Re: Country clubs etc

No. Never heard of it. And from your description, I have no interest in it.

Is it somewhere that someone looking for a “high-end” “country-club” would find welcoming? That is, a dullard?

Re: Country clubs etc

Try The Cliff restaurant. The food is excellent. I recommend the linguine as a starter. Best linguine I’ve ever had in any restaurant in Barbados.

Chances that you’ll see a black person there...

Re: Country clubs etc

The OP should join the Barbados Yacht Club.

Re: Country clubs etc

But surely they would have taken you at Keble? Or Hilda’s? Catherine’s? I have to concede that at Merton or St. John’s, for example, they would have rejected you out of hand if you’d...

Re: Country clubs etc

Which university were you at, in fact? If it was one of those ghastly little provincial places, I’m afraid you’ll find little comfort here. But surely even red brick universities have some sort...

No offence taken at all. On the contrary, a pleasure to correspond with you.

I don’t think I’ve seen the word “set” used in the same context as your use of it since I last tried to get...

Re: Can you clip a cat?

Very good to know, bimchick. Many thanks. I needed exactly that kind of confirmation. I think it'll make the little guy happier.

Re: Can you clip a cat?

Many thanks to Zanne, Foxy and Poppy for input. I’d been genuinely concerned about this. I work at home, and watching the guy be miserable all day had upset me.

Can you clip a cat?

Folks,

First, I’m sorry about the bizarre question. I’ve looked on the internet and I get conflicting responses. I talked to a vet here and he didn’t make sense. He didn’t seem to know...

Re: same-day british newspapers :)

Damian,

Just saw this post. This sounds like something I’d definitely be interested in. Since you seem to be the owner of Newspaper Direct, could you tell me something? In what format is the...

Re: why is Barbados the best place to live?

Thanks for that, F. It was helpful.

I’d already been considering switching from Sunbeach to Pomegranate (or whatever Cable and Wireless is calling itself this month).

That’s exactly what I do (plus, every time I’m in the US or the UK I buy as many books as I can carry). But when I order from Amazon for delivery in Barbados I have to (i) pay the duty and (ii)...

This is a really good and interesting thread. Congrats to the guy who started it.

Re: why is Barbados the best place to live?

This is entirely a matter of personal taste. It’s also a matter of personal circumstances. I think that, to some extent, it also has something to do with age.

I’m a bored husband … a trailing spouse, here because my wife was sent here for her job. Would my reproductive apparatus automatically disqualify me from membership of the Bored Wives Club?
