A BROWNLING LIVING IN BIM, who used to live near where Gayle and Bolt reside, and who is always talking about the good ole days at Hampton, Westwood & Munroe, has made it clear that he don’t care what people ’bout here say about him.
He ain’t hiring no lotta Bajans who looking to work and don’t pay no taxes. He made the point crystal clear to all those gathered recently when he also indicated that with interest in the single digits, Bajans can’t be demanding anything.
This man, who despite all the grand talk is in love with Bim and will either stay here or retreat to the southern United States when his time is over, has had many a run-in with his gracious hosts. All fingers were pointed to him when the big leak took place regarding the forever money-losing regional airline.
By George, all eyes and ears are on him and the jobs available west of his fort.
And the strange thing is while he builds up a hate list, people find the lady from Irvine who follows him is so gracious and enchanting.
Succession plan a must
AFTER A RESPITE near the Alps and enjoyment of some of the breeze coming from surrounding lakes, the Pouting Princess is back home.
True, it was not about rest and relaxation, but some work that the crusader was out and about. But that break came at a time when despite all the hot air and long talk, the investors from Canada took a tough stand.
The big point that is being made clear to the Pouting Princess is that a clear succession plan must be put in place and that the retired head teacher can no longer be in charge when the new principal is away.
Indeed, the people want to be in solidarity with the Pouting Princess, but said things must be sorted out quickly. When a report is made on August 29, the hope is, however, that a second-in-command would be in place and the former head teacher would be able to stay home and enjoy a well deserved rest.
His plate runneth over
STRANGER THAN FICTION. That’s the best way to describe some of the unaccountable things happening at Government-owned businesses.
There is still a big concern relating to the quantum of food a man eats in any one month from a fancy kitchen near Gravesend. The staff where this political appointee sits in what should be a position of strategy and vision want to know why he must be transported up and down and all around by the business’ messenger. He is being described as “hand to mouth” and acting as if he is in an operational position.
The people also want to know why this man’s friend, who lords it over all the land from the coastline on the west to The Hill and all in between, whether farm land or otherwise, is granted so free a hand.
The talk is about a woman to whom he has not only given generous study leave but thousands of dollars to go along with it.
Legacy ball missing
WHILE MOST EYES were focused on the field and the brilliant performances from the Tridents this past week in the Caribbean Premier League, there was a lot of talk in some of the fancy boxes at the Oval about the Legacy Barbados which was to have flowed from the Cricket World Cup 2007.
What has happened to it?
That was the refrain over and over again from many there.
Other questions were: Who has benefited?
What are the results we can point to?
Has the entire thing died a natural death?
Will anyone ever fully explain?
