TSTT gets a taste of its own treatment of clients ...
with a poisonous barrage. Kyah! Kyah! Kyah!

than you can bear”, had finally intervened and sent Digicel to save Trinbagonians from the uncaring, over-charging beasts at TSTT and lead us into the glory of Digicel.

The Posse was there in the form of Rudevin, Rampee (the “Panday is God” fanatic) and Black Pat (the “PNM till ah dead” activist).

Agatha, who they does call Gyatah (but not I), and Gunbelt, the sassy young dude man from WASA had gone to find a Digicel outlet of the many that had opened that very day, to see if they could get some of the giveaways that the Irish cellular giant was dishing out generously, according to reports.

I know that according to early radio reports, the newly-opened Digicel outlets that morning were jampacked with people inside, with those outside almost fighting and nearly breaking down doors.

The Flagsman saw a situation like this Thursday morning at Digicel’s Curepe Junction outlet, where a huge crowd was pressing to get inside but had to be restrained by security personnel outside.

Even in the evening, when I happened to be passing there, a number of people were outside waiting to gain entrance to the premises.

I was telling this to the assembled pardners, who by then, were sated with copious amounts of Old Oak White rum and ready to vent their feelings in the matter.

Rudevin poured a heavy-duty drink, knocked it off straight, belched a loud breaah, rocked back in his chair and said almost combatively:

“You know, I don’t see why people making all the fuss about Digicel coming. TSTT is we own t’ing and look how they have done a lot of upgrading and brought their phone system right up to 21st Century capability.

“TSTT has come with all sorts of special offers and they are the best thing that you could get.

“Man, TSTT is the best thing since sliced bread,” he ended with a flourish.

Then Black Pat, not to be left out, jumped in the brew with his “contribution”, as those frequent fanatic PNM callers to Power 102 and 95.5 like to term their shrill, noisome garbage.

And if I may digress here somewhat slightly, let me say with authority, and on the authority of the Big Barty Gladiator, when he was vexing up himself every day on the radio last year, and claiming that PM Manning had not paid him some $150,000 the party owed him for campaigning or some such foolishness.

An aggrieved Gladdy was bussing mark on the PNM left, right and centre and he let the cat out of the bag that callers such as that bitterly anti-Indian racist, hiding under the pseudonym of “Cocorite”, the stink-mouth pensioner they call “Port of Spain” and assorted other know-it-all PNM racists, all camouflaged under various sobriquets, were going to Balisier House every month to collect $500 to pay for their phone bills, so that they could flood the airwaves throughout the day with their constant, obnoxious, anti-UNC “contributions” in an attempt to sway public opinion.

They did this during the last election campaign but few people were aware at the time that this was a planned, orchestrated effort.

And talk is that the PNM, now flush with “contribution” money (Heh! Heh! Heh!), has raised the ante to $1,000 for each constant caller, so one expects to see a mad rush to Balisier House for Callers’ Dollars.

Kyah! Kyah! Kyah!

But I digress, I think, overly.

So back to Black Pat. Hear him:

“Look at how TSTT is offering such improved services. You can’t ask for anything better.

“Even Brian Lara is endorsing the bMobile, so that should tell you something.”

Well breds, that was as far as Black Pat got, because Rampee jumped in one time cutting Pat short.

Hear the Indian: “Allyuh bound to say that TSTT good, no matter how much they have been f---ing we up all these years down the line.

“And you know why?

“Is because TSTT is government-owned and has always identified with the PNM.

“As a matter of fact, TSTT is PNM Party Group Number One, and if you think I lie, check out how few Indians are working there, especially among the new employees.

“TSTT is PNM and they too racial!

“All Indians, now that TSTT no longer has a monopoly, should finish right away with Party Group Number One and transfer their business to Digicel. TSTT too stink and racial with deyself!”

And proud as a peacock, Rampee turned to me and asked: “Flags boy, what you think?”

Well, breds, this is one time the Flags did not hesitate to make my “contribution” (Hee! Hee!):

“You see me and these nasty, stink people in TSTT? I want to have nothing to do with them.

“As a matter of fact, I feel that Digicel should have come here 10 years ago.

“TSTT has imposed immense hardship and suffering on its customers over the years and run its business with an arrogance and contempt that is unparalleled in the annals of corporate business in TnT.

“You know the amount of wrong bills, bad bills, other people’s calls, ratchifeed calls, mysterious sex calls and all sorts of wickedness TSTT has been perpetrating on the publicfrom ever since?

“And the arrogance they treat you with when you go to query these things?

“TSTT never cared about people, just like their predecessor, Telco, did, not even when calypsonian Penguin scathed them with “Telco Poops”.

“These shameless people should never get anybody’s money or business.

“As far as I am concerned, everybody should go over to Digicel one time and don’t even pay TSTT any balance owing them.

“TSTT has punished and tortured innocent customers for too long, and I, for one, will never forgive them.

“They too wicked and evil, and they must burn in the fires of hell, with their business totally gone through.

“I don’t care if TSTT now offers me gold, diamonds, rubies or sapphire to stay with them.

“Not even that will work.

“TSTT has terrorised people for years.

“Now the Vengeance of Moko has fallen on them, in the form of Digicel.

“They shall suffer and pay, just as we the clients have.

“God don’t sleep!”

To my few fans and untold number of detractors, I say be of good cheer, keep far from TSTT, go Digicel all the way, and ’til next week, stay up and …

Keep those flags flying!
