Corbin brother was an actor - Check Wikipedia.

Neville Marshall-Corbin (1934 – 31 March 2006) was a Guyanese cabaret singer, composer and recording artist who moved to England in the 1960s and originally studied acting, performing with the English Stage Company. He was born in Christianburg, Guyana.
His singing style was reflective of Nat 'King' Cole. A nine-time winner of the British TV talent contest Opportunity Knocks, he recorded such popular songs as "Mona Lisa", "How Sweet It Is", and "Come Home Love".
He was best known for the semi-regular role of Burt in the Black British sitcom Desmonds, as a member of The Georgetown Dreamers, a band that featured Desmond (Norman Beaton) and Raye's fellow real-life musicians Porkpie (Ram John Holder) and Vince (Count Prince Miller).
Raye performed several cabaret tributes to Nat Cole and also produced and directed the 1985 TV tribute to Cole entitled "A Nightingale Sang". He was also an opening act for such performers as The Supremes and Eartha Kitt.
His younger brother, Robert Corbin, is the current leader of the Peoples National Congress Reform (PNCR), the main Guyanese opposition political party.
Raye died in London, England on Friday, March 31, 2006 of prostate cancer.

Is this man Peeping Tom?

Former Guyanese slave and Darwin - BBC

Memorial for Darwin slave mentor

Darwin was taught the art of taxidermy by Edmonstone
A memorial to a freed slave who was an unsung early mentor and inspiration to Charles Darwin in 1826, is being unveiled by a London arts venue.
Kings Place, in central London, has commissioned a plaque honouring Guyanese-born John Edmonstone.
Edmonstone is thought to have been key to informing Darwin's decision to study naturalism rather than medicine.
The plaque has been produced with the aid of the Wedgwood porcelain works and is being affixed at a bar in Edinburgh.
John Edmonstone was brought to Edinburgh in 1807 by Charles Edmonstone. When he was freed he took his former master's name.
Edmonstone (John) taught Darwin the art of taxidermy, when the evolution theorist was a student at Edinburgh University, between 1825 and 1827.
Edmondstone had learnt it from Charles' neighbour Charles Waterton.
Porcelain brooches
It was Edmonstone's long accounts of life in the tropical rainforests of South America that were thought to have inspired Darwin's interest in naturalism.
The Wedgwood family, Darwin's extended family, were prominent abolitionists, lead by his cousin Josiah Wedgwood.
The Staffordshire-based Wedgwood company has made the plaque in the style of Josiah Wedgwood's original anti-slavery porcelain brooches.
Dr Alan Wedgwood, ex-director of Josiah Wedgwood & Sons said: "Given the prominent support my ancestors gave to the anti-slavery cause - a cause shared by Charles Darwin - it is entirely appropriate that we should be supporting the memory of an unsung hero such as John Edmonstone."
The plaque is being unveiled at Negociants Bar, in Lothian Street, close to the site of John Edmonstone's dwelling, with the approval of Edinburgh City Council.

Freedy pet peeves

1- Nirmal Rekha and the more than 50 bogus duty-free letters he signed as proved by the GRA’s investigation. ( There was an investigation, there was no wrong doing on Rekha's behalf, and those responsible was dealt with)

2 - Refusal of the US Embassy to grant the Minister of Foreign Trade four years ago a visa to travel to the US ( isn't this a right of the US to refuse anyone visa, everyday people are being rejected at the Embassy. The last I heard this Minister has been going to the US very often, I guess he must be going without a visa )

3 - Refusal to end the radio monopoly.( who needs radio, when you have the internet, grow up Freedy this is the age of technology)

4 - Refusal to accept the Freedom of Information Act. (this is an outright lie)

5 - Refusal to hold an inquiry in the Great Floods of 2005 when the Guyanese people know the floods resulted from the conservancy breach. (Why do you need an inquiry, if the conclusion is already reached by u that there was a breach. He has conviently forgot that the Citizen Initative headed by Joe Singh went in to the Conservancy Dam and did a detail examination, and found no such breach)

6 - The abysmal record of not one major narcotics trafficker being caught on Guyanese soil. (what happen to theM.V.Danielsen, and more recently the AFC financial backer, "pepper cocaine")

7 - The continued delay in the establishment of the DEA office in Georgetown ( Are the Americans really intrested in the office!)

8 - The continued delay in having the anti-money laundering commission. (idiot, the law is before a sectoral committee in parliament for deliberation)

9 - The continued refusal to have the Human Rights Commission ( this requires opposition input, are they willing to do it or will they fillibuster again.)

10 - The deplorable sexual misconduct of two high-level politicians ( who are these persons, he should name them Corbin was accused of rape, Freedy himself might be guilty of selling grades for sexual favors)

11 - The mysterious absence of any charge of corruption against even a third-tier PPP leader, much less those at the second and higher levels. ( if there is no case, how can people be charged, this is not a jungle it is a country)

12 - The abuse of power at UG that exceeded Burnham’s impulses ( what abuses is Freddy refering to? Maybe he should write about how the Council helped him to renew his contract, when the UG administration was going to threw him out.)

13 - The nasty domination of the state-owned media that is worse than when Burnham ruled( there is nothing wrong with government using the state media as part of its public relations efforts, in every decent country this is acceptable)

14 - The retention of a Ministerial Advisor(who) engaged in conduct unbecoming, that Burnham would not have tolerated ( is Freedy Burnham's psychic, how would he know?)

15 - The incredibly cheap sell-out of Guyana’s lands and properties that no PNC Government would have ever contemplated, and no other party except the PPP 16 would ever think of doing ( what is he refering to, and those land that was sold at current market value. I thought that we had all agree that the Private Sector is the engine of growth, so when they get land for development how is that a bad thing)

16 - A blog suspected to be run by people sympathetic to the government that any decent human being would find nauseating, with people photographed having homosexual love and the deliberately false identification of who these people are.( so get your own or rebutt the content, it is similar to rebutting your lies)

Wake up Keith Scott?

Keith Scott who is married to Walter Rodney’s sister is part of the PNC parliamentary team. PNC as we all know were accused of killing Walter, so Scott association with them is a real betrayal to all Guyanese who fought against the PNC in the hard old days.

Come on Keith wake up! It is time to walk away from this murdering outfit.

Whats up with the AFC?

The latest buzz is that the AFC is linked to cocaine. Apparently the link was made by the President during his Babu John speech. Well we await the AFC response. Or will they change their name to Alliance For Cocaine? Ha, lets see what happens.

PNC fundrasing event

How the PNC does raise money?

Basil buy a pig from Felix, a old farmer partner, for $300.

Felix agree to deliver the pig the next day.

Next day, Felix drive up and said, "Sorry Basil, but I have some bad news. De pig dead."

"Well gie me back meh money," said Basil."Worse news boy, I went and spen it already.""OK, then. Just unload the pig."

"Wha yuh go do wid him?" asked Felix."You doan worry, I go raffle him."

"You cyan raffle a dead pig. Yuh mad or what!"

"Who seh so....you makin joke. Watch me. I ent tellin nobody he dead," said Basil.

A month later Felix bounce up Basil in the court. "Basil, wha happen with yuh dead pig boy?"

Basil replied, "Ah raffle him off nuh. Ah sell 500 hundred tickets at 5 dollars and ah rake in $2,500.00""Nobody eh make noise?" asked Felix"Only de fella who win. So ah gie him back he five dollars!"

No wonder Cde. Corbin, then tek the money and put it into CLICO. See two theif mek god laugh.

Corbin and CLICO?

How much money did Corbin have in CLICO? Speculation are that he had more than 100 million dollars. If this is true then the logical next question is where did he get the money from? And did he declare this with the Integrity Commission?

I wonder how much more money he has stashed away in other accounts, and institutions? I guess the PNC members will be asking the "leader" some tough questions soon.

Where are the Jagans?

On the 1st March, 2009 there was an impressive ceremony to commemorate the death anniversary of Dr. Jagan. Many of the top PPP members were in attendance, as shown in the photo. What was conspicuous was the absence of the Jagans? Can somebody explain?

Where in the world is BJ?

Where in the world is president BJ? It was reported that he left Guyana this morning can you guess his destination?

Is Murray still in the PNC?

The latest gossip is whether Winston Murray is still in the PNC. After the fancy retreat at Splashmin certain decisions were made, and apparently it was decided that Murray will continue to appear as if he is PNC so that Corbin would not lose face.

We will see how long the farce will last...

Digicel new phone craze

In a bit to out do GT&T the marketing manager Donavan White has agreed that anyone who ware their phone close to their ears will get a new phone. This promotion will be launch at the Digicel sponsored concert with Allision Hinds. [PS is she related to Sam Hinds], the place of the concert is uncertain.

Raphael Trotman on Domestic Violence

Raphael Trotman the leader of the AFC was asked by a reporter today in parliament whether he beats his wife. He did not give a direct anwser but said that Anthony Quinn perhaps best express his thoughts on the matter, that is "Treat every queen like a whore and every whore like a queen."

I guess we understand how much he values his wife. And imagine this idiot is the leader of the AFC?

Africo Selman interview on Channel 9

In a recent interview on Channel 9, Africo Selman says that she totally agrees with pop singer Madonna that quote," Pussy rules the world'. She said this has been her motto for a while now, that is why she has the boys in the PNC busy.

Those who miss the raw talk interview, please call Channel 9 and ask them to replay it.
