Remember when you ware "Burnham Bedding" uniform and the sun would bleach it the first have of the school year and you was poor so your mother turn it over and sew it inside out.Remember when everybody use to wear Bata yattin and the "sweet girls use to walk to school with black polish and shoe brush so when the yattin got dust you stop in the middle of the road to brush it.Remember when there was one or two chldren in the class who had parent or grandparents outside and the would get fancy eraser or the long fat pencil that had a string around there neck.You couldn't borrow it unles ou were their friend.Remember when you pass comon entrance you might a watch or a bicycle and you was a big thing cause most times your teacher did not even have a watch.remember when you wearing your stockings and it started to stran you put what ever colour nail polish to the begining and the end to stop it from running more.remember back in the day a tin of Johnson and johnson baby powder was bady powder was,face powder,you dash lil under arms and lil in the underwear.Remember when we used to wash engine grease then boil it to put in our hair then when we go in the "Bat" and the disco light come on you know all who got engine grease in their hair and when you couldn't buy dark and lovely you made your owm by mixing caustic that some body sneak out the fence. |

remember if you got caught peeping at dogs when they were doing their thing you got a licking to remember.
ok boys all who guilty of boring holes in the latrine from the male side to peep over in the female side "put up your hands" and man every post was a batty cleaner no news paper or exercise book leaf then the post in the latrine was the order of the day
remember when every body took pride in keeping their yard and drains clean.
Why pit in crescent cenima was so over run with bed bugs and oh man, the smell coming from there was like a septic tank
remember when the frontage of Mackenzie market park had benches and flowering plants. morning noon or evening man was it ever beautiful
remember when you get home late at night you throw a handful of salt over your shoulder and don't look back or jumby will follow you in the house
if your husband/wife died you wore red under wear to keep him/her from coming to you for "you know what"
remember when the parents slept on the one bed and the children slept on rice bags with some bedding on it.
remember if you point at a dead or a coffin you had to bite all ten of your fingers |

remember when the health inspectors came to the school you had to strip down to your underwear for them to check you out. to this day I still wonder what in heaven's name they were looking for and if they ever found.
remember when the constables came at 6 o,clock p m to turn on the street lights and back at 6:30 a m to turn them off.
remember when ever people saw Mr L, who worked at the dead house bathing and dressing the dead approaching they would scatter and run for they life I mean man, woman and child you would think the devil in hell was behind them, gang way he coming. some of the braver souls would pass him, but not without start saying their hail Mary.
remember if you were not working with the bauxite company you could not come to Mackenzie unless you had a pass and if you lost your job the constables escorted you to the only boat landing and you were banished to Wismar. hey,hey we had we own South Africa but we din kno much bout the outside world den
remember world history in school you had to know the head of state for all the major countries and draw their maps and know where they were situated. as for the islands,it was a must you had to know the name of every island in the caribbean/west indies all of them and their heads of state draw their maps and oh, you had to know their capitals and their major foods and exports.

You remember: ole grady say. when the person giving the orders tired ah playing, he/she would sey ole grady sey mark time, ole grady sey make a right turn and march up the road, you gone almost 2 blocks from home and ole grady aint saying stop and turn back. so much licking pass when you get back to yo house yo get real vex and a falling out pass, yo aint talking to the order giver for the next 6 weeks.
What about : hot bread and butter fine yo master supper,
what about: harky parky
what about: I see you
what about: there is a fire on de mountain
What about: cut in/ cut out with the baby finger we cut in if i spot you with a piece of candy i shout cut in and you must give me the piece size that we had cut in for many bad friends were made.
remember dog and tail
remember ring games were not permitted, parents said you calling death. ring ah ring ah rosy did not stand a chance
remember when 5 o,clock ganging up and looking to see which neighbour guava, malacka or cane ripe and as soon as dust fall every man up a tree,or breaking cane, but if your parents got hold of the happening they beat you and beat your friends too, and they not finish yet they still going to tell your friend parents about the event so some people got 2 sets of licking.
remember tying string on a belt and pulling it across the road when you saw someone coming or better yet if you were lucky to get a real dead snake you tie it put it across the road and you hid under the front steps the little ones was the look out, some body coming pull pull
remember the real shave ice and syrup the guy came with a big block of ice on the cart and a metal shaver, and oh nothing like sugar sling with lime juice
remember when rain fall boys and girls no clothes on, enjoying the freshness of the shower running all around and up the stairs, down the stairs. this would go on until the rain stopped falling and your mother would throw you a towel to dry up

Thanks Shrimpy.I remember crean soda and carnation milk.It was even better if you had a nice tennis roll and cheese.Remember when it was blackout and there was full moon we were in our late teens and early twentys and enjoyed playing salpass in the moon light.Of course you played bare foot and if there was black out there was the possibilty that water was not runniy on the hill at the end of the night we all went home dusted our feet off and went straight to bed. |

The game mushae is with three drink corks and a shirt button, you show your friend the button and cover it with one cork and then shuffel it and your friend had to tell you which cork it's under and the winner gets a rubberband. Talking bout drink, remember cream soda and milk? Buy that thing was so nice.They had a drink sweet drink as we used it called tonic and lime ricky and Puma make you fart every hour. Never fart in front your girlfriend because you will feel shame and now you're ,married to her, you're farting hard like a ship horn for her to hear.
Come on people give me some more. I'm enjoying this. I wis we can all meet at a backyard bar-b-que at my house summer time and play music and talk all about these good old days. |

remember when we would spin the buck top and see who own would would keep spinning the longest. first colour with the rubber bands. you hold a rubber band in your hand and someone would have to guess what colour it was and war break,during the summer the game could go on all day,you would sneak home and eat lunch and the go back to war. |

There were 3 hugh mango tree in the back of Mackenzie Primary School when those trees were in bearing, you could watch but you cant touch. We had a wonderful Head Master A W Thomas. when those mangoes reached time for picking, at 1pm on a friday afternoon the older boys were sent up to pick and drop the older girls would pick up and place them in these large bins. When school ended at 3 p m, every pupil was sent class by class (no confusion) to the back and was given 3 mangoes to the older ones, 2 to the young ones. But believe me we always debated how much mangoes the teachers who were placed to supervise and or hand out got. Wan moe thing all awe tamarin, green mango, golden apple, green five finga, half ripe malacka, wid salt and peppa, we chip/grate suga cake, that dem teachers tek from we is wha hapen to it. we used to go lok in de garbage afta school but neva could fine dem. chek them teacha desk notten ah only know some adem always had a smile on dey face. |

O beautiful Guyana
O my lovely native land
More dear to me than all the world
Thy sea-washed, sun-kissed strand
Or down upon the borders
Looking out upon the deep
The great Atlantic
Blown into a fury, or asleep.
At morn, at noon - or better
In the crimson sunset?s glow
I love thee, Oh I love thee. |

I am so sick and tired of a whole bunch of yall always talking about the people that go home. Some of you swear you know everything. Every time you come on this site it's one shit after another. One bullshit after the next. This website wasn't created to run each other down, it was created so that we can come on and be a community. Some of yall need to get a damn life. No one puts a gun to anyone's head and make them do anyhting. No one can take somebody man or woman away unless they want to be taken. So stop talking stupid shit. Some of you probably jealous yall ass can't go anywhere. Stop lumping everyone in a whole group. There are alot of people that go home just to have fun without looking for somebody eles's man or woman and just come home to have fun because we know how hard this place is and to see our family. It's funny that no other community behave the way us Linden people behave towards each other. Now I know some of you are going to respond and cuss and talk nonsense, but if it doesn't apply to you take no offence, but to the ones that always have shit to talk I will expect it from you. Stop looking into other people's back yard and tend to your own. |
