Something extra

The Ritz-Carlton Rose Hall's Escape to Luxury Couture was all the buzz last Thursday night in Montego Bay. In Mandeville, revellers rang in 2011 with Bubbly, and in the city, all roads led to Smirnoff X.Clusive in Cherry Gardens.

Upsetting the church

3Every mother thinks her child is the cutest, and near-celebrities think they and their offsprings have a monopoly on this quality.

Added to that is the usual slow response of the police when called to certain crime scenes, and this has led some to conclude that they do not really want to apprehend the criminals. Say it is not so, Mr Commissioner!
