I'm sick and tired of this back office wheeling and dealing. At our last meeting I am *certain* we had agreed to take over the island of Barbados. Now I hear this. I'm completely miffed.
Sorry, Bono has rights to islands in the Caribbean. Jimbo owns Florida (except Clearwater, which is owned by Scientology, and the Everglades, which are owned by Carl Hiaasen) and we have the Arbitration Committee yacht cruising between them.
I thot that was Walt Disney Corp. Does he own them? I can remember when it was a joke to say "If you believe that, then I hav some swamp-land in Florida to sell you.", and I vaguely place the date in the early seventies.
