I was thinking I could offer information and support to them. A friendly face in a strange country. I lived in the centre of York for 18 years and was in the hotel trade. I know the place really well.
Does anyone know how many people will be coming and what events they will be competing in?
How is it being funded?
Where do they train in Gambia?

Fee Sweetie I don't understand the problem with my offer for help. I am a nice, kind, compasionate person, but would never compare myself to either of the people you mention.
I imagine you are being sarcastic, but why be so cynical? I find that attitude very sad. |

Bev ...cynical??? nope sorry I just think your rather deluded that you think they want or need your help. Who's to say that these people aren't competent enough to find their way around York or know how to handle themselves in a different country. |

Nice to see the girls joining in again and posting. You fellows all like girls so let them post without insults and other stuff. Dont be too macho and think to yourself, Who are these ? they are only women and I am a man !
And NO I am not a moderator, I hope I respect others,I do not like aggressive words that sometimes are posted here on bantaba in cyberspace when VERY STRONG VIEWS are held by posters Although everyone is welcome to write what they want I know. Sorry to have to write this but if VERY STRONG views are inapproperatly expressed by a minority of posters then others will leave,which sometimes I feel is the intention.And NO I am not going to give examples. |

Bev
Good job! Use your previous experience and familiarity with Gambia to make the participants feel the welcome. Make them feel home.

diaspora! Too many Chiefs and Very Few Indians.
Halifa Salah: PDOIS is however realistic. It is fully aware that the Gambian voters are yet to reach a level of political consciousness that they rely on to vote on the basis of Principles, policies and programmes and practices. |

As far as I am aware there is not a Gambian community in York.
I give up on here sometimes, nothing but negative postings. 
I wish the Gambian team a very happy and successful Olympics.  |

Yes Bev as said before Mother Theresa eat your heart out... What do you want?... a medal, people to bow down and kiss your feet .... You and Turk are perfect for each other... Self righteous, arrogant deluded people... Good luck to you! |
