I of course try to see the power plants at my job any chance I get so I can get out of the office and see some engineering, but I work with guys who work in power plants for the majority of the job where the threat of an arc flash forever looms at any unknown moment. My ass they deserve that many figures from the risk of a sports injury.
But at least the sports players are payed that much money by private businessmen and not the government.

Hell yeah!

Id rather pay Mr. Chase 200K a year to NOT get his fine ass fried!!!!

I mean really, a bunch of sweaty guys, running around, playing with their balls..........
WHY would I want to pay THEM that kind of money when Im NOT??????

"pon de" = "on/upon the" I believe

And £200k a week is too much for a footballer...now if you could reroute that sum in my direction, I might be willing to change my tune...Poke

"No Hate on the Footballers"

Pon is a short word for Upon, which is old English technically, along with other select words such as Hither, which translates basically to like "Here" but we have a saying

"Come Hither Heather" which is basically to say "Come here immediately".

Pon is also widely known, although it seems not very wide lol, phrase popularized by Jamaicans and in Reggae music and while they do use it more than we do, we are one of the oldest English speaking territories in the world and the first Island I believe, so a good deal of our local terms and sayings originate with very old, what's called "Elizabethean English" words and terms, in conjunction with our African/West Indian ones.

So when we say phrases like;

Enuh? Can translate to Standard English as; Right or You know?
And is sort of the broken British slang term "Innit" which means pretty much the same thing.

And "De" is the shortened version of "The", because I suppose in Migration and integration, the African Slaves couldn't quite get the handle of the English tongue, and so many of their descendants(most notable are those from the islands) tend to use the dental fricatives they had in certain words such as pronouncing "Th" in words.

Which is why you hear Jamaicans say "Ting" and "Tree" instead of Thing and Three.

We replace many Th sounds with a D, so would say Ding or Dree/Shree respectively.

Hopefully I cleared that up for you alittle bit <3 . I tend to slip up into my way of texting, which is basically how I talk. Add character I guess though Rofl

It's still stupid, and If they get taxed greatly fuck it, the State can start taxing more on big companies..about damn time anyway

Any amount of money is too much for a guy to kick a ball.
