CASTLE CORNER MEMORIES

You know you came from Zim when..........

You eat cuts of meat today that were ration meat in the old days.

You have given up looking for a good meat pie.

You had a servant called sixpence.

You miss the smell of red stoep polish.

You bore or frighten your children with harrowing tales of your
deprived upbringing in the days when TV started at 17H00 and kids were
expected to ride push bikes to school...

You still butter bread by holding the slice in your hand...

You wish you'd had the presence of mind to keep mum's morris minor

You ate supper in Vila da Manhica, the Vila Perry, Maxies or Guido's on
occasions.

You can remember the beer adverts on the tin trays the hotel waiters
used...

You can remember thinking that Bengal Juice was OK.

You still believe it's wrong to use bad language in mixed company

You still think of traffic lights as robots

You know the words to more than two ABBA songs

You HATE washing your car and mowing your lawn.

Ironing is still something other people do

You still find it hard to throw things away when they could be fixed

You went to a school that taught real subjects like grammar and history

You went to a school where instead of being "counseled", unruly
students were beaten - and it worked!

You complained to your father that you were disciplined at school -
only to find he thought it was a good idea.

You used to call your parents' friends "Uncle" and "Aunty"

You have driven on a strip road

You long for that soft morning glow that brightens the Matabeleland sky
between 6am and 8am.

Really miss a great, fantastic, bed rattling, window shaking, earth
tremoring, all-kids-and-animals-in-the-parents'-bed tropical storm.

You parked your car in a car park and couldn't find it again, because
it was a blue Renault 4.

Someone stole your car and returned it the next day, because it was a
Renault 4 and they felt sorry for you (hell they were too embarrassed
to be seen driving it)!

You remember watching the brown grass turn green after a day's rain.

Arguing that Castle was for men Lion was for kids, and pommies

You put green stripes on your R4 so that you could find it in that car
park!!!

You found a hundred R4s with green stripes on them !!

You still wonder what this thing polystyrene is, you know of kaylite.

You still refer to Koki pens as Neo's.

Muuush is still common in your vocabulary, as is 'lekker'.

You still have Wrex Tarr's "Chilapalapa" LP's and know the words to
"Cockie Lobbin".

You hear crickets in July and remember the December Christmas beetles.

You know or still write to someone from PE, Saints, Churchill, Ellis
Robins, Falcon College, Plumtree, Eveline High, Townsend School,
Chaplin, Sinoia, Plummers, Guinea Fowl or Gwebi Agricultural College.

You drank Tanganda tea or Preema Coffee (or Daybreak).

You shopped at Truworth's, Edgar's, Meikle's or Kingston's, Sanders and
Haddon and Sly.

You had an avocado, mango, guava and pawpaw tree in your garden and
went bike riding to friends houses to pick mulberry leaves for your
silkworms.

You played in a sand pit and on a jungle gym.

You thought bilharzia was an incurable disease but still swam in the
rivers, dams anyway.

You remember jacaranda trees in full bloom on North Ave.

You were once a Grey Street Cowboy.

You ate hot dogs at Fritz's Pie Carts on Grey Street.

You remember when a Coke or ice-lolly cost a tickie.

You miss the taste of bream fried on the side of the dam five minutes
after you caught it.

You have at least one ivory, soapstone or wooden carving.

You still remember the taste of gemsquash and melted butter, mealies
and Mazoe Orange Juice.

You think there is no green surpassing that of the Sandawana emeralds.

You still expect to see a chongololo after an afternoon rain and a few
flying ants.

You still believe your A-levels were harder than most first-year
University courses today.

You still refer to an expert as a "fundi".

You still say "braai" instead of "barbecue" or "kopje" instead of
"hill".

The following names mean something to you: "Sandro's", "Arkies", "Club
Tomorrow", The Carlton Club, The Stork Club, Bretts and La Boheme

You collected coke cans on your trips to South Africa 'cos they were so
cool.

You still can't get your head around the idea of throwing away a glass
coke or beer bottle, instead of taking it back for the deposit.

You remember the days when you got change from your bus-fare, and used
 it to buy sweets at the tuck shop.

You've even sat at Castle Corner in the cricket grounds - and can't
 remember who won the cricket match.

You bought a Cricket Union T-shirt from a girl vending them around the
cricket grounds - and tried to get her to sell you the one she was
wearing.

You were there when the 'chicken farmer' beat England - who could
forget "Eddo".

You think the "all Blacks" are the Zimbabwe Tennis Team.

You were a member of Hellenics / Callies / Raylton / Alex / Postals /
Old Miltonians / Mac Club / B.A.C. / Queens / or Raylton.

You've ever been boating on Lake Mac - before the hyacinth.

You've ever driven up to Montclair in Inyanga for an evening's gambling
and been back at work the next day.

You still think the most haunting sound in the world is the cry of the
fish eagle.

You've never carried your own golf clubs, and think that golf carts are
a sign of weakness.

You've spent an hour looking for a lost golf ball at the 'police'
course or Salisbury South - on the fairway!

You thought that an evening at Reps was the height of culture.

You still call a Mongolian restaurant a 'Manchurian'.

Good beer comes in brown bottles.

You know at least one person who has 'streaked' at the Salisbury
Cricket Grounds.

You remember sitting for hours in petrol queues - and not getting any.

You even got fifteen people into a VW Kombi - long enough to get past
the gates at the 'drive-in'.

You made out in the back of a car at the 'Nitestar' , the Sky View or
the Mabelreign Drive-in.

You thought the Borrowdale Road was a motorway.

You remember with nostalgia the days when the Zim Dollar was trading at
eleven to one against the greenback.

 .......... Those were indeed the good old days - how privileged we are
to have had them.

APRIL FOOLS DAY 

The most widespread theory about the origin of April Fool's Day involves
the Gregorian calendar reform of the late sixteenth century. In
sixteenth-century France, the start of the new year was observed on
April
first. Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar for the
Christian world, and the new year fell on January first. There were some
people, however, who hadn't heard or didn't believe the change in the
date,
so they continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April first. Others
played
tricks on them and called them "April fools." They sent them on a
"fool's
errand" or tried to make them believe that something false was true. In
France today, April first is called "Poisson d'Avril." French children
fool
their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends' backs. When the
"young fool" discovers this trick, the prankster yells "Poisson
d'Avril!"
(April Fish!)

 

Do you think your husband would smell something fishy if you stuck a
paper fish to his back!!!!!!

 

*Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he isn't. A
sense
of humor was provided to console him for what he is. - Horace Walpole
English novelist

 Subject: Don't Put Water in the


           Microwave


Don't Put WATER in the MICROWAVE 


I was very glad to get this email from a friend, because I have been 


guilty of heating water in a microwave many times. You'll be glad you 


read it. I also suggest passing it along to friends and family. 


About five days ago, my 26-year-old son decided to have a cup of
instant 


coffee. He took a cup of water and put it in the microwave to heat it 


up (something that he had done numerous times before). I am not sure
how 


long he set the timer for but he told me he wanted to bring the water
to 


a boil. When the timer shut the oven off, he removed the cup from the 


oven. As he looked into the cup he noted that the water was not 


boiling. Then instantly the water in the cup "blew up" into his face. 


The cup remained intact until he threw it out of his hand but all the 


water had flown out into his face due to the buildup of energy. His 


whole face is blistered and he has 1st and 2nd degree burns to his
face, 


which may leave scarring. He may also have lost partial sight in his 


left eye. While at the hospital, the doctor who was tending to him 


stated that this is a fairly common occurrence and water (alone) should 


ever be heated in a microwave oven. If water is heated in this manner, 


omething such as a wooden stir stick or a tea bag should be placed in 


the cup to diffuse the energy. 
 Here is what our science teacher has to say on the matter: 


Thanks for the microwave warning. I have seen this happen before. It >


is caused by a phenomenon known as super heating. It can occur any
>time >


water is heated and will particularly occur if the vessel that the
>water >


is heated in is new. What happens is that the water heats faster than >


the vapour bubbles can form. If the cup is very new then it is unlikely
>


o have small surface scratches inside it that provide a place for >the >


bubbles to form. As the bubbles cannot form and release some of the
>heat >


that has built up, the liquid does not boil, and the liquid continues
>to >


heat up well past its boiling point. What then usually happens is that >


the liquid is bumped or jarred, which is just enough of a shock to
>cause >


the bubbles to rapidly form and expel the hot liquid. The rapid >


formation of bubbles is also why a carbonated beverage spews when
opened >


after having been shaken
  Please pass this on to everyone you know, it could save a lot of pain
>


and suffering.

ANTI  HIJACK  TRUST  REPORT

 

Monday 29/03/04

 

There were 25 hijackings within 2 weeks in our beautiful Bulawayo.  Out
of that report, so far not ONE car has been recovered, and I have only
dealt with 7 victims.  This is frightening and goes to show that cars
are getting out of the country easily and/or broken up within the city
surrounds as spare parts.  The luxury cars naturally are getting out
crossing borders, some with registration books already to hand when
they arrive, with all the correct details on them or going through
existing roads that do not have to go through borders. The Nissan
Sunny's, Mazda 323, Nissan Sentra's, Toyota Corrolla's and Cressida's
are used in other crimes or as get away cars and then eventually broken
down as spares or just torched.

 

Hijackings are taking place at all times during day and night and the
Modus Operandi can differ quite a bit.  Today I will highlight one at
present.  People leaving restaurants or pubs generally have relaxed
from their night out and do not even look around when leaving the
building to where they walk to their car.  Everyone jumps in the car
and sometimes don't lock the doors, wind the windows down and drive
home without even looking in review mirrors!  In the meanwhile, the
hijackers travel quite close behind with their lights off - trust me,
you will not see them unless you are driving in an extremely well lit
area and are observing all that is around -  when the driver pulls into
the driveway (which you should not be doing, but pulling on the verge
of the road), the hijackers have you where they want you.  Every single
hijacking now is taking place with rifles or pistols - do not fight
back assuming it could be a toy, I have victims to prove to you that
they are not! Do NOT carry a weapon to retaliate, you will never be
fast enough to get it out and use by the time the hijackers are already
pulling you out of the car and then that gives the hijackers just
another weapon to use. If you are in a routine, note that the hijackers
who want your car, will also know your routine.  Change habits now,
before it is too late.

 

I am still desperate to give talks to various groups and companies in
order to raise the awareness of how serious this crime is in Bulawayo. 
Please do not hesitate to contact me on 011-701 323 or crime@mweb.co.zw

 

Take care

Tracey Burns

FROM FIONA

I recently received notice to move out of my apartment, as the landlord
is selling his home and wants to move in before the end of May - so I
am in a bit of a pickle !   I am basically looking for a 1 bedroom
cottage or flat, fairly close to town.  I am 33 years old and
single, so security is also important. 

Do you think you could include my request in your next paper.  My
contact numbers are; 880400 (w) and 011630613.

THOUGHT FROM ABROAD

I would like to find out some information regarding the Birchenough
Nursing Home in Gwelo. I would like to contact them directly and
wondered if they have an email address. I was born there in 1962 and
your site was the only reference I could find. I'm not sure if the
home is still open as I no longer have any contacts in Zimbabwe. My
family moved to the UK when I was three.

Thank you very much.
Sincerely
Celia Brayshaw

CELIA PLEASE SEND YOU E MAIL ADDRESS !!

Please would you publish a 'wanted' notice.

I'm trying to trace two brothers, Ian and Alan (Allan?) Pearson, who
were both at Milton in the early 50s.

Ian was in my class and we have a class photo from Form 4 in 1954.
That was 50 years ago and we are trying to trace everyone in that
photo. Ian is the only one missing. Alan was his elder brother.

If anyone has any information on what happened to either brother it
could be a great help.
