  1. In todays Nation Pastor Wesley C. Dear made mention of his trials and tribulation after purschasing land for 1 million dollars an then being prevented from building because the land was in zone 1.

    Pastor Wesley C. Dear may yet have to tell the rest of us what is the approach he use to get the land on which his church sits to be changed from ZONE 1 designation. There was a Land owner in Sandylane that could not get such a rezoning without selling an option in his land to persons with connection. Share de wealth of inside knowledge Wesley. 😀


  2. And here I was thinking this was the thread to congratulate Rihanna.
    Adrian Hinds
    Frankology
    Freedom Lover

    You all should at least have some manners and apologise for hijacking this thread for your petty senseless arguments.
    I am sure David has a thread for you kids to play in.


  3. Technician so far your only contribution to the thread hasn’t been to congratulate Rihanna, so i hope you can lead the way with apologizing. 😀

    Rihanna is reported to have exclaimed “Barbados we have one”

    I ask What can Barbados do with a grammy???


  4. Frankology,

    I was trying to think of a word to describe you. You came up with it. The word is simpleton. Your poor grammar and the non intellectual statements that you routinely post make it very clear to most people that you are indeed a simpleton.

    Unfortunately, the least educated Barbadians are the ones who do the most posting on this and other blogs. You do not realize how bad you make yourselves look. With every misspelled word and grammatical error, you expose your ignorance.


  5. Adrian Hinds:

    Sorry but my annoyance with what you and company did to the thread just made me stop.

    You are right and I apologise for not doing it then so here it is …I would like to take this time to congratulate Rihanna on her latest achievement, a Grammy award.

    As to what Barbados can do with a Grammy ….I really dont know but to see a young talented Bajan realise her dreams, is satisfaction for me.There is still hope for our youth.

    Your turn.


  6. Bajan Girl,

    You are a brave soul! But you going get bare licks for your comments about grammar. You’ll send these people into fits of apoplexy because they have enormous chips on their shoulders over the bad grammar thing. Know what they will tell you? “IT ISN’T ABOUT THE GRAMMAR, IT’S ABOUT GETTING A POINT ACROSS!” Good luck, girl!

    Bajan Girl,

    You are a brave soul! But you going get bare licks for your comments about grammar. You’ll send these people into fits of apoplexy because they have enormous chips on their shoulders over the bad grammar thing. Know what they will tell you? ****“IT ISN’T ABOUT THE GRAMMAR, IT’S ABOUT GETTING A POINT ACROSS!”**** Good luck, girl!
    =============================

    Is that not the truth? It is hardly a chip on someone’s shoulder, when they respond to the self appointed language mavens who continue to point out grammar and spelling errors made by others, not out of any need to better understand opinions that are otherwise unclear due to said errors, but clearly to demean, to put down, and too shut up. I will never be a party to this behaviour and as such I am rising to Frankology’s defense, as it is pellucid in Bajangirls comments that she intends to be blatantly offensive, …..and i am defending Frankology, even if i believe that he had earlier sought to be a language maven to win an argument with me.


  8. See what I mean, Bajan Girl?!!


  9. me // February 11, 2008 at 2:32 pm

    Adrian Hinds, I hope you get deported back to Barbados so that you have to deal with homosexuals on a regular basis…. my bad you already live in Boston so this should be nothing new Or is it just the bajan homsexual that you do not like… You doth protest to much for a supposedly str8 man!
    ==============================

    On de deporting ting: It is not likely to occur. Unlike Barbados the US is truly a nation of laws, and given my status and the fact that said status was attain to the letter of the law and can withstand the toughest scrutiny, I can give this assurance.

    I am a gem of a person, I really am, 😀 and i get along well with everyone and their personal preferences is never an issue for me, unless there is an attempt to involve me in someway. Now I am a little mystified as to your comments about homosexuality regarding anything i have said so far in this thread.


  10. Thistle // February 11, 2008 at 8:59 pm

    See what I mean, Bajan Girl?!!
    =============================

    What i said isn’t what you attempted to convey by way of your upper case lettered end statement. In my response I clearly laid out my grevience, such that the those who often times highlight grammar and spelling mistakes usually do so out of malice and little else, while your contention was that one would object to good grammar and spelling solely on the basis that such is not needed to get a point across. Don’t you see the difference?

    What you told Bajan girl was not proven by my response.


  11. IT ISN’T ABOUT THE GRAMMAR, IT’S ABOUT GETTING A POINT ACROSS!”**** Good luck, girl!
    ……………………………………………………………………..
    Who ever you are bajan girl, I will state without being offensive that you will take hours to come up with an idea to write about. You might be sitting with all types of dictionaries around you so that you might look good. But let me tell you something Miss Grammatical correct, blogs are not English tests, but geared for speed to get your point across within a time limit. We bloggers take no more than 2 minutes to reply to comments with facts, sometimes we are replying to over 10 comments on different subjects from different blogs, we are blessed with a library of information that surpass your lousy, personal and jealous attack on Rihanna. As a matter of fact, you wrote a hold lot of crap without logic and probably, you might be a selfish UWI scholar.

    By the way, I have School Leaving, ‘O’ levels, Dale Carnegie and BIMAP qualifications. I was MC at various graduations and I know my English. Tell the public how many articles to submitted to these blogs. Probably, you might be writing another article to meet March your deadline.

    Go back to your facebook and talk about who got who, and who is a druggy, these blogs are for the lower class with the wizardry of any Economist, Health expert, Environmental knowledge, Social issues and the ability to differentiate right from wrong.


  12. Clearly, my posting that link and comments about the Grammy, were a waste of time!!

    Sorry!!!!


  13. tell maureen bryant at kings count hospital what she has to say now her father was there and her dress was nice so say no more eat your heart out negative maureen


  14. tell maureen bryant at kings count hospital what she has to say now her father was there and her dress was nice so say no more eat your heart out negative maureen


  15. Did you use the word ‘malice’, Adrian Hinds? Well not everyone is like you. You are well acquainted with malice and spite, and anyone reading old BLP blogs (2005/2006) would know that.


  16. We are loathed to intervene here guys but just to give you a heads-up that this article is being read by people ALL over the world. You might consider taking your sparring to one of the other topics. We are asking nicely, OK?

    David


  17. For once I have to agree with Bimbro………..geez!


  18. About friggin’ time David!!

    Imagine someone looking at this thread hoping to read something about Rihanna …….only to come across this ‘battle of egos’.


  19. Thistle // February 12, 2008 at 6:47 am

    Did you use the word ‘malice’, Adrian Hinds? Well not everyone is like you. You are well acquainted with malice and spite, and anyone reading old BLP blogs (2005/2006) would know that.
    ==============================

    David just so you know, I will not have a problem if you see it fit to delete my post from this thread. I agree with Technician, I was having way to much fun with this. I am no fan of Rihanna or the entertainment culture as a whole, however it is still wrong for me to contribute to the destruction of the thread. Seriously please clean it up.

    Thistle : I get the impression that you have something to tell me. I am not above joining with someone to look at my actions to see if what they are contending has merit and is in need of correction, explanation, or an apology. I am very willing to hear your concerns about anything i have said. If you like you can join me on any forum of your choice so that we can talk about your concerns of my actions. What specific post of mine on the BLP blog has you concern? Who was it that my “malice” on the BLP blogs was directed at?


  20. Frankology,

    You say you love Rihanna, but you, along with Adrian Hinds and the other semiliterates who post on a regular basis, hijacked this thread to talk about a comment you sent to BFP and to argue about something that has absolutely nothing to do with Rihanna.

    You are a phony. You post just to see your elementary school level rantings in print. At least I was on topic when I discussed Rihanna. Educated people are capable of looking at things from more than one angle, analyzing things, and disagreeing with people without resorting to name calling.

    People like you and Samizdat, who posted above, have to resort to name calling. If you disagreed with me, you could have simply said you disagreed with me and then wrote your opinions. Instead you both resorted to personal attacks. That is what uneducated, immature people do.

    I resorted to name calling above, because I have come to the conclusion that there are few educated people to converse with on this blog and the only way to deal with semiliterates like you is to stoop to your level, at least temporarily.

    By the way, I do not use a dictionary while typing my responses. I attended decent schools and learned how to write properly and think analytically. I do not become star struck by people like Rihanna, because I grew up around people who did more important things than sing.

    I am not a follower. People like you would like everyone to jump on the Rihanna bandwagon and sing her praises without looking at some of the negative things she has done, but I won’t do that. I can think for myself.

    For every one tourist Rihanna attracts to Barbados by mentioning Barbados on a TV show, two or three will be turned off by the many negative comments she has made about Barbadians that will stay on the internet for years to come. You are too stupid to realize that.

    I won’t post anything else until a reasonably intelligent person posts something I feel strongly about. I know I will be waiting a long time for an intelligent person to post on this blog.


  21. Do you wonder that I find so many Barbadians, frankly, weird!!!!


  22. David,

    If you really wanted this to end, I am sure you would have ended it long ago. I am sure you have the capability to keep off topic postings off of threads.

    Someone who runs the BFP blog recently said that, essentially, even negative postings that contain popular names like Rihanna will cause people around the world who key in the name to stumble upon the BFP site, thereby increasing the number of visits to the site.

    You, David, are a part of this game.

    Every day the same small band of narrow minded people post. You need to try to ecourage more intelligent people to post on the site. As long as you allow the likes of Frankology and Adrian Hinds to hijack the threads, we will all be subjected to the low level discourse that we have been getting.

    Soon, most people will simply stop visiting this site.


  23. Bajan girl, you can with the same free access to wordpress blogs, demonstrate to BU and BFP how to capture the eye of “intelligent” people. I am assuming you are one of them.

    ….I will only agree to refrain from “hijacking” the thread,… however, I will not be deterred by the constraints of my “narrow mind”, from responding to anything that i see fit to so do.

    …..Your penchant for attempting to win the argument (it is nakedly apparent) by focusing on grammar and spelling is a childish tactic, as is your name calling and prophecy of future poor visitation to this site. In your anger you seem not aware that the strength of these blogs is not in the comment section, but in the articles which are read by the vast majority of visitors, as they would a Newspaper. Most readers of the articles are not concern with what is said here or they themselves do not care to past a comment, as they are probably looking for news only. So your poorly stated belief that it is bad grammar or hijacking of threads that results in the same crowd repeatedly posting is at this point unfounded. In fact i would argue that were it not for the usual “too few” consistently posting that the comment section would be boring and give persons like you the impression that the blogs have poor attendance.

    There is a blog for the righteous, intelligent, self important commentators. Try notesfromthemargin.wordpress.com 😀

    I am sure you will be miss. 😀


  24. You are simply pathetic Bajan Girl. You’re possibly speaking with ‘tongue in cheek’ we believe your jealous statement.
    …………………………………………………………………….
    Ms (educated) Bajan Girl, do tell the public where is the name calling. I asked if you were nineteen, to find out if you were around the same age as Rihanna, thus your criticism. But alas, you start off talking about grammar.

    Since you are that educated and ‘tring to be grammatically correct’ why the hell fail to post information on the blogs. Or you can only deal with one subject per year.

    Your whole article on Rihanna is lined with prejudice, egotistical, narcissistic, anger due to you not able to achieve such goals, thus the reason for your anger.

    Commenters on these blogs are highly qualified people who use this forum to debate topical issues. These people deal with Politics including Governance, Economics, Social Issues etc. Some others deal with Race, Education, Sports, Religion and the list goes on.

    Now, to your statement of “educated and intelligent people’. Commenters on these blogs are Lawyers, politicians, doctors, teachers, CEO’s, Marketing experts, artisans,
    along with the man-in-the-street. Regardless of grammar or ‘fake’ intellectual like you, these people play an important part in raising and debating issues even before the main stream media; and even before our politicians.

    So Ms Intelligent, Grammatical correct, you can go and start your own Blog for the Intellects and leave we the ‘uneducated’ posters.


  25. I am glad that the Government of Barbados, especially our Prime Minister, acknowledged the feat of this International Songster, we as a people should be elated with our own getting on the world stage, in front millions of viewers and acknowledging her country. Rihanna is still a growing lady and she might say something that will offend somebody, buy what the heck, statesmen and stateswomen do utter statements that offend others but we must move on, and Rihanna is moving on. Her statements are coming over more mature as she grows. But we must take down our defenses and the negativity and accept the lady for who she is, and stop the comparison of others who were stars and fell from grace. She might be the difference. Hail our Grammy winner, Rihanna, I rest my case.


  26. I assume that bajan girl is around 19. She has the know-it-all-ness of someone of that age. Let her be as she will find out sooner or later that she has issues. Rihanna is a young person who of course has made and will make mistakes. She will have to remember when to say “no comment.” She will learn who she can trust to publish accurate interviews/articles about her. All the negative things that you claim she has said were true and reflected someone who was hurt by Barbadians reactions to her success. I think in hindsight she probably regrets making those statements but she clearly loves Barbados and I think the majority of people following her career can see this unlike you Bajangirl!

    You need to let go of your insecurities dear!


  27. 10 posts since David intervened……………same topic being discussed.

    Oh well ……..that’s life.


  28. Oh my goodness. You people need to relax.
    1)She is proud to be Barbadian despite your best efforts to make her and everyone who supports her feel cautious or weary of her pride.
    2)If she had gone on that stage and NOT mentioned Barbados, wait, if she had NEVER acknowledged Barbados in anything she did, you all would be all over her, not that she owes Barbados much!
    3)She is a GRAMMY WINNER! Most of you might only win most annoying internet user if we had a JackA** awards. If she becomes a ‘bad girl’ it won’t make people say “Oh, she’s from Barbados, let’s not got here” to think that is asinine and impractical. What anything she does will in effect do is keep Barbados in the mouths of reporters and the minds of potential tourists.

    Do you wonder that we find so many English, frankly, mad!!!


  30. Sorry…….couldn’t resist 🙂


  31. Adrian and Frankology,

    I am not angry. I find both of you and some of the others comical. I know I said I would not post again until someone intelligent said something, but I could not resist the following:

    Adrian,

    Today, I taught six year olds to put “ed” on the end of words to form the past tense. You obviously never learned that grammar rule. Instead of saying “You will be miss,” you should have said, “You will be missed.” Instead of saying, “Most readers of the articles are not concern…,” You should have said, “Most readers of the articles are not concerned…”

    Frankology,

    You should have said I wrote a “whole” lot of crap, not “hold” lot of crap. You should have said “grammatically correct,” not “grammatical” correct.

    In the future, you can both avoid this ongoing nonsense if you would just post your opinions and let everybody else post their opinions without attacking them. You can’t expect everybody to agree with you.

    I now rest my case.


  32. I forgot to type Bajan Girl in the name space for the posting addressing Adrian Hinds and Frankology above.


  33. I dont care too much for Rihanna’s music, but I am proud a Bajan girl has done well and pleased for her. I also think she holds her own well.

    Do we want more Rihanna’s (yes from me) and if so, how what can we do, if anything, about it?


  34. David can we get enough of this already?

    First we have Adrian and Frankology going at it .
    Now we have the primary school teacher correcting our posts…dotting our i’s and crossing our t’s, as if we are at school writing compositions.
    Bajan girl ….please, get with it.’We are blogging not writing a paper.Have you ever been to other blogs?
    you type fast, shorten ur words etc.
    The fact that you understood what these guys were telling you, proves the point.Nobody(‘xcept may be u) proof reads their comments totally before hitting that submit button.
    You would be surprised if you knew Frankology’s true profession my dear, so please ease up on the teacher bit ok.
    Dont get me wrong, I commend you for what you say and what you are alluding to but this is the blog sphere dear….just thank God for spellcheck….imagine that added to bad grammar 🙂


  35. Go teach your six year old, we will continue to educate people regarding problems that affect our livelihood.

    You really have a chip on your shoulder when it comes to Rihanna. Six postings and you fail to acknowledge Rihanna winning a Grammy.

    Hope you did not poison the young ones with diabolical tripe. Possibly, these kids were harping about Rihanna’s win, thus your behaviour.


  36. The truth is between everything that we do time is very precious and we don’t want to waste it on the minutia matters at play here. Can we just move on? If the comment is not abusive and we can ignore, we will. If people want to engage in frivolous banter so be it. Knock yourselves out.

    We are off to dinner!


  37. Adrian said:
    Your penchant for attempting to win the argument (it is nakedly apparent) by focusing on grammar and spelling is a CHILDISH TACTIC,
    =============================

    …without any attempt to be prophetic, it is very evident that the children you teach influences you more than you them.

    You wouldn’t happen to be a single and childless nuh? one would have to wonder what influence 14 year old boys would have on you.


  38. Bajan Girl

    I think you’ve misunderstood why so many people have trashed you and your comments above.

    I suspect it’s not what you said so much as when you chose to say it: namely, at the very moment Rihanna had just won what is indisputably a major international award.

    Now, even that might have been ok (albeit a bit of a downer) if your observations had been couched in the form of a good-humoured caveat, urging us to be cautious even while we celebrate, etc. etc.

    But no. Virtually all of us here could tell that your analysis – far from being calm, judicious and detached – simply reeked of your extreme animosity towards this young woman; and not merely towards her personally, but towards everything she stands for.

    Here are a couple of examples of what I mean:

    “Her judgment is so poor and her character so low”.

    “How can the ministry of tourism tell tourists to dress appropriately and then use someone like Rihanna, who often appears scantily clad at public events, in their ads?”

    “Let’s not give one individual the opportunity to destroy its image. We don’t know Rihanna well enough to be confident that she won’t some day have a Britney Spears or Marion Jones moment and embarrass us”

    In the first two comments you merely sound unpleasantly judgemental, although so sour you can almost taste it. But in the third comment you convey a nasty impression of actual maleficence (just like the fabled wicked witch at the feast, in fact) – as if you hoped your dire predictions about Rihanna would come true.

    To sum up: most of us were reacting to the vindictive tone of what you wrote about Rihanna, not the substance of your argument (though that also seemed to me banal, narrow-minded and logically flawed).

    Contributors here may or may not be fans of hers. But you, transparently, are a hater.
    And there is (as someone else has already pointed out) something pathetic about that.

    One last thing: if you’re going to be so absurdly critical of other people’s writing, it’s probably a good idea to make sure your own is impeccable. Otherwise, along with everything else, you’ll sound like a fool:

    “In the past, I used to read a tourism newspaper that the Ministry of Tourism use to have available at the airport”

    See folks? She left off a “d” 🙂

    Samizdat


  39. “People like you and Samizdat, who posted above, have to resort to name calling. If you disagreed with me, you could have simply said you disagreed with me and then wrote your opinions. ”

    Yikes, I’m being compared to frankology now?! Next thing it’ll be Bimbro, and then I’ll have to go and kill myself…:)

    Actually, though, I’m only quoting Bajan Girl to point out (ahem) an elementary grammatical error.

    In her final (past conditional) sentence above, “wrote” (preterite) is incorrect and sounds illiterate. It should be “have written” (pluperfect).

    How embarrassing.

    A D- for you, teacher…

    Sam


  40. Do you wonder that we find so many English, frankly, mad!!!
    Technician // February 12, 2008 at 4:46 pm

    Sorry…….couldn’t resist

    ********************************

    That’s ok, Technician, so do I!!!! However, I’m not English!!!!

    ***************************

    You lot, to Adrian: “You should have said this and you should have said, that”!!

    Look, please lef de man alone!!!! We all knows what he means!! We is all Bajans!!!!

    Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddddddd!!!! 🙂

    (I know I gun get my backside cut now!!!!) Laaad 🙂

    Anonymous, now that you’ve ‘rested your case’ how about resting your brain & shutting-up?!!!!

    Where’s that ‘Bajan Girl’ from????

    Doan worry darling – u gun go to heaven!!!! Laaaaaaaaaaaaadddd 🙂

    Technician, u tell she!!!! Laaaaaaaaaddddd 🙂

    ‘Please don’t stop the music’ – turn up the volume!!!!!!


  41. Wait… Bajan Girl sounds familiar… It only just hit me that she sounds a lot like a young lady who called in to Brass Tacks Sunday when Senator Griffith, Corey Layne and Mrs. Monroe-Knight were in studio making a nuisance of herself. If it is indeed her, “girl, wuh you saying? Been too long. Got anymore petitions against people, I could sign a couple you know!”


  42. Adrian,

    Today, I taught six year olds to put “ed” on the end of words to form the past tense. You obviously never learned that grammar rule. Instead of saying “You will be miss,” you should have said, “You will be missed.” Instead of saying, “Most readers of the articles are not concern…,” You should have said, “Most readers of the articles are not concerned…”

    ==============================

    ———-Just getting “Pickey” wid it———-
    Actually i “Learnt” and not “Learned” it being a student of British grammar as oppose to currently writing and speaking using the more liberal American grammar rules. I will argue with anyone, legitimate language maven or not that adding “ed” to “miss” in my statement only serves the purpose of “sounding” correct and does not infringe on any “past tense” rule as my intent (real) is to demonstrate that “missing” you has not occured (past) will not occur (future) that there is “statis”, a nothingness to that situation. :d As for my use of “concern” without the “ed” thE same thing applies, it is an ongoing condition neither specific to the “past” the present or the future actions of Readers. This is what they do. 😀


  43. Bimbro,

    I told you previously on another blog that you have lost credibility because of inconsistencies in your postings. Remember you once criticized Rihanna and then, under the same thread, you attacked someone else for criticizing her and actually went on to sing her praises?

    Well, I want to point out another example of your phony, hypocritical behavior. Above, you try to give the impression that you think it is ridiculous that I am correcting spelling and grammar on this site.

    Read what you typed on July 15, 2007 under the heading BARBADIANS ARE AFRAID OF THE LARGE INFLUX OF GUYANESE INTO BARBADOS.

    “Listen guys and girls, I’ve been reading all of these contributions this morning from the begining and most of them are most interesting and informative but I do wish that so many of you would just take your time and re-read your items before posting because, so often, they contain so many spelling and other mistakes as to make the whole process far more tedious than it needs to be!”

    I copied what you typed. The misspelling of the word beginning is your error.

    Stop attacking others for doing things you do.


  44. Superlative 1,

    Who still listens to VOB? Not I. You didn’t hear me on VOB.

    Samizdat,

    Thank you for the entertainment. Thistle told me you would all have fits when I brought up the issue of grammar. I am very tough. I can handle you folks.

    I normally just submit serious posts, but I got thrown off on this site because of the lack of activity. As I mentioned previously, only a small band of narrow minded people have been posting lately. I don’t have any more time to waste with you, so don’t waste your time responding to this.


  45. Bajan Girl we have read you comments with a little interest. A couple of observations which we have. We asked nicely in an earlier comment for people like yourself to comment on the topic at hand. We are not into censoring anyone and that explains why we have not removed any of the comments. Adrian H we acknowledge your comment.

    Back to Bajan Girl, you appear to be so full of carrying the ‘standard’ yet you compromise that ‘standard’ by engaging in tangential behaviour?

    A blog represents the opinions of the blog owner. If readers want to comment they are free to do so but it is not obligatory. Our experience is that people who contribute to BU change their writings deliberately to distort writing styles, cadence etc. Barbados is a small place and some very ‘important’ people make contributions from time time to time.

    Here is our advice to you Bajan Girl. We are open as you would have seen to publishing interesting articles submitted by members of the BU family. Tis is not the Huffington Post Blog. Make a difference an submit something for publish. We have no doubt that it would pass mustor as far as the grammar acid test is concerned. If you read our articles you must have observed that we believe in doing and not talking.

    In a nutshell put up or shut up!

    PS. Forgive any grammar slipups, we have written without proof reading but we hope that our message was conveyed.

    David


  46. Hello Bajan Girl!

    Yes, I did warn you that if you comment on the bad grammar/spelling on this blog it would send some bloggers into fits of apoplexy, and I was right. The ones who use good grammar appear to be a bunch of wimps, for not coming to your rescue. I had experienced the same vicious attacks when I had once mentioned bad grammar. I stopped blogging on here for a while because I have never felt particularly welcomed , but temptation got the better of me. (It won’t again, and I admire your courage).

    Apart from the fact that many of the bloggers here are University-educated Know-It-Alls (a friend of mine calls them Educated Asses) there is also a very distinct flavour of chauvinism, and a strong dislike for female bloggers (why aren’t they at home cooking/knitting/doing housework? How dare they be such upstarts as to think they have intelligence and can compete with all-powerful males in a blogging world?). So I’m afraid you don’t stand a chance on here. However, there are some wonderful International blog sites that I read and contribute to and have made some worthwhile friends – both male and female (and the grammar/spelling is top class).

    David has rudely asked you to “put up or shut up”. I don’t know about you, but I’m outta here FOR GOOD, before I get told to put up or shut up.

    All good wishes, Bajan Girl.

    Your provocative attempt to stir controversy is noted by the Educated Asses :-). You are welcome by you other moniker!

    David


  47. Bajan Girl, even I speak in Bajan from time to time for a laugh!!!!

    I’m just saying, “relax a little!!”, that’all!!!! 🙂

    Now the rancour’s out the way, how about a date?!!! 🙂


  48. I told you previously on another blog that you have lost credibility because of inconsistencies in your postings.
    …………………………………………………………………….
    I would like to know the articles you post, the subject and the blog; and don’t tell me that you cannot find an intelligent topic to display your grammatical skills.


  49. If you disagreed with me, you could have simply said you disagreed with me and then wrote your opinions.

    Miss Bajan Girl, How about the word “write” or maybe “…with me and ‘you could have written’ your opinions”

    But again, we the bloggers are uneducated. So please, go to the intellectual blogs and leave us to correct the same intellects who make fundamental mistakes. By the way, we still love Rihanna regardless of her previous statements, but again, we are all human. Ah gone.


  50. Bajans… cheupse.

    Behaving like crabs in a barrel. Now, hands in the air – how many of you are living vicariously through Miss Fenty?

    Why are you not petitioning the government to build the “Rihanna Centre for the Performing Arts”, instead of politely cussing each other out?

    Look at all the entertainment to be had from international artists including Rihanna herself. Imagine not having to fly to New York or anywhere, for a Broadway Play, a good opera, the Viennese Boys Choir, or whatever. Please people, stop the in-fighting or the Indians gun tek over.

    Like Bajan Girl, I was a teacher.
