Guess what? I DID!!!!!...lol.....

I wasn’t going to blog about this story but I may as well.

A few weeks ago while walking on King’s Street in Fredericton.

I noticed a guy I knew sitting down at a table outside of Reid’s Newsstand.

The guy introduced me to the guy he was talking with.

I looked and said - Jamie!

He quickly answered- Charles!!!

Yes, it was Jamie Irving himself and he followed the Irving’s tradition with a strong firm handshake. < My hand still hurts >..lol...

It was the first time I chatted with the Billionaire in 6 years.

I will not disclose our conversation < I usually don’t > Remember Kenneth Irving? Same goes with Jamie.

But I will add one little story.

I told Jamie - I heard the Irvings are going to hire Bloggers????

He didn’t say yes or no.

I quickly told the owner of the newspapers - Hey Jamie???? I’m your guy!!!! Do you know what will be my first blog Jamie?

I told Mr.Irving that my first blog would be about the Irving monopoly of Newspapers in this Province!!!!

The guy sitting across Jamie just shook his head down in disbelief.

Talk about blowing an interview????..lol....

Too funny!

But I guess it is indeed true and one thing is certain.

The Irvings are going to promote this new blogger BIG TIME!!!!

Will I get a phone call and be hired as a blogger?

Of course not and why should I accept the job anyway?

THE JOB DOESN’T PAY!!!!

I may as well keep on doing what I do best and that’s blogging issues away with nobody telling me what I can or cannot blog!!!

Nice to see the Irvings in the blogging business but who will they promote?

I might add that I respected Jamie’s privacy and never took a picture.

Stay tuned!!!!!

Jamie was very polite and friendly and you were rude and despicable. What is new?

It's easy to be polite and friendly when your a billionaire and own most of the province.

I feel that no matter what Charles or the people of Saint John or of NB does to speak out someone is there at all times to try and shut things down or shut them up. Some naive people keep defending the government and Irvings.

Let's tax everyone unfairly and we will get away with it because we have for decades; it works for most because they bury their heads up the Irvings ###.
