Is there a downward link?

Following the recent double downgrades, people are wondering what could possibly come next. Some say the worst has passed but others are adamant that the country is spiralling out of control. Others feel there is a stronghold link.

Appreciation before depreciation

It is being said that the recent awards ceremony was an outstanding gesture of gratitude and appreciation; some say even beyond that. So, now all that’s left to be done would be the big cuts. It has been said that as the left hand giveth, the right hand taketh away.

Just Zeeks’ luck

People are saying it seems Zeeks has no more get-out-of-jail-free cards. Funny thing is, many feel there is a contemporary who appears to have an unlimited supply of them.

Shocking!

Could it really be that things have got so tight at a certain place where people pay for accommodation that, in order to reduce overheads, linen is no longer washed regularly. it is simply flipped? At least, that’s what those who know are saying.

‘.You just might get it’

There is so much chatter on Reneto Adams as the preferred choice for Top Cop that people are actually starting to take it seriously. A word of caution: remember the old saying, “be careful what you wish for.”

Something’s odd

People can’t understand what all the Trelawny Stadium fuss is about. It’s been said that it was a solid investment that must now be used for the “right” purpose. Remember, it has been used about twice since it was built. some say three, but who is counting?

Just too quiet

People have been listening and looking out for some word of the plans for inn on the hill, especially since it’s been dealt a new hand, so to speak. But so far no shine on the design and all seems quiet.
