Our traditional early Sunday night was ruined this week as SheHoo Must Sing chose to indulge in a Super Bowl party as does virtually every American the world over. You know its very selfish of the Americans to start the game so late in the afternoon, I mean are they even giving a single thought to football fans in the rest of the world? Now if the Super Bowl kick off is at 18.25 Eastern Time, that means we in Africa have to stay up till one thirty on a Monday morning to watch !! AND we have to be at work at 7 am the same day !! The Super Bowl had not even ended by the time SheHoo was getting ready for work !! Ah but it is such fun, 150 buffalo wings were purchased, vast quantities of beer (Budweiser of course) were put on ice, and we settled down to watch one of the most spectacular events on the worlds sporting calendar. The Super Bowl adverts are brand new each year and legendary in their brilliance and they have amazing superstars to entertain at half time. This year Christine Aguilera sang the USA national anthem, and she got the words wrong !! This year the much feted playoff between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburg Steelers (won by the Packers) was held at the brand spanking new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington Texas. The recent unusual heavy snow falls in Texas put some strain on the stadium as Texans are not used to a lot of snow, several people were hurt when tons of snow fell off the giant roof. The Super Bowl is the most watched TV show ever I believe, but oh my goodness it was a late late night for football fans in Africa !! ++++++++ 2) NOTICES AND EVENTS DUTCH REFORMED MINI BAZAAR FRIDAY 25TH FEBRUARY, 2011 AT 5PM.

This beginners' class starts right from scratch with all the basics. Wear comfortable clothes you can stretch in, and you can either dance barefoot or with some slim and very comfortable, supple shoes. Please bring water and one of your favourite scarves to tie around your hips, if you don't have a coin-belt. Cost: $6 per class (includes $1 to venue) Please note that our weekly class at Shape Gym is still going on Wednesdays 4 - 5pm which is more for beginners with some experience. And a bit of info for your interest: Every woman can belly dance! In ancient cultures, belly dancing was done by women for women to benefit female health, fertility, childbirth, and general well-being at every life phase. It is suitable for women of every age, shape and size. Belly dancing celebrates the beauty of a woman in her natural form, using movements that follow the natural shape and flow of the female body. It is excellent for toning the waist, hips, abs, and for exercising in a fun way. It is about you finding your own beautiful and confident expression, through dance, whilst giving your body an enjoyable and effective work-out. On Friday 18th February at 5.30pm, we will be starting 'FREE DANCE" at "Stillhaven": This is a class inspired by the free dance classes I have attended in Durban, Cape Town and London - it is all over the world now - a dance class that gives people the opportunity to let go, release tension, unwind, open up, and just enjoy the sheer delight and liberation of moving your body to music. Of course it is also a brilliant work-out for your body! But also a way into your heart, and a way out of your head. Open to both men and women. For further enquiries contact Kelly Bentley 0773 660 940 or see you soon on the dance floor! +++++++++ A new concept for Bulawayo!

Call me by my old familiar names, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Laugh as we always laughed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort. Life means all it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was: there is absolutely unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of sight. I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost.

Bruce passed away peacefully in Walderslade, Kent, UK in the early hours of Sunday 30th January 2011 after a two years battle against cancer. Bruce was born in Ronford, Essex 11th July 1934 and came to Africa in about 1947/8. Growing up in Bulawayo, he went to Gifford and Milton High Schools and was a printer by trade. He played the violin from an early age and was a member of the Bulawayo Municipal Orchestra. He moved to Salisbury (Harare) in the 1960's and was first violinist for the Harare Municipal Orchestra. He was a great viola player and concentrated on that instrument and stopped playing the violin for concerts held in Harare. Whilst living in Harare, he often travelled back to Bulawayo to assist the late Derek Hudson with concerts - he did this for many years. Bruce was an avid book reader and collector of books, many of which he had played an integral part in producing. He studied for and obtained his Degree in History with First Class Honours. A great lover of the game of golf, Bruce was a member of Royal Harare Golf Club and belonged to Seniors Golf Society. He was married to Grace in 1963 and they had two children, David Christopher and Natalie (now Dr Natalie Brine), who left to settle in England several years ago. In about 2002, Bruce and Grace left to join their family there.

Please take note of the contents of the following extract: We write to advise that one of the commercial banks has detected an original USD5 note which has been "faked" into a USD50 note. The note is genuine and therefore will pass through the UV light or fake note detector pen. However the difference is that the original USD 50 has the face of "GRANT" whereas the USD5 note has the face of "LINCOLN". At the back of the USD50 note there is a picture of the "US CAPITOL" whereas the USD5 note has the picture of "LINCOLN MEMORIAL" CHANCES ARE THAT A NUMBER OF SUCH FAKE NOTES ARE ALREADY IN CIRCULATION. May you kindly exercise extreme caution when accepting the $50.00 notes. Tellers and custodians must exercise extreme care when handling these notes.

As 'Newbie's' (myself, hubby and two young kids) to Bulawayo in the early 1980's, this delightful bookshop soon became a regular stop-off on our monthly Saturday morning excursions into town. We'd do 'the big shop' at the Hypermarket, then whizz to Hafaeli's bakers for bread rolls, and of course, cream cakes and I think there was some sort of deli either in the shop or close by where we purchased salami's, brawn (oh yum), cheeses and olives. With these purchases safely ensconced in the super-cool box under the tarpaulin of the Mazda bakkie, it was time to visit the bookshop. What a treat it was for all of us. It was like stepping into a book shop in, say, Cambridge, or Stamford, or Ely, so English it felt. It was a welcome haven in an uncertain world for me (I still hadn't entirely settled in my new country), and I soon felt at home there. And of course, with the added bonus of the cafe at the back what could possibly be nicer? So, we did the coffee, the cake, the choosing of the books: "The new Robert Ludlum is in, dear." "Shall I take out the Catherine Cookson?" "What about a Jeffrey Archer?" and "Get the sprogs another milkshake please, I need more time to decide." What wonderful memories your story bought back. But, oh dear Mags, you've no idea the shameful memory it has evoked, too. With regards to that book shop, I did something so awful nigh on 30 years ago that I've kept quiet about it every since. I thought my secret was safe, as long as I kept it well tucked away, but then you came along and brought it all flooding back. So I guess it's confession time. Here goes. One Saturday I took out Robert Le Carre's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy from the (then) Christian Vigne bookshop. I got home and started to read it but couldn't get on with it so I put it down. It got put away somewhere, then somewhere else, then we moved house and before I knew it, we were living in Botswana! And, honestly, I meant to bring the book back every time I visited Bulawayo, but I kept forgetting to pack it. Then we came home to the UK. The Tinker Tailor came with and is still sitting on my bookshelf. On the inside is a paper sticker with the 'due back' date on it. The date reads: 30th September 1984. That's nearly 27 years ago. How bad is that? I feel terrible Mags, I really do. I've gone all hot just thinking about it. I think it's the 'Christian' in the shop's name that always gets to me, which only makes it worse. I'm convinced that all the ills that have befallen me in the past 27 years are because I never took that book back and that Him up there is punishing me, or at least getting his own back. And to make matters worse, the 30th September is my sons birthday! I mean, how much would the fine be now, if I took it back? How many cakes would it buy? How many books for that matter? The irony is I still haven't read it all the way through, and I doubt the excuse 'I'm a slow reader' will cut any ice come Judgement Day. All I can say is, to all concerned: I'm so sorry. I'll try to do better next time. Regards, and much hope, strength and love to all you beautiful Bulawayo people. Jane Abbott.

Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks underground.. The colder the ground, the more dense the fuel. When it gets warmer, petrol expands. So, buying in the afternoon or in the evening, your litre is not exactly a litre . In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature play an important role. 1 degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps. Another most important tip is to fill up when your tank is HALF FULL. The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank the less is the air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine. Another reminder, if there is a fuel truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy, DO NOT fill up--most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom. DO SHARE THESE TIPS WITH OTHERS - IT IS IMPORTANT FOR AS MANY PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS, ESPECIALLY IN THE WAKE OF RISING PRICES. ++++++++ The content that is published in Morning Mirror does not necessarily reflect the editor's opinion.
