Thank you for clearing up the situation. It was not reported in the press as to whether the choir was invited or not.

In this case, the manager Valera should be fired -- just because his lack of tact, diplomacy and sense of good judgement.

Co-sign. Agree entirely. Perry Christie has been retarded by his mini-stroke the last go round, and the PLP pull his strings as puppetmasters.

Fweddie Boy has realised that he will never achieve his not-so-secret ambition of being PM of the Bahamas. It wasn't for lack of trying.

He tried by being Pindling's "Blue Eyed Boy" and when the rupture in relations came, he formed his own political party, burnt the constitution and told Swindling that he would publish all the inner secrets between them. Pindling told him to publish and be damned at his own peril, and Fweddy saw that discretion was the better part of valour, and tales of bending over for Swindling were better left in the crypt.

He enrolled in the JFK School of Government, returned to the PLP after Swindling offed his mortal coil, and made known his intentions to lead. However Fweddy was never an insider, and he knew it, and the PLP made certain that he never would be. However Pehwy is fwum the same ilk, and gave Fweddy the highest plum job that he could that would keep him outta da way of some serious kleptocracy. That was Foreign Relations, because appearances and swanning around the world wid strange foreigners on the Bahamas dime is right up Fweddie's alley. Appearance mean a lot to Fweddy. He was mortified that his brother was sentence to jail in Fox Hell.

So now Fweddy is just trying to pee on all four corners of his bounds of authority, mainly as a self-aggrandizement exercise to prove that he is impo'tant to the running of the Bahamas. Sad.

Hallelujah! Has James Smith finally stopped drinking the PLP Kool Aid? Or maybe his boss Ferguson at CFAL would slap him up one side of the head and down the other for stupid partisan pronouncements. For CFAL to maintain business confidence, they can't have a chair spouting untrue PLP monkey chatter.

However, he still is blind. He says that he doesn't see things getting any worse. There is still something wrong with his judgement. Things are on a downward trend and they are getting worse as time goes by.

Liar! For a minute I thought that maybe you were 50% human. Nope -- all the PLP in you is animal evil.

When one considers that the North American economic rate for inflation is about 1.6% and the Bahamian economic is growing at 1.5%, what does that tell you about economic growth?

Why would they use the word "mild" when growth is at a statistical standstill or even regressive?

This is pure comedy from a depraved person.

Thank you for your comment birdie. Another PLP partisan digs deep for intellectual insight. Always refreshing -- never true, but always refreshing and even sometimes entertaining. Just like going to the zoo.

Interesting. Several years ago -- 2008, I think, I was having the crab cakes at Compass Point and I met a British visitor who was enjoying them as well. He was the Athletic Drug Czar of the UK (head of anti-doping) and he came to have a meeting with the BADC and Bahamas Olympic Committee.

The man was a total professional, and he went on to another high profile job, but he did say that he was frustrated with the Bahamians because they wouldn't adopt the strict standards of the major players, but instead had their own home-grown anti-doping protocols that were severely behind the times, and prone to easy circumvention. He did mention that there was no checks and balances to prevent athletes going to "family doctors" to get prescriptions that were on the banned lists.

Things that make you go hmmmmmm.
