"Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.
"It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
Updated: November 22, 2008, 7:42 AM EST William Gallas has arrived at Arsenal's training ground while the rest of his team-mates prepare for Saturday's clash at Manchester City.
A miserable week for the Frenchman has seemingly seen him stripped of the club's captaincy and now left out of Arsenal's squad for the trip to Eastlands.
Gallas has hit the headlines this week after speaking openly on Thursday of unrest in Arsenal's camp, while revealing details of a bust-up inside the dressing room at half-time in the recent draw with Tottenham.
Arsenal have yet to make an official comment on Gallas' outburst, or whether a subsequent punishment had been issued, but is widely understand the player has played his last game as skipper.
A number of the club's former players have been quick to condemn Gallas' breaking of the sanctuary of the dressing room and, his comments have not sat well with his team-mates either.
It has been suggested Gallas offered up the captaincy at a team-meeting on Friday, although details of any such discussions are for the moment subject to conjecture. Manuel Almunia is expected to lead Arsenal on Saturday, with Gael Clichy thought to be the other leading
The only time TRUTH will hurt you...is if you ignore it long enough
Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.
You really support Gallas and his ****************ery ? somethings must remain in the locker room and not said to the public.
You are right somethings must remain in the locker room...but not when it had reached the stage Gallas had assessed it to be! Gallas was correct. It was, after speaking to the players privately and nothing changed, a public calling out. What Gallas had done was in a real sense asking the fanz of Arsenal, to look closely at the players and identify and make known those who they saw no pulling their weight...it also meant those who were not pulling their weight was being advised to pull up socks as they were now under intense scrutiny...an electron microscope, so to speak. Gallas said, 'play or si-dun'!
It appeared to me that the only other thing Gallas could hacve done was take each slacker aside and 'beat hout im side'. That was no an option.
The frightening thing is Gallas' stance also reflects on Arsene Wenger. It can only mean one of three things - Gallas thought it was a waste of time to ask Wenger to stand with him and 'haul up' the players; Gallas thought Wenger had lost control of the players and he (Gallas) needed to do something to bring desire, professionalism and controled focus back on stream; Gallas lost respect for Wenger...gave up on Wenger being able to get the players back on track
The truth is the players are not playing for selves, Wenger and or TEAM! The last match I saw...the one vs Aston Villa...they did not try (TEAM had gone to hell!)
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
Where have you read or heard that Gallas spoke to the players ?
Did you read what I wrote?
Gallas has lost respect for the Club, Wegner and HIS team. !!
We are sure he is not pleased with the interaction among the players, performances of some players and the TEAM. He said so!
To be pointing out players in the media is disrespectful. (the age hint).
We are also sure he did not out that 25 year old but allowed him to hide in the group of 25 year olds.
His form and play this season has to be questioned too.
Which of Arsenal's central defenders have come anywhere near to Gallas' performances?
A youngster outran him and scored and Gallas is suddenly rubbish? Well if he is rubbish...the rest are worse than rubbish!
Speaking out?!
Henry did it!
Rio Ferdinand has done it!
...and a host of top world players and excellent players have done it. ...as to managers? They do it everyday - When they claim they need players are they not 'peeing on those they have'?
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
and yet TH14 was disruptive and had to go......go figure.
TH14 was very selfish in his final 2 seasons. It may well be that it is his example the youngsters are aping! ...if Henry could behave as he did why not me...especially when the young impressionable kids read all the write ups ''oooohing" and "aaaaaaahhhing" about their technical skills and most attractive team in English football, rah-rah, ray-ray...etc!
Gone to their heads, maybe?
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
