have 2008-2018 or at the height of covid. Niw the BU egotelligentsia ain’t got an alternative just a lotta blustet as usual. I see your pal Kinch making headlines again.🤣
@Enuff
Time longer than twine.
Read where the government want to ‘invest’ in a parking lot
Did I get that right?
The truth is I don’t read much of the stuff I see written here or elsewhere…. I am like a fly flitting from pile to pile. I try not to eat or inhale.
Anyone know if Simple Simon is ok?
She was on other threads a little while ago. Said she had COVID but was still kicking.

If the lawyers in Barbados who clearly see what is happening, know it has always been human rights violating and have the training to do something to help the people out of this stinking 100 year old Muttley criminal agenda but dont have the ethics to act, NO ONE off island should ever employ them again and the people in Barbados should stop using them for legal services permanently, you have other options, spread the word…..they can end this…if they wanted and if they don’t, they are COMPLICIT in the destruction of the people on the island..
Simple Simon/ Cuhdear Bajan was on other threads? Glad to hear
RE: “Too much jucks and wuk ups!,”
When I saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought of the author.
Chose at first not read it, because I anticipated the content.
But, decided to do so, after seeing in the ‘margin,’ Donna posted a comment
Wasn’t surprised.
RE: “The NCF juck down revelers with a whopping 13 hour jump and 8 hour wait that ended in darkness and jumpers in distress. Then they put their hands up, rolled their batties and told us that it was the best Kadooment ever.”
In all FAIRNESS, this is an EXAGGERATION of the truth.
WHEN were Barbadians told this “was the BEST Kadooment ever?”
Based on what I read, the NCF gave reasonable explanations for the delays, some of which were beyond their control.
For example, we all know there was a heavy downpour of rain when bands were about to ‘juk and wuk up’ along the route.
And, I’m sure the author of the article would not have hesitated to describe NCF as unconscionable, if bands were allowed to ‘juk and wuk up’ through the rain.
Some band leaders refused to proceed, preferring instead to wait until members who were late arrived, so they could all ‘juk and wuk up’ together.
There was also an issue with a truck accompanying a band that broke down on the route, which presented difficulties for bands following to ‘juk and wuk up’ past it.
But, what about the other Crop Over events, such as Soca on The Hill, Tipsy, Junior Calypso Monarch, Pic-O-De Crop Calypso Finals, Junior Kadooment that were well organised?
Yes, there were challenges with Kadooment, but that does not mean Crop Over or Kadooment wasn’t successful.
@Artax
Why the logistical challenges, revellers have jumped in the rain on previous Kadooment Days.
If a truck broke down why were the others behind unable to pass through?
Why was there a need for an entourage of 20+ coaches carrying influencers from overseas sandwiched between the bands?
Why was a decision not taken at a reasonable time when NCF management should have realized time was running out to get to final destination before dark? It was forced anyway because of the gunplay.
If bandleaders didn’t want to move why not let them suffer the consequences of their decision?
Say what you will the management of Crop Over must up its game.
@Artax
Not surprised either, but….
Feel free to point out any other Kadooment Day EVER since inception that had the nightmare logistics, lack of communication and end result that we witnessed last week. Rain, sun or hail.
The season was awesome. The jump up was a mess. The declaration of a successful Kadooment was in the paper the next day. Feedback on social media said otherwise. The anticipated walk back and admittance of some hiccups are only now coming out.
Don’t shoot the messenger. And by the way a “rain jump” is the sweetest jump and Bajan roads can actually have two vehicles pass by each other at the same time.

I’m happy you’re not surprised either, because, in MY opinion your CREDIBILITY is QUESTIONABLE.
During a previous election season, you came to this forum saying you’re going to critique the manifestos of both mainstream political parties.
You provided a critique of ONE, while claiming you were waiting on the other party to present theirs.
Almost three years after the elections……?????
I AGREED there were challenges, but, ‘feel free to’ ‘tell’ the forum, WHEN or WHO told Barbadians that this “was the best Kadooment ever?”
There are also comments on social media INDICATING the OPPOSITE of what you have presented to BU.
I’ll bet you will dismiss as rubbish, social media comments saying David Estwick will win the DLP’s presidential election.
Social media gives everyone an opportunity to talk shiite, without being challenged, which people readily believe without verifying the accuracy of the comments and credibility of the source, since the information satisfies their particular agenda.
Hence, the term ‘confirmation bias.’
The hypocrisy on BU is amazing.
David et al would attack Enuff or Lorenzo for their particular biases……
…… but are willing to DEFEND and GIVE YOU a ‘FREE PASS.’
“The anticipated walk back and admittance of some hiccups are only now coming out.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How were preliminary talk of Kadooment being successful were measured?
Does it mean that, despite “some hiccups,” the NCF was able to ACHIEVE at least above 50% of their objectives for the day?
Whether Kadooment was successful or not, CANNOT be determined IMMEDIATELY AFTER the event.
There must be an assessment of the event, followed by collaborative discussions between the organizers stakeholders, participants, security and emergency personnel including Police, BDF, Fire and Ambulance Services, to determine the challenges encountered etc……
…… which OBVIOUSLY could not be held IMMEDIATELY AFTER the people ‘juk and wuk up.’
It is UNREASONABLE for anyone to suggest that acknowledging challenges were encountered AFTER an ASSESSMENT of the event was made, could be an “anticipated walk back and admittance of some hiccups are only now coming out.”
Anyhow, these are MY THOUGHTS and OPINIONS.
‘Here endeth the lesson.’
@ David
I noticed one of my contributions to this thread has been withheld????
@Artax
It went to spam.
It would be a shame if the jump is returned to jumping on the ABC Highway but it is obvious authorities and band security are unable to maintain good order on the Black Rock route.

dont we do that evryy day. jucking and wukking up??
So where is this weight the pretend elites are supposed to be punching above while begging handouts for housing…with BILLIONS of dollars still missing…begging, borrowing, depending.broke elite wannabes..
““You have 18 000 NHC applicants and you have 25 000 derelict and vacant lots, so why leave them? That process [to create the company] has started . . . . We have received $700 000 from the IDB [Inter-American Development Bank] as a grant to assist us with the technical studies for that project.
Sutherland promised to make a further announcement to give more details on that project in a few months.”
Want to see the pretend eites. jump out with their lying, deceitful traitor mouths misleading the people again, they have no control over anything except ignorant slaves/supporters who know nothing worthwhile, never will, ..and whatever they setup amongst themselves to tief…while destroying the people and isand, they know they will never have full control and STILL LYING……it came as absolutely no surprise..when that reality presented itself as weeee felt all along…IMPOSTORS…for politicians.
Ironically, last year some band leaders and members complained that the new route was too long and hot, while suggesting a return to the old route.
“This route sucks. There is no atmosphere. Give us the ORIGINAL ROUTE,” shouted one woman from one of the bands as it moved on towards the Botanical Gardens.
It is impossible to please everyone. There hasn’t been a year that people fid not complain about something.
Another fact not taken into consideration is there was an increase in the number of bands this year.
Anyone familiar with St. Vincent knows Kingstown is very small.
Yet, during ‘Vincy Mas,’ the bands parade through front and back streets, and, despite a few ‘hiccups’ or acts of lawlessness, everyone has a good time.
The interlocking of directorships designed to keep some people out of the boardrooms, has now invaded the operation/ management of state enterprises.
A perusal of recent appointments and elevations, can easily be traced to political pedigree and corporate unions and associations.
The answers are all before and around us.

Critical condition. Another shooting.

@ARtax
Love ya bad.
Re. the NCF I concede “they” never said the best ever, BUT, “they” did say Kadooment was a success, which is FALSE. One official said it was the best ever, she was dead wrong.
Yes, it can be called a success if you take a few photos and consider the 8 or so bands that actually had a good time and made it to Spring Garden before 5:00 pm, but when you consider everything else that SHOULD have been mitigated with proper planning and on the spot decision making, better can be done.
FACT: Crop Over was fantastic. Kadooment day was a mess.
Now, there is a difference between credible and biased. I am always credible but can on rare occasions be biased AS WE ALL ARE AND DO. Don’t kill me for OUR human nature
Your constant call for a critique of the DLP’s manifesto from years ago falls moot given the 30-0 result twice.
So, here’s my critique… “The entire DLP manifesto was a waste of time and paper before and after the fact.” Hope that brings closure and brings us closer together.
The real reality is that those who are in power are those who should be held to account. Those who seek power are those who should be forced to show/prove their mettle and then IF they get power WHEN they fall short MUST be called to account at EVERY turn.
Our constant giving of free passes to our politicians since Independence is our albatross. Hence our current dilemma with our socio-political environment and our organizational body politic.
Also, criticism of one group does not infer acquiescence to the other. ALL should be called out if needed.
Thank God for David and BU that some of US can come and get things off their chest without the cost of a counselor, psychologist or a job! I trust you will continue to do the same and advance the thought process thorugh robust discussion debate AND definite disagreements.
As I start so shall I end. Uh love ya bad!
Will the real leaders please stand up???

Read your contribution and felt I should clarify a few things.
RE: “FACT: Crop Over was fantastic. Kadooment day was a mess.”
EVIDENCE, please.
RE: “Your constant call for a critique of the DLP’s manifesto from years ago falls moot given the 30-0 result twice.”
You are PURPOSELY MISLEADING the forum.
I NEVER ‘constantly called for you to critique the DLP’s manifesto.’
INSTEAD, I CONSTANTLY REMINDED you that you DID NOT, after PROMISING to do so, WHEN the document was released.
RE: “The real reality is that those who are in power are those who should be held to account.”
I AGREE with you 💯%.
Remember, the DEMs ‘WERE IN POWER,’ at the time you critiqued the BLP’s manifesto.
Hence, the reason why I asked that you, in the INTEREST of REASONABLE FAIRNESS and BALANCE, should also review the DLP’s.
When REMINDED, you PRESENTED ‘all TYPES of EXCUSES’ for NOT fulfilling your promise….. until you eventually ‘remained silent.’
By doing do, and to NOW ACKNOWLEDGE “that those who are in power are those who should be held to account,” you’re being HYPOCRITICAL.
Remember, BU has an archive, which people often refer to as a credible resource, only when it suits their particular purpose……
…… but, ‘digging up garbage,’ when it does not.
RE: “Now, there is a difference between credible and biased. I am always credible but can on rare occasions be biased AS WE ALL ARE AND DO. Don’t kill me for OUR human nature.”
Yes, “there is a difference between credible and biased.”
Rather than making ‘sly innuendoes,’ with references such as in your above comment, I’ll be up front, to ‘say,’ assuming you are a man, then, that’s the only difference between you and AC
Tired of seeing women twerking.
Tired of seeing men sucking up.
Tired of this grand advertising for sex tourism and child abuse. A pervert’s delight.
Culture, my ass
A mega BLP event.
@Artax
“Evidence please”
Your calls for evidence doesn’t change what happened and didn’t happen. You would have had to be there. You would have had to been accustomed to years past. Not sure if you are in that category but have a chat with those who have.
Opinions and fact
I dread the day when BU refuses opinions and only posts “evidence based facts.” I think you do too.
Credibility and bias
Slyness is used when there’s a point to prove. Thankfully I have none. The point remains, we all have our biases, including you. The ability to share them without rancour is what makes us us.
“…you presented all types of excuses…”
Where’s the evidence?
re. DLP/BLP manifesto critique
If you mine the archive find my critique of the BLP’s manifesto while and when the DLP was in power I will eat humble pie and admit that you are right, Never too big to do so and never about winning and losing an argument in my world. I admit that there was a point in the past when I was “blue” eyed and bushy tailed so anything is possible even though I don’t recall! But yes, when those in power deserve “licks”, they should get it else we end up with the arrogant ignorant bunch we got rid of in 2018.
As always a good exchange, albeit for divergent purposes at points. Looking forward to continued robust debate and exchange of thoughts with you. That’s why we are here.
Male, female or in between…much love!!!!

These economics matters are outside of my bailiwick. However, when it comes to name calling “I dey”. Translation ‘I am there’.
Can I persuade you to use the word Perfraud or even Perfruade (if you are worried about being sued).
