TIVOLI GIRLS FIGHT FOR SOLDIERS
Posted by ShopinJA in Featured Post on June 16th, 2010
A shortage of men in west Kingston is said to have caused female residents to be fighting for the affection of soldiers who are now posted in the community.
During a recent trip to the area, residents told tales of what they have been through the last few weeks but afterwards spoke of the actions of some of the women while describing it as shocking, but understandable.
“A di same man dem weh dem did a seh a bomb dem up eno …Yes mi dear, dem woman yah nuh easy, dem dung yah all a pop big fight ova di soldier dem now,” one resident, who claimed to have witnessed one of the recent encounters, said.
THE STAR heard there were at least two fights in the last two weeks but nobody has been seriously injured.
In the last incident, one female reportedly got jealous after seeing an ‘enemy’ of hers sitting and chatting with a soldier.
There was reportedly a subsequent altercation and both women argued openly as to who the soldier wanted, and even threw blows at each other. The soldier over who they were fighting reportedly had to step in to quell the fracas.
While in the company of a group of at least six women, THE STAR was told that those who have resorted to having relations with members of the security forces have done so because their lovers are gangsters who have fled the community, leaving them behind.

Popular local singer Aisha Davis is now before the court after she was accused of beating up a co-tenant at her house.
Davis appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court yesterday after she was charged with unlawful wounding.
Her attorney entered a not guilty plea when her client appeared before Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey.
The complainant told the court that she and Davis are co-tenants and share a kitchen together at their home. She informed the court that she was assaulted after she had a disagreement over the usage of kitchen utensils and the division of kitchen space.
The complainant further told the court that Davis often spoke in a condecending manner, as if she is a child. She alleged that on the day in question, Davis attacked her and knocked her partially unconscious.
The complainant said that she was also dragged along the ground, pinned to the ground and repeatedly punched in the face while she was on the ground.
The complainant said she was later rescued by her boyfriend who was elsewhere in the house, but came to her aid after he heard the uproar. She said when she regained full consciousness, her boyfriend told her that he had to remove a knife from her attacker’s grasp.
The Grants Pen police are said to have been called to the location.
BOLT’S NEW FAST CAR
Posted by ShopinJA in Featured Post on October 14th, 2009
Yesterday after getting his latest toy, a 2010 Nissan GTR, world 100m record holder, Usain Bolt, was invited to take his car this weekend to Dover for a gentlemanly race.
Bolt was invited after JRDC Driver’s Championship contender, Douglas ‘Hollywood’ Gore heard of his new acquisition. Gore also invited former record holder, Asafa Powell to the event as well.
The Nissan GTR replaces a 2009 BMW M3 which Bolt overturned on the Highway 2000 toll road earlier this year. Asafa Powell is also the proud owner of a Black Series CLK C63 Mercedes, which is the 575 hp version of the already hot Kompressor C-Class.
Exotic supercar
Bolt, the fastest man in the world, drove away in the exotic supercar after a brief photo opportunity at Worldtron Motors, Chelsea Avenue, St Andrew, yesterday. The twin turbo charged Nissan GTR is rated at 485 hp and has a top speed of 190+ mph. Purchase price is estimated at more than 110,000 pounds sterling (J$15,400,000).
In describing Bolt’s new car, Gore said: “The M3 was more of a sporting sedan; I think the GTR is probably one of the ultimate sports cars. Knowing that it is a four wheel drive vehicle with traction aids, it should give Bolt more control. It is easier to drive and safer at speed.”
