I was screaming at the tv, and when she dived for the line, I knew then that she had given absolutely every possible effort to win. What a thrilling race, and another Gold for The Bahamas !!!

I wish the people in the comments section would stop making sense and asking reasonable questions. That's not how this works - we're all just supposed to accept whatever the Government tells tells us, because we're stupid.

The only problem with putting government on COD (and I agree that this should be done) is that we all know how bloody vindictive they can be. Soon enough government will only do business with companies who are willing to extend credit, until of course, those new companies themselves realise that they aren't going to be paid.....and so the cycle goes round. How ridiculous we have become, thanks to this useless government

How will all these idiot politicians react if / when a member of the opposition decides to read out their bank account balances in Parliament? Hmmmm.......once Pandora's Box is opened and you can say what you like in the House (regardless of the Constitution) then surely we are headed towards sheer anarchy.

If it's a question of believing either government's data, or Moody's, I know which side I'd choose. Government has been trying to fool us for so long that they think they can pull the wool over the eyes of true fiscal experts.

Now would be an opportune time to resign Mr Christie.

Miller really should keep his thoughts to himself. Every utterance is just further proof of what an idiot he is. I've always paid my electricity bills on time.......should I now expect a refund, which would only be fair, to match the amount that delinquent accounts will get as a "write off"? Surely we're all in this together?

watcher says...

Pathetic. The government can find $16 million for its various Carnivals and Music Festivals, but not for tertiary education? This sums up beautifully what is wrong with our leaders, and where their loyalties lie

Dammit - now Customs will make sure that couriers become as inefficient as they are. I suppose there's no hope that Customs will become as efficient as their counterparts?

This is a copy and paste from earlier discussions on the topic of BOB, but should shed some light on the shenanigans that went on....(this is not my original comment, credit should be given to the whosoever originally posted it in the comments section of The Tribune)
