And I never see my old friends face, For life is a swift and terrible race, He knows I like him just as well, As in the days when I rang his bell. And he rang mine but we were younger then, And now we are busy, tired old men. Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired of trying to make a name. "Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim Just to show that I'm thinking of him." But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And distance between us grows and grows. Around the corner, yet miles away, "Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today." And that's what we get and deserve in the end. Around the corner, a vanished friend. Remember to always say what you mean. If you love someone, tell them. Don't be afraid to express yourself. Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you. Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.

Friday and Saturday, October 1 and 2. Book at Bulawayo Theatre. More details if needed: Once again Masvingo is coming up with an hilarious farce to be presented at the Bulawayo Theatre on October 1 and 2. This is the fourth year in succession that Masvingo Drama Circle is traveling a comedy to Bulawayo and during this period, have built up an enviable reputation for quality productions. Last year the two performances were booked out before the Masvingo company arrived in the city. Once again the director of the play is Doug Hill. This time the play is by Michael Cooney, son of the noted Ray Cooney who has been writing sell-out farces for the past forty years. Michael follows in his father's footsteps and Cash on Delivery, the latest offering, is as funny as any of Ray Cooney's plays. The story revolves around Eric Swan, who, for years, has been defrauding the Social Security authority by claiming cash allowances for numerous fictitious lodgers, ailing family members and a variety of other fictitious characters. An inspector from the Department calls to investigate one claim, followed by his superior, the domineering Ms Cowper, and the fun starts. With the help of his friend Norman, Eric starts inventing other characters, there are numerous name changes, the inspector is sent onto the roof to locate an offending party, an undertaker arrives to remove a supposedly dead body; Eric struggles to prevent the 'body' from being taken away for cremation, lightning strikes and destroys all the Department's evidence and finally, after all the chaos and confusion, Ms Cowper finds an amusing and inventive method way of resolving everything as the play ends. The play moves at a frenetic pace and should have audiences in gales of laughter throughout. The play is suitable for all ages. The leading roles are played by Anthony Lubbe, Micah Zinduru, Graeme Nish, Anna Marie Matthews and Moira Rice, all of whom are well-known to audiences both in Bulawayo.

What we need is a massive and strong protest against the unjustified and astronomical telephone charge increases introduced by Tel-One. The unit charges have been increased overnight from $120 to $585, a five-fold increase. This is justified by neither the current rate of inflation nor an improvement in the quality of service provided. By comparison, fixed land-line operators overseas have cut their rates by an average of 50% over the last couple of years. It would appear therefore that these increases are the result of either pure greed or incompetence. It is likely that several businesses will not be able to sustain such unrealistic increases and will have to close down. At a time when the Governor of the Reserve Bank is trying, quite successfully, to control inflation in Zimbabwe, the latest measure is tantamount to economic sabotage. These telephone charge increases will doubtlessly have a 'domino' effect on all businesses, like fuel price increases do, and you can expect other charges/fees/rates and subscriptions to increase in order to off-set these! Let's try to be united in protest against these increases. ++++++ SMALLS WANTED: MAID PREFERABLY MIDDLE AGE WITH NO CHILDREN. MUST READ/WRITE ENGLISH, BASIC COOKING SKILLS.

Call Rowland on 64481[B] and 243969 [H]. ==== ANTI HIJACK TRUST BULAWAYO UPDATE 03/09/04 Thank you to all those people who contact me, wanting to know the truth behind rumours. Hopefully we are making the rumours calm down a bit, but we also know they will never stop, unless all of us pull together and not listen to rubbish that comes out of some peoples mouths, and use our own integrity to find the truth from the "horse's mouth" so to speak. Attempted hijackings are starting up again, so if you are a victim of this, please do contact me so that I can keep the statistics and keep tabs on a pattern forming. Remember not to panic if you feel you are being followed, drive directly to your police station, hooting in order to get the attention of the police inside who will come to your assistance. I have a few victims who have been harassed on Fife Street between 12th and 9th Avenues by gangs ranging from 4 to 7 young men. They bang on the car distracting the person inside, slashing tyres and trying to open the car doors or putting their hands through the windows. Be very alert in this area and drive off if they say your tyre is flat (the chances that it is flat is quite high, considering they have most probably already slashed it). So what, just drive to a safe area to get it changed, preferably at a reputable garage. This week I would like to state to people, please do not give out too much information about yourself to anyone that you do not know or in a public area, there are far too many "ears" around and they are very quick to act on information given out freely. The criminals just have to follow you from these areas and find out your address. This includes the following: • Talking to friends in supermarkets, coffee houses or restaurants, stating how much you may have sold a house, or car or any dealings with money. • Do not write a cheque out in full view of the person in front and behind you showing your physical address and signature, which is usually done at tills in supermarkets. Write your address and info on the back of the cheque before hand. • Giving out your physical address to someone looking for work, or trying to sell you that lovely sculpture. • Documents in handbags, briefcases that state your physical address, phone numbers and every bank card information that you really don't need to carry around with you. • Do not put your home telephone number on your cell under the word "home" this gives the criminals a chance to phone that number if they have stolen your cell to contact not only you but your domestic if he/she answers the phone. • Do not let strangers know that you are a single woman with/without children in a house or flat - this usually comes up in neighbourhood meetings, and you do not know who is in that room that could harass you. • Same goes with people stating they run a business from their homes - refer to above! • Careful what you say in front of your domestics - they may seem part of the family, but remember, if they are intimidated they will look after themselves first this is normal human behaviour. • Do not write addresses down on sponsor sheets. For anyone who wants to come to support group meetings that have been hijacked or been involved in a house robbery (meaning guns held to their heads), please do not hesitate to contact me, as meetings are on the 3rd Tuesday of every month from 13:30 Hours. Venue will be given out to you when you contact me. I also do speeches for groups, companies and schools. Each talk naturally does differ, especially when primary schools are involved.

If its a Byo directory you are looking for,I had the same problem,and as an accountant,working from home ,I got tired of listening to what a wonderful organisation it is whilst waiting in a queue. The amount of money I lost in "lost time"and the frustration,made me look for an alternative. I found it in buying the Bulawayo Directory from Directory Publishers on the Plumtree road by Halsteds. It is currently $60,000(could change like every other price,daily-Eggs $10,100 a doz.) a copy. Ive only had it a month,IM sure it has already paid for itself in lost time,but more importantly no more frustration!!!! I hope that this email helps the Allens and maybe many more if you print this in your next Mirror.
