Coffee, you seem so very disappointed with your world, I find myself wondering at times what are you doing to improve it?

@drunken ursula. That was completely unecessary and inaccurate. Nice man, nice family, doing a decent job.

It’s a christmas message of good will. Shame you have no comprehension of what that means.

I totally agree. He’s the nicest Governor I can ever recall us having. The Governor and his wife have met my son (a young teenager) several times, and they have always been really nice to him. He thinks the world of them, as a result of a few interactions. I wish them the very best this season.

wow, such hate filled messages, I cannot believe that real Bermudians actually think like this, I am totally ashamed at these replies from a Christmas Message, discussing to say the least.

First and foremost… Top of the Season to all of Bermuda and we hope that everyone has had a great and blessed holiday season so far.

I have to say that it is a sad realization to know that no matter how much good you do you will always be smothered with some sort of negativity because its humanly impossible to meet everyone’s expectations and standards.

Governor Ferguson and his family will forever be recognized as some of the most genuine and caring people that we have come across in a long time that hold significant position within our country. We would like to publicly thank him and his family for showing sheer humility and love to us during such a great and trying time in our lives forever. Thank You Governor Ferguson and Lady Margaret for taking the time out during your vacation to Halifax to visit my wife and twins who had a very critical start at the IWK Hospital and needed that extra touch of love shown by people who know how to remove any title or position that they hold and actually show that they themselves are just like us at the end of the day. Thank you for the gifts and the thoughts given. To even humble yourselves enough to ask if it would be possible to visit our family while in the area during your much deserved vacation was a true sentiment of your genuine spirit. Your kindness to my family did not stop there. It would be remiss of me if I did not mention that when we were all cleared from the hospital and returned home, you and your family made it a point to come to our home in Southampton to visit us despite your busy, busy schedule. You gave us a special piece of your heart by coming to spend time with us at our home to get a personal update on our little additions to our family. It will forever hold a special place in our hearts to know that you still find it so important to remain in contact with us even after your unforgettable visits with us.

Knowing that we have privately thanked you and after seeing misinformed comments from my fellow Bermudian brothers and sisters I find it necessary to PUBLICLY thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your care, concern and genuine friendship. Last but not least, on behalf of my family, we wish you and your family a great and blessed holiday season.

With Many Thanks and Much Love,
The Bean Family (Miracle Twins)

Sir.John Vereker was the best Governor EVER. He was so nice and down-to-earth. You wouldn’t even think he was the Governor-he was down with the people. Remember, he used to get his hair cut back-a-town and hang out shooting the breeze with the locals. I remember I was at a Christmas event in St. George once and he was walking past with some other officials. I said to my mom “Look, there’s the Governor!” and he heard and came over to shake our hands when he could have just ignored us. He was so sweet and teased me about the Tweety Bird logo I had on my sweatshirt and was so, so nice. Plenty of people were sad to see him go-I remember people calling for him to do another term but unfortunately it doesn’t work like that.

Oh, dear. I am sorry if I missed anyone. I had (for me) very enjoyable visits to Packwood and Lefroy in the West and thought I had met everyone who was available. Everyone was certainly very smartly dressed, though I failed to notice the male nurses’ manicure! I unfortunately had completely lost my voice, which didn’t help, but did have cups of good tea and met residents having a more substantial tea. Best wishes and Happy Christmas.

And I can remember when two PLP MP’s came to a meeting of parents with autistic children. They made a smiley speech promising a bunch of things they never ever did, and then walked out. They explained they had ‘a prior dinner engagement’. They had been there for about ten minutes. The audience, numbering about 100, watched them leave in total silence. No wonder they lost the election.

Talk is talk but , the truth be told , the residents of a particular westend rest home got all dolled up for the good governors much anticipated visit , the staff got out the best and rarely used China , the cooks hooked up a special grreeze and everybody , even the male nurses had manicures the day before .
Well yah boy drove up wiff the driver ,’ he walked briskly inside , stayed very briefly before he turned on his well heeled heels , jumped back in the Beemer and beat a hasty retreat outta there . The poor elderly residents waited and waited in their Sunday best until the heartbroken spokesperson broke the disappointing news that the great governor had come and gone already .
I’ll be glad when he gets his last check from those disheartened seniors who worked so hard all their lives to keep him n style ! I hope he reads this post and corrects the broken protocol , his behavior that’s unbecoming .
Merry Christmas Governor !

Wrong story. You’re looking for the Bean message, where he talks about being in despair because he has no friends.
