On the day we arrived in Tobago, driving back from the ferry station, our chatty host Judy mentioned that 80% of young people on the island suffer from AIDS. A quick google search proved that unlikely number to be false, but there does seem to be a high sense of public awareness over the disease throughout the country. A lot of public service announcements are shown on TV, often during the cricket, advising people on condom use and safe sex.
I don't know why they waste their money, since the live cricket coverage already incorporates the best possible form of contraception: watching Scott Styris' face as you listen to Damien Fleming's voice.
i take offense to the last comment made in this post d'enrico, whoever you are. i actually feel styris is quite an attractive young man. I also want to point out that nothing has highlighted this world cup like damien fleming's insights into swing bowling. the sea breeze that engulfs the carribbean will play a major role in the outcome of this world cup and flemo' and now myself have supreme knowedge on this matter.

Yeah, nah... good comment, that. I guess Styris has some attractive features, if guys who look like bloated, feather-less chickens with Avian flu are your thing. And hey, don't get me wrong, Flemo's trenchant insights on the art of swing rock my world like everyone else's, it's just that night-shift truck-stop-attendant voice of his that grates me. Maybe if they could set him up with a Stephen Hawking voice box or something...
