What will it take?

As the calls for the Trelawny Multi-purpose Stadium to be transformed into a world-class sporting facility in the hands of UTech get louder than ever, people wonder whether the deafening silence is a signal that no one's listening. After the outstanding performance of our athletes at the 2012 Olympics people say it's a ready-made golden opportunity for the further development of track and field into a regional industry. Or, perhaps the preference is for it to be used once per year as a concert venue and then the rest of the year as a place for grazing... literally.

Gone too soon

People are quietly questioning the head honcho's big promotion out of the hot seat for greener pastures. Thing is, there's no greater life than life on The Rock, is there?

Speak the truth...

Many say hats off to Minister Ronnie Thwaites for being bold enough to demand that parents put their children's education before their hairpieces and fancy clothes. He'll have to go further and tell them to buy school books before they buy phone cards.

Curious

People have noticed that a certain feel-good TV ad was edited from its original format and wonder whether that was done to fit the time slot or was there someone in it who didn't want to be seen.

Time longer than...

Word is, the mistress who became the former wife is now so down and out that she's hoping foes from the past will extend a friendly helping hand and throw in a dollar or two as well.

Too Beastly!

Question of the week: Who will be the one to let Yohan Blake know, whether he's a beast or not, that those overgrown fingernails are definitely a no-no, especially on the international stage?
