1) Editorial

Why are men unable to multitask ?

Women on the other hand, are such amazing creatures, I have just spent two weeks with my sister in law in Oz. She has three sproggets and can deal with questions from all three at once, all the while cooking, ironing, helping with homework, skyping and watching cricket !!

But Men are so one track minded. I have given up even trying to converse with HeeHoo while he is on his computer, or watching telly, his brain has the ability to field all extraneous noise.

My questions go unheeded, my attempts at scintillating conversation fall on deaf ears. I have even tried asking "Do you want spit on toast or canary eyeballs for supper" but he is oblivious to my acerbic wit.

Its obviously a very common "guy thing" as all of my friends have the same problem.

Its strange though that these same quaint, alien creatures can so totally tune out their dear spouses, but can hear what we say clear from the other side of the room, if we are in deep illegal gossip with a girl friend !!

However when it comes to talking sport, they can hear every word.

If I want HeeHoo's undivided attention, I just mention the fall of wickets at the Ashes, or the latest Currie Cup rugby score, and he is all ears. It is as though the filters have dropped, the veil has lifted, I am suddenly a person after all !!

Now I have his undivided attention, I make hay while the sun shines .

I cunningly talk sport in a most animated fashion, making sure that I know my stuff, and then I quietly and adroitly slip in a wifely type question, and if I am lucky, very lucky, if I can catch him off guard, I might just get my question answered !!!

Oooh its exciting being a woman, manipulating the macho world, one step at a time ..........

This service is provided for free, on trust, and for those who love reading.

To those kind folk who have generously donated books during the year we thank you for helping to bring reading and joy to others.
To those few who have taken our books on trust and never returned them thus depriving others of the benefit, please return our books or Father Christmas most definitely will not visit your home this Christmas!!

3) Roses And Raspberries
To the "Lady" and any member of the driving public that think the Handicapped Parkings at Ascot are for your ease of use.
These parkings are for the use of people who find it difficult to maneuver in and out of vehicles as they give you more room to open your door and get out, and are placed close to the shops to make access easier. These parkings are for the SOLE use of the frail elderly and physically handicapped. I would like to send a raspberry to you - lady in the Metallic Green Twin Cab Reg. 731-763T because as you parked in front of me and sat able bodied in the handicapped parking at Ascot and arrogantly refused to move while you waited for your passenger to nip into TM, I had to squeeze my handicapped daughter out the car in the closest normal parking I could find. Shame on you! It is a pity that these parkings are not maintained (i.e. clearly marked) and monitored by Knight Frank the property managers of Ascot as in South Africa you would have been clamped and would be liable for a R500 fine.

4) Congratulations

5) Condolences/In Memorium/Wreath Funds

It was very sad to hear about John Learmonth, who left us on Friday. Sincere condolences to Margaret and all the family. We have lost a fine gentleman and friend. I'm sure our sentiments will be shared by the UK Regimental Association members.
From Carol and Graham Mackenzie.

LEARMONTH - John. Our wonderful father and grandfather - we will miss you so very much.
Dave, Karen & Michael.

6) Pets

Beautiful 2 year old English Golden Cocker Spaniel Female for sale. She is not spayed and is a pure breed. She has a very loving nature and is loyal but not compatible with small animals or young children.
Please contact Sarah on: 0772 303 771

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A LOVING HOME TO PLACE OUR 3YR OLD BOERBOEL WITH. HE IS A MAGNIFICENT BEAST AND A BRILLIANT GUARD DOG.
THE REASON WHY WE ARE REHOMING HIM IS BECAUSE WE HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND HE IS NOT VERY CHILD FRIENDLY, THANKS TO SCHOOL CHILDREN TEASING HIM AT OUR WALL EVERYDAY. I AM SURE THIS BEHAVIOUR CAN BE CORRECTED WITH THE PERSON WHO IS WILLING TO TAKE THE TIME SORT IT OUT. WE DO HAVE THE TIME BUT ARE NOT WILLING TO TAKE THE RISK WITH OUR CHILD, THEREFORE, THIS DOG SHOULD BE HOMED WITH SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE CHILDREN IN AND OUT OF THE PREMISES.

WARM HEART UGLY FACE

Do you remember queuing in the bank every day to draw your allowance that would buy half a loaf of bread ? Do you remember when our husbands would go off and "play golf" on Friday lunchtime just in case the police came to throw them into the cells for the weekend ? Do you remember staring at rows and rows of empty shelves and wondering what you were going to feed the family ?

What short memories we all have .....

Well thankfully Jerome Gardner has documented those crazy days and now his book " Warm Heart Ugly Face" is available. The story of a traumatic decade of hyperinflation and its debilitating consequences for the people of Zimbabwe. People wishing to buy the book can either e-mail gardnerj@yoafrica.com or phone Bulawayo 75848 In Harare the contact details are Zfn, Cecil House, 2 Central Ave [cnr Second, opp NSSA, in front of Datvest] Telephone 0733016576 and speak to Fadzai Mhenyu. Soon available at Exclusive Books in SA.

9) Gossip Column

I also read john A.'s piece with interest, and as a Cuban person, I would like to respond.

Humane governments do not imprison and torture their citizens because of their political beliefs; humane governments do not deny their citizens the right to a passport to enable them to visit other lands, thus effectively imprisoning them in their own country; humane governments do not gun down their citizens if they dare try to escape their country. If the citizens of the Cuban humane government were so happy with their situation, why have so many hundreds of thousands escaped (and thousands dying in the process) to seek freedom elsewhere?

Your father was obviously not a member of the aristocracy, same as millions of other people who also voted Tory. Labour made an abortion of the idea of the welfare state, which is a very good idea if handled correctly, i.e. to help the people who cannot help themselves. What Labour did was to encourage generations of families to live off the State (read taxpayer), not through any disability or inability, but rather disinclination, greed and laziness. Labour encouraged young teenage girls to get pregnant with the promise of council houses, child benefit and numerous other benefits - all this has done is to create a country with a rapidly shrinking income tax base, people on benefits are the ones with very large families as they do not have to rely on their own work to support these families, whereas the working classes, and I mean working classes, have opted, in the majority, to have small families or no families as they have the intellect to realise large families are not financially viable unless you have a very large income. Did you know that at present the whole amount of PAYE collected from individual taxpayers is more or less the same amount of money paid out in benefits? For how long can any country sustain this situation when more and more people are queuing for "free money" with less and less people paying into the pot?

The original piece on pensions was about the immorality of various pension funds who collected contributions, never paid out to the contributors and will now benefit by receiving a 25% chunk of the local assets for themselves and their workers!!

From Argentina to Venezuela, if these countries follow in Cuba's footsteps, they will not thrive, but go down the plug hole as Cuba has done since 1959.

Have you always wanted to learn to play the piano?

I'm taking bookings from the ages 7 - 77 years old - you are never too old to learn! Private Piano lessons starting from January 2011 for all beginners of piano - bookings are filling up fast. Once the term starts and children know their afternoon time tables, then you are placed into a time suitable for you.

The method I teach is a recognised Canadian tutorial and you will be able to play a full piece of music with both hands after 6 weeks of learning and practicing. Your own keyboard or piano is essential. You will know the notes of the keyboard, and I teach theory and aural as well in the lesson. (Aural is the hearing of notes) Qualified Piano Music Teacher (Grade 6 Royal Academy of Music London) with 22 years experience in teaching piano both in Harare with Expats and Bulawayo. Excellent references from both students, parents and other music teachers.
