We do know that the officer, in fear of his life ... potentially this could have been a robbery on the officer and he had to protect himself.
I think I was frustrated early on because we weren't playing very well. I guess we woke up. We got things together, got things rolling.
We fought and took their best shot. We weren't really able to get ours, so we're just happy to get this win. We really fought hard for it.
We fought and fought and fought. I think we took their best shot without ever being able to deliver ours.
We haven't beaten a team that was ranked so high by as many points. Usually, they're pretty close games. I think we just played an excellent all-around game. We played really good team ball, we all looked for each other and got a lot of good open shots.
Usually (these showdowns) are pretty close. We were able to keep running and running.
We had one subject who was identified by residents and reportedly was bragging to residents that he would have some good stuff to pass out.
Trinidad's language is a fusion of English, African, and French, and so we have our own words and even our own dictionary. Steupse is a common local word, and it's the onomatopoeic word for the sound people make to show disapproval, or to show they are vexed, when they suck their teeth together.
Trinidadians love speaking their own English; it's full of poetic forms and can be playful and lyrical and comical. Trinidadians are verbal acrobats, and I love being on the island just to hear the people speak.
New Year's Eve is not about having a big party for me. It's a time of reflection, and I often go on spiritual retreats.
No, no, it's just scheduling. It's just the location, where they can get the trainer available, where they know they'll be able to get a crowd on a certain date.
While I am most at home in London, I cannot really label myself as either British or Trinidadian. I write in the English language and live in the U.K. I find it hard to say that I am an entirely British writer, especially when I supported Trinidad in the 2006 World Cup and also support the West Indies cricket team.
We were expecting them to come back. They're a really good team, so I wasn't surprised.
When she pulls me over and it's like, 'I was open, you could have given me the ball,' then I know she really wants it. I think she's a lot more confident, which helps her be more willing to make a move or shoot the ball when she gets it.
