One day DNO will understand that you can’t just put up pictures without a caption. Please identify the photos for the general public!!
Thunderbirds would have killed Piper if they didn’t win or another injunction on them. Wicked Maria was a replica of Bwa Bwa’s 2016 presentation. No originality so what was all the fuss about 2 years ago.
Lobbie where were your revellers? Go back to the drawing board coach.
Somebody needs to give MAL-P some recognition…
so carnival corners not making noise this year are boy thunderbirds all you silent no bwa bwa all you happy . Any way congrats to all the groups .
So T/birds get something at last.!
They deserved ….. Grumpy old men. They were paid same as the real winners for 2016.
