Oh shoite, someone with dirt on Dave, and there are many of those someones, probably threatened a tell-all expose

The WICB is doing a moonwalk (or should I say backtrack) that would put Michael Jackson to shame

Dem WICB fellas brazen though. They violated an agreement with a Prime Minister and thought they could get away with such blatant disrespect. Even if yuh don't respect the man, yuh should respect his office.

Its funny because when Julian Hunte was in the same situ with the Jamaican PM, the Yardie posters on here were ready to riot.

Cleg apparently even stabbed a Julian Hunte poster in a pique of anger and threw away his Walcott poetry book. Sorry...that last part probably wasn't Cleg.

Now, Ralph is far more well spoken and nuanced than Portia Simpson but he too is on thin ice.

I mean what can Ralph do?

As usual I suggest a dance off. That always works and as a policewoman attests to, Ralph is quite nimble on his feet.

I pick Ralphie to win.

In reply to Walco

they probably realise that there is no time left to pick the world cup 15
so a way out is here for 1 of the 3
