Heh ,Heh , but the best news of all this week was delivered by magistrate Archie Warner .
Why must you have such a negative reaction to this positive approach ? Grrrrrrrrrrrr !
There isn’t anything negative about a positive outcome !
How refreshing ! Positive News instead of Negative News.
That’s what Bermuda should be all about – because there is more positive than negative, and we need to highlight it and show our pride in our beautiful Island and its people.
