Pear-shaped… hourglass-shaped… ectomorph… mesomorph… top-heavy… bottom-heavy… We’ve all heard of the different body types as described in everything from medical science journals to your everyday magazine. For those of you who aren’t sure where exactly you fit, SCORCH has put together an easy reference list that we’re sure you can all relate to.
Despite frequent claims of “no vehicles available” and “Sergeant how-he-name on sick leave”, the police service clearly has the resources to organise a nationwide stop and search when they want. Apparently, the qualifications for a police offer are 5 CXC passes and a minimum of 3 yrs working experience at Laughlin & DeGannes since everything from engine oil to tyre pressure was getting checked. While they were checking for vehicular defects, the police clearly weren’t concerned about the use of mobile phones while driving since…
Yesterday, we gave you a crash course in ‘Fetiquette 101′, listing all the major do’s and don’ts for party-goers this Carnival season and beyond (hope allyuh had a good read and take heed!).

Whether it’s somebody in your crew, a random stranger in the party or you self, yuh bound to find one somewhere in the party. So, after critical acclaim, it only seems…
The Boss. The Big Man in the Business. Call him what you want, Neil ‘Iwer’ George is a soca staple with a career that rivals perhaps only that of Machel Montano in longevity. Since his Road March runner-up ‘Boom Boom Time’ in 1987 (yes, NINETEEN EIGHTY-SEVEN! De man shelling down fete since before the coup!) Iwer has been dropping hit after hit, racking up 3 Soca Monarch titles, a Road March title and a slew of top 3 finishes in both competitions over a 30…
KFC came to Trinidad back in 1973, opening its first outlet in St. James that still stands today (that’s right, even back then St. James had everything). With over 40 years of oil in de coil that makes it the oldest international restaurant franchise in Trinidad and older than most people who reading this. We children of the ‘80s and ‘90s grew up on it, always looking forward to the odd Friday or birthday when our parents would buy us a Munch Pack and we’d…
Trinis does always overdo it. We cyah say ‘oh my’ we hadda say ‘OH GAAD OYE!’, we cyah go a free drinks party without bussin’ de bar, and when we get a holiday on a Thursday YUH KNOW we hadda take the Friday off too (just wait and see all who call in ‘sick’ after Divali this week). This innate overreaction manifests itself in all aspects of our lives, including acts of protest. Case in point, the woman who camp outside HDC head office because…
So… unless you’ve been living under a rock – but more likely, a mosquito net – you’ll know that there’s a new virus that have Trinis dropping like flies called Chickungunya or Chick V for short. With Miami Carnival coming up, we at Scorch trying our best to avoid catching it so we decided to stock up on mosquito repellent. But after making ah turn in Hi-Lo Massy stores to cop some OFF!, we find de shelf empty like ah Ministry on a Friday afternoon!…
So we at SCORCH eh no political analysts or finance gurus, but we pay our taxes just like everybody else so we felt we could weigh in on the election goodies Tanty Kams and Uncle Larry had for us. We might be a little late to the party, but we’ll give yuh our two cents anyway: PUMP: New things we like South Quay/City Gate flood alleviation programme “’When it rain, Port-of-Spain in pain, ‘dem drain under strain, so is flood again. My friends, money eh…
In what is being branded as the most outrageous dismissal in recent history, an employee of a local, popular restaurant chain has been sent home for consistently providing good customer service. At the centre of the controversy is twenty-four year old Keisha McGoldteet, a self-described mother of two who keeps it real with the exception of her hair. Having been recently promoted from Junior Cashier to Senior Drive-Thru Officer, McGoldteet found herself in hot water after consistent reports of good service made their way back…
MEN: 1. She uses you to scare off guys she isn’t interested in or to make the ones she is jealous. 2. You’re the first guy she introduces her boyfriend to. 3. You’re also the first guy she calls when she and said boyfriend fight/break up. 4. She’s referred to you at least once as the “brother she never had”. 5. Her parents ask you to spend the night when they’re away to make sure she’s safe. 6. She made a picture of the two…
