It is indeed incredible that decisions can take so long. Long drawn out decisions do not mean good decisions. Besides, only one man can approve something? Joke. Poor process design. What if he is sick for a few weeks? Or travelling?

Yes, David. The very same; hence the delay. A real member- top brass at that too- of the army of occupation.
Maybe if Ryan had been a Nigerian or Indian he would know what to do to get the army man to shake his greasy hands.

Is this the same Captain Randolph Straughn whose name was linked to a certain report which has resurfaced recently? Why was Straughn transferred from Customs anyway

are you deliberatelyand facetiously fanning the flames of fire here david? you ought to be enlightening the blog with the reasons Captain Straughan was transferred from your sources of information.

a dutchman investor say

A dutchman investor told me today via email , you have to put a rocket up the public servants azz to get results and decisions , he also mention that from the 1st of July (Crop Over Season) funds should of pass to someone in government to get approval . He said every Public Servant wants to be at every soca event to showing off themselves which cost them around $500-$1,000 per week . Approval would sure be guarantee

In Barbados we use the term “prouge” but it is the same thing. It looks like you will have to give somebody a “prouge”

DO you know that two things rule the world ?
DO you know which two things ?
DO you know that if you dont have one that you better have the other ?
DO you know that have you have none that you could talk chalk, you getting nothing done???
DO you want what those two things are ??
JUST ASKING

Simple Simon

I like the culturial terms LOL. Why should I bribe people to carry out they job .

A ministry was bribe in Georgetown Guyana , and the full payment was intercept with death of bodygaurds and the minister , yet still the parties get to carry out the transaction after a new person was appointed .

Simon am too late crop over soon finish ,
Proverbs: If you take the time ant kill an ant ,you must find the head .

Enuff
This statement maybe baffling ,only if you want it to be , This is my reply to confirm , I have sent almost 5 letters to the PM at the beginning of the year . He should of reply to my correspondance like the Minister of Finance stating that they is an appeal department for the Town Planning Department in the Government Headquarters . No one wants to get involve when situations gets crazy especially when it gets to the Media . FYI Captain Straughn is the PS Special Assignment Officer for the Prime Minister .The arbiter is with him , why you think Fruendal dont reply (shame) or cant confirm status

Captian Straugn
Former Comptroller of Customs
Special Security for Cricket World Cup 2007 Special Assignment to the Prime Minister
Head of the Ferturnity

Enuff Food for Thought : The British High Commission dont even want to get involve ;

No worries , within 14 days the matter will be publish on the Tourism Board websites links (abroad) , Barbados became Independance in 1966 but still run by the Queen. so who in charge the document will be CC to

BU may not see certain people comments but AID and knowledge arriving daily from the post . It may be lawyers ,members of the governemnt , reporters or even victims of simuliar situations . I couldnt believe the support from international people as far as Asia cause a Bajan in every country

@ barbajan
Mi still lost. Look file a motion in the Court.

” I received confirmation today that the matter will resolve and ASAP.”

So that is what it takes to get lazy unproductive civil servants to do their job? Name and shame them, thanks to BU!

Well why not let us use the same strategy and get lazy bastards sitting in the NCC and Drainage Unit offices to arrange for the immediate removal of the debris from the pavements and gutters of our roads within a 24 hour time frame. All the debris from weeding and de-bushing of the verges now sitting on the side of the roads will find itself in the wells and watercourses when this storm passes and dumps inches of rain on the potholed roads.

What about getting those thousands of unlicensed and uninsured vehicles off the roads of this little 2×3 place to reduce the amount of black smoke full of asthma inducing particles and carcinogens from the very poor quality but very expensive vehicles fuels?

millertheanunnaki “when this storm passes and dumps inches of rain on the potholed roads.”

This is just a little storm so wha you worried bout? Wann Bajans doan worry bout nutten so.

Man go an drink anudda single malt doo.

” Yet to set up a business here is a nightmare. ”
Is this Ryan a black man or a white man? sorry to say but if you are perceptive you would notice that the majority of national and non-national so called business men always praise the system because the same people who participate in the Emancipation walk Wednesday always go out of their way to please them. you would see white people up and down in the accident and emergency casualty as if they own the place and not so much of a whimper a whimper from the emancipated nurse or doctor now coming to work from the emancipation walk but not afraid to lecture their own race about the dos and donts. I was doing business for a black brother overseas and customs rejected his documentation and hence his goods lay idle in the port attracting storage charges. Guess what. They despatched a caucasian shenanigan here to sort out the matter and guess what he resolved what seemed to be a problem within a day of arriving in Barbados.

Balance you should know that GOD is a white man and don’t expect anything to change,

He said every Public Servant wants to be at every soca event to showing off themselves which cost them around $500-$1,000 per week . Approval would sure be guarante
These words was a Dutchman comments, not Ryan Thorpe

Yes Ryan Thorpe is a black and proud Bajan not even 40 yrs of age ,who grab a piece of Barbados to write my name on histories page.

MY Brother,My enemy
Not every black man is my brother ,not every white man is my enemy
we like to play the racist card too much

FYI its a white man (Bajan)that make the call to resolve issues , and he is not a friend of mines ,but now he will be

It shows barbados is not a play fair society
Thanks for the input BALANCE

You are welcome Ryan!
