[glow=blue,2,000]Don't know why I never made this thread before, but some of you may now my Mom is from Barbados. And our family has quite abit of history down there. Two Prime Ministers of the Island in the family. If you look at the picture, the guy on the last dollar bill is Sir Grantley Adams, the first black Prime Minister of Barbados. He was my Grand Father's brother. www.terra.es/personal2/monolith/barbados.htmThen his son became Prime Minister, John Michael (Tom) Adams. I actually got to meet him before he passed away in 85. When America confronted Gernaida, Regan had to keep with my Uncle if he could park his ships near the island. My Dad working for the Toronto Star at the time got to cover the story and the paper gave him the first lab top I ever saw, and then transferred the story from the lab top through the phone reciever. (Internet!) So yeah, my fam in Barbados. Kind of cool going down, was there 2 years ago and I used to go all the time when I was younger. Did the crop over thing, its a festival that lasts for a month, and no last call! I even change my name down there, instead of Thatcher I'm Al Adams. Mine you the relation to 2 PMs doesn't get you anything. ;D [/glow]

Be nice to Sharpy... he's young and impressionable... and probably seen tooooooo many moffia movies ... plus everyone now knows that you're well connected ...
... so now I have a question...
When I go there, talk to your family... and tell them I'm your older ...little sister ;D... I'll get more special treatment than you... right? ... just cause I'm so much sweeter and cuter than you ;D
