REVENGE WILL BE SWEET

Oh ho ho ho ho revenge is gong to be very sweet indeed !

I am going to get hold of them, immerse them in a bucket of freezing cold water, and then hang them out to dry under an ice cold fan !!

And I am going to watch their every delicious frozen moment with evil intent and the utmost relish

It is after all quid pro quo and I and thousands of airline passengers worldwide have every right to the infliction of this torture I shall even film it and put it on You Tube for all of us Ice Maidens to watch over and over again in delight and retribution

There I was, thirty thousand feet above sea level, with sandals and a straple top, flimsy half mast cargo pants and an almost definite pending case of bronchial pneumonia developing, as every ghastly second crawled past

It was only when I heard the teeth of the passenger behind me chattering that I realised I had not contracted ebola, but that the nasty ghastly mean "son of a preacher man" captain of the plane, had the aircon on full blast at minus 16 degrees centigrade !!

I am the first to admit that I have a funny thermostat, one degree either way of 22 degrees Centigrade and I either need a jersey or a swim !! But this was tortuous in the extreme

Sadly we were strapped in for take off, the fellow on the aisle seat was taking a very heavy nap, such a deep sleep he was in that all my pleas for freedom were falling on deaf ears

My feet were icy, my arms were goosey, my legs were glacially stiff and sore and I could feel every germ in creation heading for my sub zero immune system

It was only when I took my lipstick out to find it frozen solid and frosty that I realised that 100 odd people on board the Boeing, were also in imminent danger of freezing to death

The stewardesses were stoically ignoring my call bell, and when they eventually arrived, stated sweetly that this was not a long haul flight so no blankets were available

Desperate measure were being called for and I wrapped both frozen footsies in two airsick bags! Perhaps I could tear the pages from the "In Flight " magazine and wrap them round my legs and arms using glaciers spit to keep them in place ?

I knew my pashmina was in the locker above me but Mr Aisle Man was snoring soundly and apart from vaulting across him, there was nothing I could do except succumb to the delicious oblivion of freezing to death quietly and unobtrusively

Eventually the flight attendant arrived and stated sweetly that she had managed to persuade the Captain to turn the air conditioner up a tad "Oh" she then said in all innocence, wondering why all the passengers had turned blue "and would you like ice in your drink??"

Grrr its not even funny and so I am planning the icy demise of nearly all the Captains and Crew of aircraft worldwide and I know there are many of you readers who would love to join me ??

RASPBERRIES

"At approx 13:30 today (Tuesday 12th December) I stopped my car at the 14th Avenue/S Parirenyatwa robot A man appeared at the passenger window and rocked my car ( he was probably trying to open the door, which was locked) He then smashed the window and grabbed my handbag from between the seats I screamed and tried to pull my bag back, but failed I then asked two men who were in the car next to me to help and they replied that he was armed with a gun He then ran off into the open ground next to the river and disappeared Needle to say, there was cash, a cellphone, drivers licence and many personal items in my bag

Please also send "Roses" to all the ladies at Drs Roberts & Stevenage who were so kind to me in my shocked, drenched & disheveled state, and also to Anna Androuliakos and the team for the prompt response CL

Please could you record my condolences to Arthur Heron's family ? Arthur was our family butcher for many years, first at the Dundee Butchery and then on his own I remember going into the shop one day and seeing Arthur standing over the Newspaper which was spread out on the floor I asked what on earth he was doing??? he said "reading the paper, my arms have grown too short, I can only read it from up here!!"
I think one of Arthur's sons was at Hamilton with William, our younger son

I would prefer that this remain anonymous and hope someone can help or shed some light Having returned this afternoon from Francistown we were pulled over by police while nearing the end of our very tiring journey through both border posts I was asked to pay a $20 00 fine for having a cooler box in the back seat, which contained appetizers, ice teas and water bottles I was told this was a danger in the event of an accident and indeed illegal We were traveling in a sedan Golf, my sons were both buckled up and in my opinion no crime was committed Having some minutes previously been run off the road by a Zimra "bakkie" driving over the white line, I feel this abhorrent behaviour needs dealing with I should have asked for the police officer's name, but the intimidation made me forget this as a Mother driving alone with two children

At 6 30 in the morning, Leslie Sullivan would say 'Upupupupupup! Time for your exercises', and then John Aldridge would give us 5 minutes of beautiful piano playing and told us what exercises to do He was the only person I ever knew who could play the piano and talk at the same time I sure can't!

Wow thanks for this it also brought back memories of being a wee tot and hearing the "Get up get up get up you sleepy heads!!!" and Saturday morning hits like Gary Glitter "I'm back I'm back as a matter of fact I'm back" or something like that and my Gran's favorite "Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree "

They were special times and a special childhood in spite of the war

Thank you for the memories

My name is Liz Bean and I am Pattie Pink's daughter Having seen the email below I thought I might drop you a line for a blast from the past Sadly Norman passed away in January this year and Mum is now living in a home in Ipswich near Chri y my sister Mum was sadly diagnosed with Alzheimer's and it has been heart breaking to see her deteriorate in front us However she does love to get letters and emails
Liz Bean



Having read this article, it rather dates us as we are now talking 50 years on!! Leslie Sullivan was a wonderful character, who lived next door to me in a flat named Mon Ami, 167 Fife Avenue in the early 60's His daughter Vera is married to Colin Lockie (now living in the Cape somewhere) used to live in Mutare We often spoke of those time when she was here One of Leslie's on air gaffes and dubious jokes (in those days), was the one about - what happens when you put a cat in the washing machine? You get a sock in the pu !! Leslie was banned for a few weeks after that

Coincidently, Sally Donalson's son, Gregg, has an accountancy practice here in Mutare He has since moved down to South Africa somewhere a while ago but the practice still exists

I enjoyed seeing all the old popular names of people who broadcast from the RBC One other name people might remember is John Ward, who was the meteorologist giving us the weather report at night Sadly he has also passed on, on the 17th November, 2011 in England

I am sure you must know that LM Radio is up and running again from Maputo and if you have broadband especially over the weekend or in the evening when some service providers allow you free band width then it is worth a listen to for a walk down memory lane They still use some of old jingles "Have a Happy Day" and there website where you can pick-up the radio stream link from is full of fascinating history of those days in Lourenco Marques and features on all the old DJ's Gerry Wilmot and Leslie Suliivan are featured

All the best

Malcolm

I remember so well all those great times getting up to the radio in Rhodesia and the lovely announcers, In my new life in OZ I live in a small city now called Toowoomba and we have a community radio station run by the volunteers mostly our age and they play all the old tunes of the fifties and sixties as I drive around selling printing they bring back many good days in our loved country so even far over the sea's we remember you all God bless you all

Do Burdett was a very dear and close friend who died at a young age of cancer We still have an antique set of draws which my mother inherited from Don It is to this day called Don Burdett We also have an oil painting of Him My mother went with him to Nice to stay with mutual friends We also knew Don's father Ernest, a very gentle and kind man like Don I used to go the studios in Manica road to watch radio plays being recorded that Don produced Don lived in the avenues for some time in a cottage behind Leslie and Maria Sullivan
I remember driving to work and watching the drivers in the next car hooting with laughter as I was at Leslie's jokes I told my children the tale of Nicky Nicky Tembo Oh So Rembo, Ooh Ma Muchi Gamma Gamma Guchi Even today we occasionally use it

I used to ride with Martin Lock on Sunday mornings We would spend 2 or 3 hours roaming round Chishawasha and the farms around there Dear Keith Kennedy and his second wife Lin I appeared on TV with him and Lawford Sutton Pryce Show was directed by Cy Jaffe ( who I am in regular contact with him) I was active in Reps for several years and appeared with Sue Burnett in the first Caltex play of the year directed by Ken Marshall and written by Neil Jardine (a great guy) Life was so simple then We worked and played hard, but had a lot of fun and camaraderie

We left Zim in 1994 and lived in London till 2009 when we moved to an old family home on the beach in Holland Very bracing! We have 2 sons, one of who lives in Israel and the other in London, who will marry in May

warmest regards

THE IDEAL BOOK FOR CHRISTMAS

This is a story about a paradise lost About an African dream that began with a murder In 1978, in the final, bloodiest phase of the Rhodesian civil war, eleven-year-old Lauren St John moves with her family to Rainbow's End, a wild, beautiful farm and game reserve set on the banks of a slowflowing river The house has been the scene of a horrific attack by guerrillas, and when Lauren's family settles there, a chain of events is set in motion that will change her life irrevocably

Rainbow's End captures the overwhelming beauty and extraordinary danger of life in the African bush Lauren's childhood reads like a girl's own adventure story At the height of the war, Lauren rides through the wilderness on her horse, Morning Star, encountering lions, crocodiles, snakes, vicious ostriches, and mad cows Many of the animals are pets, including miss Piggy and Bacon and an elegant giraffe named Jenny The constant threat of ruthle guerrillas prowling the land underscores everything, making each day more dangerous, vivid, and prized than the last

The book is $20 00 and entire proceeds are being donated to Childrens' Charities in Bulawayo, under the auspices of Morning Mirror and the generous author Lauren St John

This week we have taken delivery of some wonderful plants that would make spectacular gifts:
African violets 3 different colours of Xmas Poinsettia's Phalinopsis orchids in many different colours Bromeliads Birds nest ferns Rhododendron azaleas Brilliant Xmas Zygocactus, just coming into bloom
We now also have a big selection of decorative pebbles and concrete pavers in stock The Pebbles come in a range of sizes from XL to X Small We have the following colours available white, black, brown, banded iron stone, and mixed,
From next week we will also get in decorative wreaths, wicker reindeer and a variety of Xmas related d cor items

We will be open every day from now, including the Unity Day holiday and Sundays We will close for Xmas Day and Boxing Day and then New Years Day and the Monday 2nd Holiday
I am normally at the Nursery at opening and closing times and Lyn is there from around 11 00 each day
