Thank you Bernews, de best media outlet on de Rock.
Nuff Respect
I have to press like on that
TO Rick Olson: Ridiculous comment.
Good businessman I’d say. Don’t like it? stay home.
Pure GREED. Nothing new here.
GREEDY!!
Seriously. Olsen, you sound like the kind of guy that tries to pry a sticky quarter off the street after a parade. Have a little pride dude, it’s bad enough you pander to one particular segment of customer. Make sure your CCTV is working and your security guards are well fed. Great business plan.
Please stop this aggressive attatcks every time some says something!
You are SO annoying.
Will there be security?
Im all for being prepared… i have my steaks burgers dogs n a case… why all the panic though? Cat 0-1 for us is bbq time. Even cat 2-3 i kno latest ill be back on is a week 2 max…. no biggie
Cat1 3 days max.
Belco workers are used to dealing with Cat 3 and up.
And we all know about TS Faye, and the power. lets see 4 weeks…..
Great job as always Bernews
One thing I notice people always take things for a joke. But on the other note every one please be safe no matter if the Hurricane comes or not, stock up on plenty of water for the kids and deal with the beers after.
There are happy people here dude. Some, want to enjoy and make light of bad situations.
Personally, with my line of work. I hate hurricanes
Mr.Olson is just saying I got the lights on in a storm. (Cold beer and a bbq.)?
Sounds good to me.
Too Smh. My apologies. That was @ Terry
You could be next.
And don’t ask me what my “Point” is.
As for Mr. Olson.
Better stick to service whilst you can.
You should be telling customers to stay the hell home instead of trying to line your pockets.
Shalom.
god still continues to spare Bermuda but we refuse to turn from
are sinful ways
You mean the god that sent the storm in the first place? Or was that the devil, the other fictional character.
great time to make a baby
We have enough problems. Put the rubber on!
Always a mini baby boom 9 months after a power outage.
You should know I’m your father.
wrap it up
Oh goody I can fill my drunken belly with food until 3 am?? Then come outside and drive home at the time round the closes point of approach …cool
Some humour is always good, be careful we don,t exhaust our existing emergency services tho. Do keep an eye out for seniors who live alone and young families.
Many thanks, as ever, for your diligence in keeping us informed. Bernews is a great asset to Bermuda.
Is there any buses this morning
Allah-u-Akbar,,,thanks and praises to whom all praises are due forever,and ever.We should always remember who is in charge.The creator of the heaven and the earth and all that is in between.We should be thankful to Allah for his mercies and favours upon us and our loved ones and that means ,,,the disbelievers also.Peace.
Is there any update on the buses?
