My son was pestering me for a Mohawk haircut, but after all this, he stopped pestering me. Young people are SO intelligent. They should run for seats in the house.

Mr. Simmons, your 15 minutes, thankfully, has run out. Please exit the stage, and try to leave with some dignity and grace. You owe that much to your family and friends.

YES! i agree with you Mr.Simmons. you also have to remember that you are presently campaigning for public office in Bermuda. Unless you are trying to reach a segment of the population for extra votes, i really think you should portray the contemporary office look. once in office then you can style up like a kim wilson with Burch earings and a turban if you so wish.

What makes you think you are a politician? I am reading your comments and they are all defensive to say the least. You are not a role model, you do not speak well and you want to challenge someone to a debate! I will challenge you but first you must get to the second round of the TV Show, are you Smarter than a 5th Grader”.

If you do succeed, I will let my 13 year old daughter debate with you and only if you get past her, I will waste my time humiliating you in public.

You obviously did not understand the meaning behind my words and are reading way too much into it. Do you honestly think that YOU or your party will get us out? Just because the tough gets going does not mean you throw in the towel. The PLP could have folded a long time ago but stayed tough and eventually formed the Government. The UBP lose a couple of elections and decide to fold.

Your feeble attempt at humor is as sad as your pathetic haircut. So far I have not seen or heard anything out of your mouth that resembles a solution. Your trying to play, “the brother from the hood” angle a bit too hard.

But hey, I admire your spirit

@Bernews,
I understand why you edited the above comment. However, Devrae as an aspiring politician must be prepared for a very bumpy ride, he is quite happy to dish it out, but must learn to deal with the consequences.

Somebody needs to teach Mr. Foghorn Leghorn the difference between STRONG personality and strong CHARACTER!!! Because I think he’s confusing one with the other. We don’t need representatives with STRONG personality. Osama Bin Laden had strong personality. We need leaders with strong CHARACTER sir! And that means leaders who aren’t trying to compensate for their low self-esteem by adopting defensive-exclusion to state one’s uniqueness as opposed to the others. It screams “I need attention and a breast to feed me”!

Be careful with that argument! If a teacher pulls out his pet peacock and starts stroking him in front of the class he cant blame the students for being distracted from lessons. That’s like peacocking on our heads and telling us “its just rain don’t let it distract you.”

Actually I know much more about you than you think ( Be careful) Do not make reckless assumptions. I am fully aware of and am a member of the sporting fraternity in Bermuda, and have witnessed your efforts at posing as a trainer and consultant. What project are you working on now? What local sports awards have you won?? I could go on but you get the point!
Hell, I even remember the pink and white hair.
PEOPLE WANT TO BE REPRESENTED BY AN INTELLIGENT AND MODEST PERSON, NOT AN EGOTISTICAL ONE WHO IS FULL OF IT.

Devrae Noel-Simmons — Sun, 15 May 2011 21:24:58 +0000

Actually Rockfish its not arrogance its confidence and high selfesteem that allows me to speak the way I do…because I listen to all varieties of politicians and activist it all comes down to the same thing…who has the courage to stand up despite the odds and the and the retoric from my peers! Not that I think you know politicians because I don’t believe you do…but I am All athlete and presently play on the Bermuda National Rugby team and have represented Bermuda in various other sports locally n internationally! Which again shows that you actually have NO knowledge of Bermuda’s sports figures who have pioneered different sports to uphold Bermuda’s name! But if your nonathletic, then of coure YOU would consider my personality combative and arrogant! Plus I haven’t met a successful business person who didn’t have a STRONG personality that’s what makes Success… So if my Hair is Your disraction then you will simply miss whatever oppotunities come your way because you r so Easily distracted…I guess this is the brain child of the government at present…

@ Watching…so then let’s continue the Saga….Vote PLP!!! Are u serious…u actually believe that the PLP is going to pull u and I out of this mess! So you believe that we are all ok and this ‘thing’ we are going through is just a phase! U call yourself ‘Watching’…I say what r u watching? Because whatever fantasy world your living in u need to step into reality…

Is this the speech you tell yourself in the mirror before public appearances?
I’m glamorous
They’ll see me as larger than life
All de pro athletes and people of influence are starting to wear Mohawks
Ya so what I’m none of those but I’ll be commended for bravery, a real trend setter.
Hate it or love I am who I am, get over it haters!
Im glamorous
The message is what’s important

Reminds me of that TV commercial where the guy has a stain on his shirt during an interview. Every time he talks the stain speaks over his voice lol. That’s what his hair is doing.
Oh and sorry I hit a nerve there Terry! I swear I had no prior knowledge of your being unblessed in that department. Nonetheless I will try to empathize rather than laugh at your misfortune. (cough)

By: Rockfish#1

Rockfish#1 — Sun, 15 May 2011 18:04:17 +0000

Devrae,
I assume you are serious about entering politics! If you are, your arrogance and combative attitude must be replaced with a large dose of humility. So far your only contribution is to stimulate conversation about a hairstyle which is a needless distraction,you are NOT an athlete NOR a person of influence, so stop kidding yourself! People should be talking about your intelligence and vision etc. Therefore throwing out challenges like a prizefighter makes you look weak and defensive. Surely your party apparatus can arrange a town meeting for you if they think you are worthy of it!

AS FOR ME I wont be voting for UBP, PLP, BDA, OBA or any other Alphabet names because they all are got it wrong. What this island “REALLY” needs to do is to put aside this party nonsence , come together with some TRUSTWORTHY HONEST people that truly have BERMUDA at heart and all of us work togetherto save ourselves from a sinking ship. But i guess as Bermudians we will wait till we are well underwater before we realise we are sinking.

By: Devrae Noel-Simmons

Devrae Noel-Simmons — Sun, 15 May 2011 15:56:56 +0000

Oh and further more…I challenge any of YOU… To an open public forum in a town hall meeting…maybe when we are in font of each other we will see who makes the most sense or are you the types that just do a lot of barking with no BITE….

@ White Jesus, and what’s wrong w a peaxock? Its one od the most Glamorous birds alive…larger than life! Doesn’t matter anyway…all the pro athletes and people of influence are starting to have Mohawks so u need to get used to it! The message is what’s important…democracy!!! This is what I represent and will continue to do so…love me or not you cannot allow my words to go unheeded or unheard…

40 thieves? What time zone are you living in? Front Street has changed and I would expect that most of the 40 thieves are pushing up daisies, unless you’re talking about the ones on the hill.

You are drinking kool aid. The Trimingham’s , Smiths and Gibbons are still going strong. The loss of a business did not affect their bank balance. They were salting it away in trusts for years. They are still living a great life, unlike us who are out there bickering and carrying on like idiots. If we had any sense, we’d tear a page out of their books – work, save, build, save, live.

So basically ALL these comments that I have read today are not based on the message being passed to you but my hair? So despite the fact that No one has stepped up to the plate to try and at least make a change and I have means nothing! Well guess what peeps I’m here to stay So you all need to get used to it and the hair! Because I’m not going to look and be a ‘Commoner’! No I will be me, Devrae Noel-Simmons! And I will crack on speaking about and representing all that believe that WE need to get Bermuda on track! Also, those that speak about the 40thieves…guess what they all left the building awhile ago that’s why we are suffering now…but I guess as common folk you accept your living conditions as is, like sheep only to be lead to the slaughter house…

@ Rockfish, Thats why people like you will always be ‘Stuck’ mate! That will always hangup about anything! My image reputation is the red hair…but I gues you feel that because I’m different…that must really burn you to know that I’m there but yet you can’t listen to my words.

What we all need to do is stop this black / white racism thing all the time we need to get along with each other. Need to focus on whats going on around us like the violence and the people we are losing on a monthly basic. Let’s all get along. We are all suffering from the government cut backs. But does not seem they cut there salaries back.

You fools put to much on perceived. Your all bloody fools. You worry about a hair cut. Closed cropped hair means nothing more than you like it that way or you have gone though Cancer treatment or your old and loosing your folicles.

@ Spooky…..take off your tinted visor dood………….Show me a Trimingham , Smith, Gibbons et al. They lost their business due to mismanagement. AS Coopers is still there…….

Your confusing the “40 thieves” with the PLP MP’s. Past is past and the Colonial thieves have left. All we have now are confused negro’s that swallow the bait. Certain Senator said it right but they incorporated themselves.

Now back to regular programing and happy 21st May….End of the world yah no………um havin konk stoo ann fish cakes on dee 20th…….vat yoo lutt hawin…..
