Re: Re Prince Harry Party Central

My point is - Royals visit do VERY little in the way of improving roads in Jamaica.

I don't hate the royals at all - they're great fun. But <span style="font-weight: bold">imho</span>, these visits are really not much more than publicity stunts. Which is fine! But in no way is it any real change for JA. Not roads - not anything else.

</div></div>

i will agree with that in general.


i remember back in 1983 when the queen was coming. they paved the road from the airport right up through south camp road, tom redcam and old hope road.. all the way to kings house...they did quite a bit of beautifying...we hand nice roads for a few years after that

Re: Re Prince Harry Party Central


As usual, a male boardite makes a statement and no one takes notice. Here is the context. <span style="font-weight: bold">I was responding to dahjah. I have no knowledge of what roadwork is or has been done for Prince Harry's visit.</span><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Tropicana</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Come come now dahjah and Milo. Participating in a discussion about a representative from a foreign country visiting Jamaica does not mean that one supports the monarchy. I think you both need to lighten up. </div></div>

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Emperah_dahJah2</div><div class="ubbcode-body">
That's pure bogus, the fact the ppl love this show dat a gwaan show's their very support.

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-size: 17pt">Yuh kno how much money Jamaica waste when these so-called royals come there?
From the paving of streets (only the ones that they will ride on) to the planting of trees (on the same corridor)etc</span>.</span> but likkle man inna vinyard town nah get nuttin from it and in what way does it benefit de country dem?

</div></div>

This was my response...please note it was a question for dahjah not a statment:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">...and improved roads and foliage are of no benefit to Jamaica<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-size: 20pt">?</span></span> </div></div>
So if you have any questions, concerns opinions about whteher or not the royal visit is or has improved Jamaica's roads, please address them to Dahjah. <span style="font-weight: bold">HE</span> is the one that raised this not me. Beyond my question to him, I really don't have anything to say other than the fact that if one ventures even slightly away from the roads used by tourists, some of the roads are terrible. Case in point...St. Ann's Bay. I was shocked when I was here a few months ago and saw the conditions of the roads.

So I ask again, why can male boardites say anything and no one reacts?

<span style="font-weight: bold"> Soldier deaths affect Prince Harry's Jamaica plans</span>
The lighthearted tone of Prince Harry's Caribbean tour changed Wednesday as the British royal modified his schedule at a military camp in Jamaica out of respect for six British soldiers reported killed in Afghanistan.

Harry, a British Army captain who recently qualified as an Apache attack helicopter pilot, was scheduled to rappel down a new training wall at a Jamaican military camp in the capital of Kingston but instead watched local soldiers do so.

Palace press officer Nick Loughran said Harry decided not to take part in a military activity considered peripheral to the duties of an Apache pilot when the day's focus should be on the British Army's core roles and &quot;looking after the bereaved of those tragically killed in Afghanistan.&quot;

Six British soldiers were believed killed Tuesday evening when an explosion hit their armored vehicle in southwestern Afghanistan, according to Britain's Ministry of Defense. If confirmed, it would be the biggest loss of life for British forces in the country since a plane crash in 2006.

Dressed in camouflage, helmet, protective goggles and a flak jacket, Harry did take part in target practice, firing rounds with a M4 rifle on an outdoor 30-meter (98-foot) range at the Jamaica Defense Force's Up Park Camp. He scored 39 out of 40 on two targets.

&quot;He's an excellent shot,&quot; said Jamaican military Sgt. Anthony Forbes, holding up one of the paper targets which the prince autographed &quot;Capt. Wales,&quot; as the third-in-line to the British throne is known in the British military.

Before getting down in the dirt for target practice, a grinning Harry quipped to the dozens of photographers behind him filming his every move: &quot;Anyone with a camera want to stand at the other end?&quot;

Afterward, the 27-year-old flew in a helicopter to Jamaica's north coast, where he planned to visit a cruise ship port in the coastal town of Falmouth, stop off at an 18th century plantation house called Good Hope, and dine at the Sandals Royal Caribbean resort in Montego Bay.

Harry is touring the Caribbean as part of a Diamond Jubilee tour in honor of Queen Elizabeth II as she celebrates 60 years on the throne. The prince, who made earlier stops in the Bahamas and Belize, arrived by private jet and received a 21-gun salute from members of the Jamaica Defense Force.

Harry is scheduled to depart Jamaica on Thursday. He plans to travel to Brazil at the request of the British government on a trip to promote ties and emphasize the transition from the upcoming 2012 London Games to the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

the hypocrisy of j'can gov'ts is almost unbearable...

i believe those girls had ganja leaves on their skirts which are decoreated with the rasta colors...

yet rasta is not really accepted-- and they will lock you up and brutalize you for ganja...

but if it helps their international visitors then no problem

Looking at his schedule he has a lot of time on his hand between the Jamaica night tonight and his departure tomorrow at 5 PM. It will be interesting to see what he does during his downtime. Maybe he will fly in Miss Bahamas.

he is jsut a visitor, who we hope to entertain while he is with us, and who will hopefully carry away good vibes and a good spirit of ja, and its people

beside, u never know when we may need a friend, and he represents being a friend, so all is well,

Re: Re Prince Harry Party Central

I don't disagree with you. That's what I'm saying - <span style="font-style: italic">he's just a visitor</span>.

My post was in response to commentary on improved roads and fauna resulting from such visits.
