Anyone in that position of island administrator who can convict also knows that he can grant
bail .V.Alfred Gray in his position as MP for the constituency and cabinet minister in charge of
local government happens to be Mr.Newbold's boss and the young man in question is Mr.
Gray's constituent and his family is probably known to Mr.Gray.
That may be a syndrome of MPS for the area as a former MP, the late Wilbert Moss went to
jail for trying to get then magistrate Cleopatra Christie to not convict a constituent of his who
appeared before her on a drug charge

We have to remind them that Obama said that marijuana is no worse than alcohol, we are
trying to help them out just like in the bootlegging days. We have to get some Kennedys
in on it again.

You can bet your sweet pippy it is , just like our school grades!

This is a subject that i had intended to address myself. When the Hobby Horse Hall Race
Track closed in 1977, i was the youngest horse owner at the track,just having bought a
thoroughbred race horse, the same breed that sells at auctions nowadays,that with top blood
lines and conformation going for more than $1 million.The horse that i bought in 1976 cost
$1100,but was worth much more ,because my young Bahamian trainer used to work on a
horse farm owned by the O'Farrell family, the most prominent name in Ocala, the capital of
horse farms in Florida. My trainer told Mr. O'Farrell that he wanted some good horses to
upgrade the breed in Nassau and with his influence at the Ocala auction,he had the hammer
stopped on three horses that my trainer bought for myself and two others, allowing us to by
horses that we could not normally afford.
Our horses did well and we were looking at a bright future in horse racing, when the late PLP demigod announced that the race track was going to close because he needed the property to build a convention centre and 1977 being an election year, a tract of land was cleared down for the new race track on Gladstone Road , but in typical PLP fashion , after they were reelected ,the trees grew back and the convention centre was never built .
Incidentally,i was able to show my children the grandstand where horse racing fans used to sit in 1977,almost thirty years later, which was was not broken down until BahMar developed the property , which now shows the beautiful lake with the boardwalk.

For once in a long time the Christian is saying something that most of the Bahamas
agree with.! hooray! My suggestion is for them to lead a boycott and demonstrations
throughout the country NOW against this charade,(even though this might be difficult
for most of these PLP revs,who serve two masters,God and the PLP). We all know that
carnival brings out the carnal nature of men and women. I for one will readily admit that
when i saw clips of Carnival in Trinidad all i wanted to see is the scantily clad women,to
hell with the costumes! Let it stay in Trinidad and wherever else.

Perry Christie should ask them to rescue us even more by taking over the running
of the country for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if you noticed the picture ,but Perry has been depending on the Chinese so
much that ,check the picture again, he almost looks Chinese. His favourite food has
probably changed from peas and rice to shrimp fried rice.

@pat242,only on a few occasions i have heard such bias reasonings as yours. I for one am a Bahamian who dislikes most of the foreign influences
in our country, from the radio personalities with their affected American
accent,the music they play,sagging pants,etc. I could go on the another twenty lines ,but i think you see my point .To bring Carnival to the Bahamas initially investing all that money,just to show skimpily clad bodies
is a disgrace,because when i think of Junkanoo i think of our culture, when i think of Carnival i think of sexy bodies,pure hedonism! i want one of those girls ,or two,or three! Everyone who goes to Carnival anywhere has similar thoughts ,boys,girls,party ,drinking and sex,to hell with the beautiful costumes!
That money should have been spent on education,healthcare,social services etc, where you get a return on the people not the money

They are cutting back on the laps and introducing Carnival, for how many DAYS?......Soon
it will be no laps. i guess we should adopt a Trini accent too. And they made y'all believe
that they believe in Bahamians! They only believe in our gullibility!

Internationally is should be ,but nationally it isn't . remember we had a late demi-god
accept $750,000 to help build his mansion from a white man at the grand bahama port authority and that was no big deal !!!
