The wordlist emerged after the council asked more than 7,000 learners in 46 countries what they considered the most beautiful words in English language. Some 35,000 other people registered their favourites in an online poll run in the non-English speaking countries where the council operates. Being a Mother myself I can quite understand why the word "Mother" came out in the number one position ! "It's interesting that "mother", the only word of the 70 that describes a direct relationship between people, came top of the poll, said the project spokesman. Interestingly the word list contained only one verb - "cherish " I have listed below the top twenty words, if you would like to see all seventy of the most beautiful words in the English language please e mail 1 Mother ?2 Passion ?3 Smile ?4 Love ?5 Eternity ?6 Fantastic ?7 Destiny ?8 Freedom ?9 Liberty ?10 Tranquillity ?11 Peace ?12 Blossom ?13 Sunshine ?14 Sweetheart ?15 Gorgeous ?16 Cherish ?17 Enthusiasm ?18 Hope ?19 Grace ?20 Rainbow Of course there is also the new "Urban" dictionary, the modern slang dictionary where words like Bling and Blog are favourites. In fact new words are added daily to the Urban dictionary, Mrs Malaprop would have had a wonderful time with her own particular set of words, it even contains a few "Yackisms ..." One word that is in the urban dictionary is "Nucular' which I always thought was the strange rather uneducated way in which President Bush says "Nuclear" however I stand humbled and corrected because the word nucular, according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, "pronunciations ending in \-ky&-l&r\ have been found in widespread use among educated speakers including scientists, lawyers, professors, congressmen, United States cabinet members, and at least two United States presidents and one vice president. While most common in the U.S., these pronunciations have also been heard from British and Canadian speakers." Words like "meanderthal" and "alcoholiday" are rather interesting from the Urban Dictionary. In fact my own nephew Chris has a beautiful word "otherisation" which needs to be added to the Urban Dictionary ....... Radonkulus means when something is beyond ridiculous. Radsome is defined as amazingly radical and awesome. and of course "humongolodongus" means extremely huge, bigger than ginormous; but my brother in law David has an even better word which deserves a place n any urban dictionary - humongasaurus !! And instead of an obituary a modern death announcement is an oblogituary - cyber posting of deceased human ........ I dread to think which words, in ten years time, will be voted as the world's top favourite 70 words. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 NOTICES CRAFT FAIR Date: 11th November 2006 Venue: Zimbabwe Academy of Music For stand bookings and more information please contact: Audrey Thompson 61507 (between 5 and 7 pm) +++++++++ EDITH DULY NURSING HOME A.G.M. will be held at the Nursing Home on Monday 6 November at 12.00 a.m. Any interested persons are most welcome to attend. ++++++++ KGVI is also in need of any gym equipment or a trampoline if anyone is leaving such items. Please contact us on 230434/5. Many thanks for your support of KGVI. If you are around please come to our show in November. LIYANA (it was raining in Sweden)! Sitting at the very back of a theatre in an industrial town in the far north of Sweden are two Zimbabweans. As the show begins we watch the audience anxiously for their reactions. As the music starts our feet automatically start tapping, our heads nodding but the audience are still – how can they not respond to that beat? We have been told that Swedes are not spontaneous and are not able to show their feelings – perhaps it is all that snow! But wait, is that a head nodding over there and surely we can feel other feet than ours tapping the floor. Song follows song getting livelier as the programme progresses. Whispers are heard as Energy pounds on his marimba, his sticks moving so fast they become only a blur; laughter as Goodwell reaches deep deep down to produce the bass note for one of the songs; awed silence as Prudence’s voice fills the theatre and her Ndebele clicks echo in Swedish ears. What is this, are there people moving in their seats, has Tapiwa got them waving their hands in the air? Finally the ice melts and we relax as 400 Swedes stand on their feet and dance to the rhythms of Zimbabwe! The band is called back for an encore and the Guantanamera remix gets everyone down in front of the stage gyrating, dancing, clapping, shouting.. enjoying! What were we doing there? We travelled with Liyana, the King George VI band whom many of you will have seen at some of our shows in Bulawayo. The tour of Sweden, Netherlands and Belgium was the prize that Liyana won at the international Music Crossroads competition held in Maputo earlier this year. The tour was a wonderful experience both for the band and for the audiences of the 30 odd shows, sometimes 3 in one day! There were many aches and pains and problems but no band member missed a single show. The band is now back better than ever before and ready to entertain Bulawayo audiences once again! (Incidentally, impressions of Sweden – I never sat in an uncomfortable chair and I never saw an unattractive girl!). Don’t miss LIYANA’s next show at the Academy of Music, Wednesday 29 November at 5.30. We also have cds for sale at the Centre for Z$5,000. Liyana can be hired for public shows or private events – phone 230434/5 to make your booking. +++++++ ZIMBABWE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.

My Dad lived in Bulawayo from 1964 to 1986 then left for England like many many others losing everything. Can you put the word out in Bulawayo so people he knew or knew of him will know he is gone?

Newman had been ill for some time and died on Monday at his home in Craighall Park.

The first edition of Newman's was published in 1983 and was reprinted and updated several times. In a tribute yesterday, Birdlife South Africa said Newman had played a pivotal role in popularising bird-watching in South Africa through the publication of his numerous books which had sold about a million copies. ++++++++ Nicky(nee walden), Kim,Angus and Russell and Sally and john Walden would just like to express our deepest sympathy to Tracey, Carl and Dylan for the passing away of Bruntjie.Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time =============== GRAVE MAINTENANCE Have you left Zimbabwe?
