Sorry, Sheeep, I missed something, the bch has historical value? How much and why? Built in what 1940 out of concrete by an architect who I suspect you don't even know the name of. I think it has zero historical value and no outstanding architectural features remaining after the three or four remodellings it suffered.

I am trying to remember when either of the 3 sail boats that Ms. Phillips sailed on ever sailed at night, maybe one time up to Abaco for the regatta. Personally I love night sailing, one of the best experiences to have. Regardless the Defence Force has some really slack or incompetent navigators. Cant argue with facts.

I was going to post a comment but have just found out that the state security services have a listening device on my phone and are intercepting and copying all my emails. I better shut up and sit small from now on.

Mr. Bacon. Hi, just calling to let you know that PostBoy John has just slandered your good name, you might want to sue him for defamation, OK, bye for now and see you at the club on Sunday.

I suspect diapers and sanitary towels are also environmentally problematical but the push back to banning these items would overwhelm a sitting government.

If Johnboy thinks that This country produces some of the better teachers and nurses worldwide" then he needs to either travel a little or do some research. The educational requirements to become a certified teacher in this country are way lower than those required by any of the European counties. Certainly true for japan and South Korea. Stop drinking before you write your posts, Johnboy, I did and look at how much more sense I make now.

reprint cos it is still relevant.

I always enjoyed the [pictures of SLOP back in the day. It's called needling and creates a visual record which is close to permanent and reflects the opinion of the editor.
