Tante is my hommie from St George, but 'dancing Harry' the show pony seems to prance his puniness over him.


I'm from St. Philip bro.
Don't pretend to know me.

Born in St. Philip literally, as my mom was on her way to Oistins District Hospital.
I was born in a car on the road in Penny Hole aka Genswick.
First lived in Rices.
Mom from Rices,
Dad from Content Cot, near Mericks, St. Philip.
Spent sometime in St. Michael, fluctuating between there and Content Cot, St. Philip.
Now my Barbados residence is in Union St, Philip.

I cannot think of any relative from or living in St. George.
Not that I have anything against any parish in Bim.

DJ objective is where the $ is . That’s where his commitment was. That’s where he was when he was in his prime.

There was never any doubt about his potential ability to be a great West Indian .

I stand by my statement. He did nothing for West Indies. Not a great

Any sane person with a side like the west indies where the problem is batting would put bravo ahead of holder is tests as well. holder is a bowler who bats a little. similarly bravo is really a batsman who bowls ok. he has adjusted to bowling because that is what CSK required and the WI required him to do a lot of bowling because we didn't have a very penetrative attack outside of edwards and taylor who were both young and frequently injured. holder's two hundreds came against less than stellar English attacks. anderson and broad have never been stellar in the west indies, which is why we've not lost to them here since 2004. Dwayne bravo scored two hundreds down under, against brett lee and mcgrath at perth in 2006 and versus mitchell johnsson, doug bollinger and bem hilfenhaus in 2009

bravo's career ended similarly to his brotrher's and dinanath ramnarine's. the other day opening was asking me whether ramanrine had a successful career. and i said it outright. his figures for 12 tests for a spinner are excellent. 12 tests, 45 wickets, avg of 30. for context neither graeme swann or harbajhan singh. ramnarine and bravo werte not ALLOWED to have the test careers their talent and numbers deserved

Fair arguments.

it's difficult to judge cares when they are shortened
especially by politics or injuries.

Don't worry bro.
I have a GPS, which I use when I go home to Bim.
I have been in Bermuda for 36 years.
Plenty of changes in Bim, especially the round-abouts.

I remember one time leaving St. Philip to go St. Michael
and made a wrong urn off at a round-about.
Ended up going towards the airport (Packers).

Had to turn onto the ABC highway to gather my bearings.
Just far the sake, I always turn on my GPS,
Although it is not always necessary, especially during daylight hours.

One of my homies immigrated to Bermuda, his last name is Sealey.
I have been there several times, One of my schoolmates from Calgary was the managing director of the two Fairmont hotels and the one in Barbados, we graduated together.
I saw an extraordinary woman who I met in Bim, If you attended Bermuda College you will know the special lady.
Bermuda was too small, I spent 3 months in St JOHN USVI, which was tough.
I enjoyed the Port Royal Golf Course.
We won the newlywed game in Orlando, one couple was married for 25 years, and we had been dating for a year, she got all three answers correct, and I got two of her answers correct.
I met someone here in Calgary a few years later, we talk occasionally.
Bermudians love to travell.

Yes bro.
I know two men with the surname Sealy here (Bajans)
One a cop and the other a mechanic.
I know both well.

I attended Bermuda college from 2004 to 2008
I completed an Associates and a Bachelor (BSc is in partnership with Mount S. Vincent in Canada)
I had a no-nonsense rep. at the college.
If I did not get 100% in an exam, most lecturers knew they had a coming appointment with me.
Some of my mistakes were obvious to me.
One particular lecturer would hand back exam papers and
as he gave me mine, he would tell me the appointment time.
Not to be rude but to explain where I went wrong.

I believe that I knew all of the faculty during that time.

Send me a Pm so we can discuss it further.
