"LIFE WITHOUT CHARLIE"
OUR LITTLE FAMILY CAME ABOUT IN SPITE OF A SOMEWHAT CLOSE ENCOUNTER
WITH THE GALLOWS.
OUR ANCESTORS WERE OF THE DREADED BLACK DOUGLAS CLAN IN SCOTLAND IN THE
DAYS OF BONNIE PRINCE CHARLIE.
WE WERE IN FACT RELATED TO LADY FLORA MCDONALD WHO WAS SOMEONE RATHER
SPECIAL TO THE WEE PRINCE (HERE I MUST GIVE CONSPIRATORIAL NOD
NOD....WINK WINK... !! )
OOCH AYE, CAN YOU JUST PICTURE THOSE BRAW SCOTTISH LADDIES, RACING
ACROSS THE HEATHER, KILTS A SWIRLING, SPORRANS A TWIRLING, IN HOT
PURSUIT OF THE LAIRDS PRIZE SHEEP !!
BUT ALTHOUGH WE REFORMED MANY CENTURIES AGO ,I AM CONVINCED HOWEVER OUR
FAMILY WAS DEFINITELY THE WORKING CLASS VARIETY.
"BETWEEN STAIRS" DID I HEAR YOU SAY WITH YOUR EYEBROWS EVER SO SLIGHTLY
RAISED ? NOT AT ALL, JUST PLAIN SHEEP STEALERS, MINERS AND ARTISANS,
CARPENTERS AND THE LIKE. AND OF COURSE WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THAT
BECAUSE SOME OF THE WORLDS BEST PEOPLE WERE CARPENTERS WERE THEY NOT !!
MINERS OF COURSE IN THE FINEST SENSE OF THE WORD, GREAT UNCLE GEORGE
WAS OF COURSE MINISTER OF MINES IN RHODESIA IN THE FORTIES I AM PROUD
TO SAY, AND HIS GREAT GRANDNEPHEW GARY IS POSSIBLY THE MOST SOUGHT
AFTER GOLD METALLURGIST IN THE WHOLE OF AUSTRALASIA TODAY.
SO WITH ALL THIS ANCESTRAL SMELL OF SAWDUST IN MY HAIR, AND THE LONGING
TO FEEL A WONDERFUL PIECE OF RAW WOOD BETWEEN MY NON CALLOUSED PALMS, I
TOOK TO THE SCREW DRIVER AND DRILL WITH RELISH, DURING MY RECENT STAY
IN JOBURG.
I SHALL FONDLY REMEMBER THIS SHORT PERIOD OF MY LIFE AS "LIFE WITHOUT
CHARLIE"
IT WAS ACADEMIC REALLY, FOUR HOLES TO BE DRILLED, ONE WALL JUST OUT OF
REACH EVEN ON TIP TOES, FOUR SCREWS, AND A BEAUTIFULLY PAINTED SIGN, TO
BE HUNG ON SAID WALL.
NOW I DON'T GET BAULKED EASILY, INSTEAD OF DOWNING TOOLS AND HEADING
FOR A WINE BAR, I FACED EACH PROBLEM WITH PRAGMATISM AND FORTITUDE. IN
FACT ONCE I GET THE BIT BETWEEN MY TEETH (NO PUN INTENDED) I RARELY
GIVE UP UNTIL EITHER I AM DEAD, OR THE WALL HAS FALLEN DOWN.
NOT ONE OF MY DASTARDLY THIEVING WORKING CLASS ANCESTORS THOUGH, HAD
THOUGHT TO ADVISE ME THAT ONE'S DRILL BIT NEEDS TO BE THE SAME SIZE AS
ONES SCREW OR SLIGHTLY LARGER EVEN IF ONE IS TO USE A PLASTIC PLUG.
THAT ONE'S SCREWS NEED TO BE THE SAME SIZE AS THE HOLES IN THE SIGN....
WAS ALSO NOT MENTIONED.
THAT ONE SHOULD NOT USE AN ELECTRIC DRILL IN THE RAIN, THAT TOPIC NEVER
ENTERED ANY OF MY CONVERSATIONS WITH MY JAILBIRD ANCESTORS. (WE WILL
NOT CONTINUE WITH THAT HOWEVER AS MY SHOULDER IS STILL TENDER TO THE
TOUCH)
AND FINALLY AND I SUPPOSE THEY CANNOT BE BLAMED FOR THIS, IS THAT NO
ONE IN MY IMMEDIATE CIRCLE OF PRESENT DAY (MANY OF THEM ALSO EXCONS FOR
VARIOUS POLITICALLY INDUCED REASONS) WORKING CLASS FRIENDS OR RELATIVES
, TOLD ME THAT A NEW CORDLESS ELECTRIC SCREW DRIVER CAN GO BACKWARDS
AND FORWARDS !!!! WHAT I MEAN TO STAY IT CAN EITHER SCREW THE SCREW IN
OR SCREW THE SCREW OT, IF YOU GET MY JIST.
NOW ALL WE REALLY NEEDED WERE FOUR HOLES, BUT SEVEN HAD TO SUFFICE IN
THE END, AND A LIBERAL STUFFING OF THE NEW LOVE OF MY LIFE, A COMPOUND
CALLED "SCREWPLUG".
NO ITS NOT A RUDE WORD INVENTED BY A THWARTED WANNABE ARTISAN, IT IS A
DELIGHTFUL LITTLE MIXTURE WHICH CAN COVER A MULTITUDE OF SINS.
NO NEED TO DO THE WHOLE 'CORRECT SCREW SIZE, CORRECT SIZE DRILL BIT,
CORRECT SIZE RAWL PLUG THANG....INDEED NO EXACT FINICKY MEASURING
NEEDED.
ALL YOU DO IS DRILL FOUR MASSIVE HOLES ANYWHERE IN THE "ALMOST RIGHT"
VICINITY,
ADD A LITTLE WATER TO YOUR "SCREWPLUG", STUFF ALL FOUR HOLES WITH GREAT
APLOMB, PLACE YOUR SIGN OVER THE WHOLE GHASTLY EYESORE, HEY PRESTO IN
GO THE SCREWS IN A JIFFY, (EVEN EASIER WHEN YOU FIND OUT THE CORRECT
WAY TO GET YOUR NEW CORDLESS ELECTRIC SCREW DRIVER TO WORK,) AND VOILA,
A PERFECTLY HUNG SIGN.... (AND AS LONG AS NO ONE EVER TAKES IT OFF
AGAIN, YOU ARE SAFE.)
THERE IT WAS IN ALL ITS GLORY.... MADE IN BULAWAYO... ERECTED BY ME....
"6 CERES STREET" IT READ PROUDLY.
THE WEE PRINCE WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD OF ME.
HODENDUM
EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY..... THE AUTHORITIES CAME ROUND TO TELL ME....IT
WAS NOT 6 CERES STREET AFTER ALL....THEY GOT THE NUMBER WRONG...IT WAS
REALLY ...WAIT FOR IT.... NUMBER 5 ....BUT HEY....WHO CARES.....SOB

THE CHEAPER OF TWO EVILS
Two recent court cases have earned the attention of newspaper readers in
South Africa. One person was fined R1 000 for not having a TV license.
Another was released on bail for R500 after being arrested for murder.
The moral of this South African story: if you do not have a TV license
and the inspector comes round, kill him. You'll save R500.

THOUGHTS FROM ABROAD
I was born at the Mater Dei in Bradfield in 1970, and lived at 52
Catherine
Berry Drive (the house was called Rory-Taylor - I wonder where that
wrought
iron sign got to...) until 1981, when we moved to SA. My mom
commissioned
the house built, and I wonder what it looks like today. It was stunning
when we left it, and it is not the romance of time fogging my memory -
we
have loads of photos still! My aunt and uncle lived at 66 Windamere
Road,
Hillside - another house built from scratch - lucky to have a master
builder
in the family. I went to Tennyson School until we left Zimbabwe. I
know on
should move on, but I have such great memories as a child, and often
think
of my upbringing in R.

CONDOLENCES
You are probably aware that my Dad Wally passed away on Sunday morning.
He was a wonderful father, gentleman, well known and respected in
Bulawayo. We were just fortunate to have had his 90th birthday in
October 2003 and a Christmas together. Sadly my daughters Tash and Sam
have booked to visit home but will only arrive in March, so sadly he
never had the chance of seeing his granddaughters again and his great
granddaughter who is almost one year old.
We have had some wonderful tributes from friends both within and
outside Zimbabwe and it's a pleasure knowing he had such wonderful
friends.
