Rihanna Exposes Barbados Laid Back Attitude To Legal Drinking

“I’d go out and get drunk, but that’s what teenage girls do in Barbados,” the 19-year-old told the tabloid. “The country’s pretty laid-back about the legal age for drinking. But I never went too over the top. I wasn’t exactly in Amy Winehouse mode. I’d seen what alcohol and drugs had done to my dad and I wasn’t going to follow in his footsteps. I knew my limits when I was a kid and I still do.”

“I might have a few drinks, but I don’t get tipsy too easily. I don’t ever get to the point where I want to throw up, can’t stand up straight or say things I’m likely to regret in the morning,” she said. Source – The Mail On Sunday.

Man, this reminds me of growing up and my father giving us 4 sibilings a shot of rum as he put it “to kill de worms”. LOLLLLLLLL. Thankfully no one out turn out to be a drunkard or a rummie!!! LOLLLLLLLLLL.

In all seriousness though, I can’t wait for the day when the authorities charged adults for sending young ones to the shop to buy their favourite liquor, charge shopkeepers for such and crackdown on excessive drinking by teenagers at fetes/parties. At least the government here regulates the alcoholic industry but it needs to do more.

Asian Markets Tumble, Global Investors Panic-Stricken, Flee To Gold

“If the largest insurance company [in the world] can fail, [America International Group Inc] than no one is safe.”

Asian stocks tumbled Thursday, tracking declines on Wall Street as investors feared more companies could succumb to the global financial crisis that forced the US to bail out troubled insurer American International Group Inc.

Every regional benchmark fell deeply in the red. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index led the region’s losses, tanking 1,272.86 points, or 7.22 percent, to 16,364.33 – its lowest level in over two years.

In Japan, the Nikkei 225 stock index was down 445.67 points, or 3.79 percent, at 11,304.12. Australia’s S&P/ASX200 index fell more than 3.5 percent, South Korea’s Kospi lost 3.6 percent and Shanghai’s index fell 5.8 percent. As equities markets staggered, investors fled to gold, seen as a safe haven in times of trouble.

Investors were unsettled by the Federal Reserve’s $85 billion loan to AIG, the huge US insurer that lost billions in the risky business of insuring against bond defaults. It was the latest financial giant to fall in a historic financial crisis on Wall Street that’s already claimed investment banks Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch.

“It’s a complete collapse of confidence,” said Francis Lun, general manager of Fulbright Securities Ltd in Hong Kong. “The financial crisis in the US is hitting everyone, everyone is running for cover. If the largest insurance company can fail, than no one is safe.

Financial stocks across Asian went into a tailspin.

Japan’s three megabanks fell hard: Mizuho Financial Group, Inc. sank 7.2 percent, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. shed 4.6 percent, and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group retreated 7.4 percent.

Leading China lender Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd, or ICBC, fell over 5 percent in Hong Kong.

Macquarie Group Ltd., Australia’s biggest investment bank and securities firm, took an 18 percent nosedive.

Richard herring, the director of trading at Burrell Stockbroking, said Australian investors were nervous about AIG bailout.

“It has actually opened up a whole lot of other questions for investors to answer and that is: AIG is on the rack, what else is potentially out there that could go under?” Herring said.

Gas Prices Drops In Canada, Can Bajans See Any Relief Soon?

  Canadians are now buying gas at $1.26 [BDS $2.34], down from $1.40 [BDS $2.60] since oil prices fell to $US 91.00 a barrel from its high of $US147.00 in July.

So when can we expect some relief soon? Oil prices tumbling ever since. We still paying $2.67 a litre. Or is the government planning to buy a surplus of oil now at this low price to buffet bajans when the price skyrocket again?. Or somebody mekking money offa we?

“What a lot of people overlook is not what it costs to make gasoline, but also it depends on what the market can bear,” said David Thompson, research associate with the Parkland Institute in Edmonton. “If the companies think people will buy their gasoline, even at a high price, they’ll set the prices high.”

Maybe so but if government have a policy to pass on direct costs to consumers regardless of the price of oil on the world market, then I expect to see a drop at the pump if oil prices drop!

So who mekking money offa we?
