Mi see Omar's Premier Cheerleader aka Mosiah

[Lazie]

a defend Omar's record? Why unuh must embarrass unuhself is beyond me. Wehby said they want to move away from Supplimentary Budget .. whats the fuss? How many other islands in the caribbean present a s.b. on a yearly basis?

The first thing that this gov't has done is put all expected expenses on the budget. Fi 14 years of Omar's reign interest to the BOJ was never budgeted for .... that mek sense? No scratch dat. Seeing how some people getting petty I shouldn't ask that question.

Unuh figet that about 15 billion worth of expenses were not budgeted for when this gov't took office?

Then people ask how come Portia was PM.

[Mosiah]

Settle on a name for me, Lazie. Duh, mi a beg yuh!

Thanks!

[Gamma]

so there ARE rules.....!!!???? i knew it!

[Baddaz]

and karl... there is no emphasis on 'h' in patois... lose the 'h' and the hyphens and you will be better...

hex-pec-tid would be tolerable if it was simply expectid... same rules fi hex-pen-di-ture... and fi gad sake nuh add nuh 'h' when it nuh necessary, as in 'innah'... patois nuh like 'h'...
