Have been lurking here for a while.Was born here(from St George) but left for UK in '79.came back here 5 years ago.Never really intended to come back but my mum was ill so I had no choice.Biggest mistake I made was to decide to stay on after she passed way.
 Done alot of travelling over the last 27 years.Lived and worked as a a guest worker/expat in M. East/Far East. Bermuda's just about the strangest place I've ever lived.I thought I had a 'handle' on the place by being born/raised here,WRONG! big time.Cannnot seem to 'fit in',really used to bother me but two years ago I decided, bollocks to it! Can't fit in,don't want to anymore,can't be arsed!The sooner I create some distance between me and Bermuda the better. Thanks God for long distance call plans and Zoom,no mates here!
 This place is 'Living history' not because of the quaint houses,forts and other items of historical interest but the fact that many Bermudians, both black and white, and not a small number if expats seem to be stuck, or find themselves in some sort of 'time warp' when it comes to attitudes,predjudices,tolerance,acceptance and vision(or lack of it).

Thanks for the welcome.To answer your question,if were up to me I'd be out of here tommorow.I look forward to future discussions here.

"TCD examiner/tester peeling off the Union Jack sticker from the back of my car."  YES!! The ****ing TCD... the most useless, irritating, ignorant, bullying, time-wasting, inconsistant, un-fair, power-crazed-small-minded-examiners-helping-their- friends-and-family-under-the-table-but-give-honest-people-a-hard-time... but-allow-over-size-heavy-truck-Hummers-&-Escalades-into-the-Island-for-personal-transportation-for-the-elite... but-make-it-difficult-for-small-businessmen-to get-an-honest-light-truck-permit, white elephant, em-effer, Gu'mint Department in Bermuda's 500 history!!!  And did I mention, a huge pain in the ass, and thorn in your side to boot!!!  They are the WORST!!...I destest them and everything they stand for... which I haven't been able to figure out yet!!! 

No bumper stickers allowed here mate... it's another ****ing useless, ignorant, inconsistent RULE from your friends who SAY they "control" the number of cars, trucks and bikes on the road in Bermuda -- and your window tint.  Great ****ing job Randy...!!!  Get a real job will ya....

What a GREAT rant, eh... one of my BEST, dontcha think...??!!   

... but tell us how you really feel about them Mysty.

Lew... TNX!... but do you gots a larger version...?? 

WOW!!! I think I pushed a button my mentioning TCD! Lets share the 'love' and not spare my other favourite Bermuda public servants,HM Customs. Now there's a group for you! About every fortnight I pickup some merchandise for my wife at the Airport Customs shed.I'm easy to find as I'm the guy doing deepbreathing exercises and Tai Chi in the car park.if you dare to come close you can hear me quietly repeating my mantra, 'Must not choke rude,irritating customs officer ,must not choke..............' etc. I've been going down to the Airport customs shed for almost a year now and I'm happy to report that thay're actually beginning to give me eye contact now! maybe be around Xmas they might actually use 'mister' or even my first name. Wad'ya think?
