Back when yuh couldnt spell 4x100 Ato was setting it up and putting Richard on anchor. He has always been behind the scenes with them. Back when you didn't know who Richard Thompson was Ato was managing him and grooming him for success so try to hide yuh ignorance 'lil bit as though Ato trying to hang on to be famous. Where, in Trinidad? lolol. How stupid. Yeah he leave NBC to come TNT to be famous.

Carib is on to something and every potential Carib Truck Robber will obviously inform and educate themselves before acting. I think Kiss and the corn curls people will have to be even more on the alert.

I have an Ato Boldon autograph somewhere and I got it while he was shopping in Radical Designs some years ago. I think Ato will make a good coach but he may make an even better entertainer.
---
I think being old must be terrifying. The useless in society will always go after easy prey and pensioners will always have that at the back of their minds. Suppose you get to that age and don't have anyone around you can trust then going to get your pension money for yourself might be the only option. It's sad what some old people have to go through.
---
If you can't get them to like you then you can pay them to as as if they do.
---
T&TEC is investing in our future and that is somewhat shocking.
---
The Judiciary in TnT is a joke and it seems that Judges and Lawyers play the game called Adjournment very well. I don't know the answer to this one but if a "good" lawyer takes on too many cases and for some reason cannot be at two places at once then does the Judge adjourn the trial or trials to accommodate the lawyer?

I think the saddest story here ..... IS really the one about the old lady ..... cuz I DO think about getting to that age ..... well not 98 exactly ...... but gettin old generally ...... and not having anybody to 'protect' me ..... or take care of me ..... its very scary ...... cuz the elderly in this country ..... are treated terribly!
LOL @ T&TEC shocking! .... fuh real eh ..... it shock me too

'Scene girl, I might have beat you to the electric fence but I was dreading the piece that would have come out of me about the Royal Castle/Old Lady who get knocked down et al. Now that would have been a really DARK place. WTF!
Oh, and for Asylum information, he getting his A's mixed up, he meant to say is Ashwin Creed who pushed Richard Thompson on his way, Sure Ato has dropped in from time to time to support the relay boys. I wonder if Asylum know is Marc Burns, Darrel Brown, Dion Rodriguez and Kevin Straker, who were the original "Hot 100" Team. It eventually became Marc, Darrel, Dion and Aaron Armstrong and is only in the last year and a half that Richard Thompson really come into his own and became a part of the team. Is Ashwin Creed tell the man family he had to pick between Football and Track and then start to work with him.
More power to Ato that he's taking an interest, but I hear that before from him, in his house, at various sporting meets etc after the last Olympics.

Re: Royal Castle - ah know ah late eh, but ah jes get dis tory here. I hear from the fella brudder, (who is a police with SAUTT)that the child wasn't too right in he head. What happen was the gyul leave him long time, but when she and she man brokes she would call him, soften him up with ah lil "doo-doo, darlin" and ask for money. The chile really did love she eh, and again, he wasn't too right in he head, so he used to give she every time. Apparently he get tired of being she bank and decide to deal with she..and she man..and odder people who used to bother him. So he take the brother (privately owned) licensed gun, load it wid some hollow points and wait fuh she to call for money again. He tell she meet him in Royal Castle and ...well...yuh know how the story goes from there. He didn't plan tuh kill heself until after he deal with everybody on the list, but it look like plan change dey. He brudder takin it real hard, hard.
