@Hants or Chants
cause u might know. They talking about the Todd fella, the politician.
Years ago, when Patrick & Simon Husbands, the Griffith brothers, Callaghan brothers, Jono Jones etc came to ride in Canada, there was a gentleman who used to be about the racetrack. He always wore a suit and a bowtie. I think his name was Todd. Is this Patrick Todd’s father? Guessing if still alive he would be in his 70’s-80’s. -
@ NorthernObserver,
I have never been to Woodbine to watch racing so I can’t help.

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
“The BLP found this most enviable financial situation and after their two terms (1976 to 1986), left a national debt of $3.1B”
“the BLP took over a stable economy and once again, they more than doubled the national debt, taking it from $4.3B to $9B after their 3 terms (1994 to 2008).”
“After our independence, the BLP have always found a stable economy whenever they took over the Government, and then proceeded to massively overspend and leave Barbados in a significantly worse economic situation than how they found it.”
fuh real ?…. fuh true

@ David,
I gave up drinking alcohol a couple years ago because I take Crestor so I focused on the value of the interaction.
Just so you know my preferred beer was Barbados brewed Banks. l
Hope you enjoyed Vanessa and Tessanne. Haven’t given up “music ” yet .lol

Been taking crestor with banks for years and was never aware of side effects……what are they?

I drank enough in my younger days so I don’t need to in my old age.

Hants
Thanks for sharing and I agree that it makes sense.
The age old connundrum is to quantify “high level of Alcohol” …..in Bim a case of Banks was deemed average consumption back in my misspent youth.
