Scammonyroot Disposal

How many times have you seen comedies on American sitcoms that involve ministrations to a garbage disposal under a sink ?

Now for the edification of my fellow Third Worlders, a garbage disposal is an amazing contraption, it is waste disposal unit usually electrically powered, installed under a kitchen sink between the sink's drain and the trap which shreds food waste into pieces small enough to pass through plumbing.
Over the years my Texan brother in law has given me copious instruction on the vagaries of his garbage disposal - but not copious enough it would appear.

There are screeds written in the annals of time about garbage disposal units and each, it would appear has its own trials and tribulations, quirks and quiddities.
Now Uncle Dave is a jack of all trades, apart from being the worlds most able expert on Apple Macs, he can turn his hand to tiling, plumbing, carpentry and all things DIY..

Thank goodness ...
Because to date I have single handedly demolished not one but two of his garbage disposal units ! No one told me not to put the pineapple top down the drain after all !! That resulted in the procurement of an entire brand new unit .. and then this visit, there were the lowly potato skins ..

Now I have always been an ardent admirer of the magnificent Texas store called Lowes, a DIY chain which makes one's mouth literally drool. But then I am also an ardent admirer of the Aussi chain of DIY stores called Bunnings. OMG give me a Lowes or a Bunnings instead of a dress shop any day.

I can go into ecstasy over an aussi sheep skin paint roller, those clever clips and gadgets that make life so worth living, and I can never believe just how easy DIY is in First World countries.
But the Mending of the Garbage Disposal Unit was not an easy task trust me. Just picture my unhappy plight, Uncle Dave comes home from work after a long hard day, twenty young people drinking his beer all over his house - rainy day - white carpet.

He is required to cook twenty ribeyes to perfection standing at his barbecue in the rain, the rest of us are comfortable in the nice dry house, catching up, reminiscing, drinking his beer and margaritas.
I was casually tossing up a potato bake (the only culinary thing Charlie ever allowed me to learn) and wham, the potato skins refused to be gobbled up by the garbage disposal.

Many moments of sheer terror ensued as I gathered all the able bodied men I could to assist me in an unblockage exercise, all the while sending someone out to detain uncle Dave at the barbecue. But alas, he is like a Jack Russell, his nose for trouble brought him straight to my kitchen midden and I had to fess up to my misdemeanor.
He was remarkably tranquil, I will give him his due, he became "Mein Host with the Most", cooked up the most divine ribeyes for a party of twenty ex college kids, and them turned his capable hand from things all Jamie Oliver, to things of offal, dross and swill.

Twas the spud skins, tucked like tuber vichyssoise, refusing to budge one inch down the drain, completely comfortable in their soggy solanum tuberous u-bend bed.
Monkey wrench in one hand, Bud Light in the other, Uncle Dave got under the sink like any normal swash buckling garburator at a Texan dinner party.

Emerging triumphant with mounds of yam in each paw, we rinsed him off with dishwasher and continued with our merry making.

Was my face red ?

PAB AND THE ACADEMY
FILM: TANGLED
Tuesday 26 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 10.30 a.m.
Walt Disney Pictures presents "Tangled", one of the most hilarious and hair-raising tales ever told. When the kingdom's most wanted - and most charming - bandit, Flynn Rider, hides out in a mysterious tower, he's taken hostage by Rapunzel, a beautiful and feisty tower-bound teen with 70 feet of magical golden hair. Flynn's curious captor, who's looking for a ticket out of the tower where she's been locked away for years, strikes a deal with the handsome thief, and the unlikely duo sets off on an action-packed escapade, complete with a super-cop horse, an over-protective chameleon and a gruff gang of pub thugs. "Tangled" is a story of adventure, heart, humour and hair - lots of hair. Admission: $2.00
FILM: THE QUEEN
Thursday 28 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
The celebrated film is an engrossing, intimate and intelligently witty portrait of some of the monarchy's darkest days in the week following the death of Princess Diana. "Helen Mirren as the Queen is a sensation" (The Times). Admission: $3.00 [free to film subscribers]
DONIZETTI: MARY STUART
Friday 29 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval.
Donizetti's opera offers a great singing-actress tremendous opportunities, especially in the fictitious encounter with her persecutor, Elizabeth I, when royal pride, defiance and finally fury are her undoing, whilst the scenes leading to her execution embrace optimism, regret, love, remorse and despair. Dame Janet Baker's portrayal was regarded as one of the pinnacles of her career, and she chose the role for her farewell to the London operatic stage in 1982 when this recording was made. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]
FILM: I WAS A PENGUIN ZOMBIE
Tuesday 3 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 10.30 a.m.
It's madness, utter madness! Don't cover your eyes or you'll miss the most daring, mad, shocking Penguins missions ever. Skipper, Kowalski, Private and Rico come face to face with zombies, robots, spooky noises and a whole lot of frightening fun. Admission: $2.00
MAO'S LAST DANCER
Thursday 5 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
"Mao's Last Dancer" captures the intoxicating effects of first love and celebrity, the pain of exile and ultimately the triumph of individual endeavour over ideology. It is the true story of a small boy's extraordinary journey from poverty to international stardom, from a grueling apprenticeship as a classical dancer in communist China to the glory of creative freedom in America. But there is a painful price to be paid for his quest for self-expression... "Grand, lucid and absorbing" [The Australian].
Admission: $3.00 [free to film members]

3) Roses And Raspberries
Roses to:
Consumer Council of Zimbabwe!
Whilst stuck in a rather grotty little office in a rather grubby part of town, the people there are friendly, efficient and effective! I was very impressed!
(109 Lutheran House, H.Chitepo/L.Takawira)

Raspberries to:
Management of the High Court of Zimbabwe, Bulawayo:
Whilst in an impressive building in a protected area : The building is falling apart due lack of maintenance etc. - sadly, time and lack of funds etc? However, poor and/or lack of Management only is responsible for the disgusting state of the whole place generally and the uselessness of most of the staff!
Some of the policemen are the only people who seem to able and/or willing to help (even if one has to wake them up in a storeroom whilst trying to find a live body in the place!!). During almost an hour of waiting for somebody/anybody to return from lunch, I had an interesting time wandering around places banned to the public - I kept venturing past signs saying that I would be "arrested and charged for venturing beyond this point" calling 'helloooo' as I went.
But, nobody appeared. When the man I needed to see returned from lunch almost an hour late, he apologised and assured me that he would have returned on time had he known a client was waiting! And then dealt with my queries pleasantly and helpfully. Another man that I met on my travels was pleasant and tried to be helpful. Unfortunately, I can not say the same of any female worker that I dealt with then or on my previous (and first) visit to the High Court. I was disgusted! And saddened!
By and at the general lack of cleanliness,care and pride in themselves and the institution for which they work shown by the people working there, and particularly by Management responsible for same. And, therefore, by and at the apparent contempt and uncaring shown to the Institution that is supposed to represent "justice and fairness for all" in this country.
R.H.

FETE, VOLLEYBALL & NIGHT GOLF
The Fete, Volleyball day and Night Golf competition went ahead on 26th March at the Bulawayo Country Club despite a pretty soggy start to the day with about an hour of torrential rain, followed by Zesa cuts closely trailed by Zesa faults!. Despite these setbacks however, we feel that the day was a huge success with the gates seeing over 700 people passing through it over the course of the day.
Although the leaking sky did deter some of the stall entries - there were quite a few that managed to showcase their wares to an enthusiastic, if slightly damp, crowd. The kids were kept busy with jumping castles, colouring competitions, movies, green hair, popcorn, ice-cream, face painting to name just a few of the things on offer. The volleyball competition was also well supported with everyone having some jolly good fun ankle deep in mud and sand. The night golf was a spectacular sight with the course lit up with dozens of glow sticks and bright green luminous balls shooting off in every direction to the sound of whistles, laughs and more than a few expletives! Gary Stanley played music through-out the day - in rain, in shine, in light, in dark, and into the wee hours of the morning. The staff of the country club and Marion's Catering are to be applauded in keeping the service swift, the drinks cold and the food scrumptious.
The purpose of these events is to show the community a really good time but most importantly, to raise enough money to reach our target of $100,000 for Sean expenses. Without donations and assistance like yours, it would take us much longer to see our goal achieved - time we do not have. We acknowledge that not many companies or individuals have spare finances at this time which makes us that much more grateful for your support.
Thank you to Island Hospice in their support in this fundraising and thank you everyone who attended, donated, sponsored and helped and don't forget to keep ...... fighting back!!!! the list of thank you's is still growing - but so far.... thank you to:
