Age ain't nothing but a number,' is the line adopted by national record holder in the women's 100 meters (m) Chandra Sturrup nowadays. Whenever she is introduced at sporting events Sturrup is referred to as the veteran sprinter in the field – but that's not bothering her any.

In his convention speech PLP Leader Perry Christie reiterated promises he failed to keep when last in office. Now he is promising more of the same: more speechmaking, more indecision and more of the same old guard.
Mr. Christie led the efforts by the PLP old guard, which failed the country so miserably in the past, to entrench their position in the party, sweeping aside any reformers in his party and cancelling the involvement of a younger generation to participate in its senior ranks.
Last evening in the course of an address at our National General Convention, it was announced that former Senator Pleasant Bridgewater had been acquitted. The announcement was incorrect. We give an unqualified apology. This was not intended to interfere with the administration of justice.
Frustrated by their own state of disarray and anxious to find an issue they can exploit in the next general election, PLP leaders persistently try to blame the FNM for the downturn in the economy. They are at it again in their convention.
The re-election of Perry Christie as Leader of the Progressive Liberal Party is a victory for the old guard of the party and a blow to any serious reform by those who represent the worst days of the Pindling era and the more recent scandalous past of the party, among them a number of Mr. Christie’s cabinet appointees.

The John Travolta attempted extortion trial ended in chaos last night after an outburst at the PLP convention forced Senior Justice Anita Allen to order a retrial.
Proceedings were sensationally halted after South Andros MP Picewell Forbes took to the convention stage and told delegates that one of the accused, former PLP senator Pleasant Bridgewater, had been acquitted.
