You are right. The first psydium plants were imported from Madagascar. They were few but, guess what, birds did a wonderful job spreading psydium seeds across the coastal belt.

You get first prize.

BungBellyMan Django gets second prize.

Congrats!!

Thank you Sir Gil  that was my last answer btw

Nice to see you Django enjoy your prize

Good morning, good people.

This week we have new administration in Guyana but the same old, same old administration in GNI.

Let's start our quiz. This street character wore suit and tie and a hat sometimes. He was judge, lawyer, jury and executioner all rolled up in one. He carried a gallows and a stuffed human figure whom he hanged if a death sentenced was passed. He operated mainly in downtown Georgetown but occasionally travelled to the countryside to entertain school children. Who was he?

Good morning!

He was known as Law and Order

* Looks like you are right.

And who can ever forget ‘Law And Order’ who staged an execution in his push cart everyday, every hour on the hour. During the executions of his rag doll, he gave an address on the evils of crime and the benefits of the British Empire, of laws and order. He was always sole judge, jury and executioner. Curious crowds always gathered around ‘Law And Order’ at Bourda Market and the Public Buildings where he was a regular show stopper. ‘Law And Order’ and his push cart also marched proudly in the Armistice Day parade on November 11, each year, getting loud applause and holding his own with the veterans of many campaigns.

Rev

Correct answer.

Congrats!!

Rev's neck goes into the noose for being presumptious.

Next one.

Three varieties of guava in Guyana are: pear-shaped guava, cherry guava, and strawberry guava. Name the country from which Guyana got its first strawberry guava plants.

This looks like a belly-bung exercise but the answer is out there.

HINT: Don't think that only the coastland has guava trees.

WARNING: You all better get the answer or else I will close down this school.

Good morning

long weekend holiday went to the Ottawa tulip tour.

Queensland, Australia.

* Lemme guess! Since Strawberry guava is native to neighboring Brazil---then a good guess would be Brazil is the country Guyana got its first strawberry guava plant from.

Rev

Good morning, welcome back.

I regret to inform you that your answer is incorrect. Do not attempt this guava quiz again because  a sakiwinki has revealed the answer.

Good morning, Professor. Thanks for your visit.

Yes, sir, in the Rupununi there are strawberry guava trees that originated in Brazil.

You are a great guava guesser, guest.

Congrats, and feel free to come again.

Next one.

Name the first Indo-Guyanese novelist and the title of his first novel.

David Dabydeen and Slave Song

Congrats Rev

Mr. Gilbakka:

* Thanks for the kind and glowing compliments Sir.

* As you are fully aware the Rev has a notorious reputation for being dead wrong in his prognostications over in Political, so it is, indeed, refreshing and rejuvenating to be right wagering a guess over here in social in this challenging and captivating thread.

Rev

* Muchas gracias sweet Anjali. Hope you had a delightful weekend over in neighboring Canada. Our holiday will be next Monday---Memorial day.

Rev

You're welcome and I had a lovely time, wishing you likewise for next Monday

You are miles from the right answer. Try again.

E. A. Mittelholzer  and Creole Chips

E. A. M. was not Indo-Guyanese. Try again.

* Was it Joseph Ruhoman ?

* I'll have to get a copy of his book "INDIA: The progress of her people at home and abroad" ---published in 1894---is it still in print ? Will check.

Rev

Joseph Ruhoman was not a novelist. Try again.

James Kempadoo

Guiana Boy

* OK! Then I'll piggy back on the learned Riya. James was the father Riya.

* Peter "Lauchmonen" Kempadoo wrote Guiana boy in 1960.

Rev

It's Peter Kempadoo aka Lauchmonen. He was the son of James.

"Guiana Boy" was first published in 1960, making Kempadoo the first Indo-Guyanese novelist.

Congratulations.

I met Peter Kempadoo and his wife Rosemary in the 1970s.

One little known trivia: Rosemary Kempadoo and Michael X's Guyanese wife were friends. I often saw them with their kids enjoying ice cream at IDIHO in Brickdam.

I realized right after that James was the dad

Peter Kempadoo

is it "Choti Bahen"? I saw it five times at the Albuoystown cinema...also took my sisters and mother.

He looks like a......hermit

But like a real novelist

He looks like Rabindranath Tagore.
