    ibo france, sadly you cannot even tap into your discretionary common sense to extend sincere congratulations without interjecting politics.

      It was just meant to be jocular. Why are you so uptight? Humour is good for the soul. Laugh and grow fat. Stress and waste away. You take politics much too serious. Smile and let your face stop hurt you. Okay now?

        ibo france, I am usually an affable and even keeled person. I get it, you are basically telling me to chill which is not a bad piece of advise for all of us who occupy this increasingly unpredictable and volatile world.

        My post was simply a fair and reasonable response to your politically tinged kudos. Other than that I am cool.

    Congratulations to St. Lucia the eventual winner of the Windward Islands School Games. Congratulations also to the Dominica team, at least you have done better than your government. You didn’t end up in last place.
