if you have anymore add them and when i am finished i will be heading back as soon as i save enough money to go.

and this from another thread I just read:

"As you can imagine, things here are a little difficult. All that you have seen and heard are mainly true. There are many things that have not got out.
Most of the supermarkets have been looted of stock. We were forced to reduce our prices by 50%. On from that they have started to release prices in the Daily lie.
The end result has been that we buy a product from the supplier at the reduced price for a dollar, mark up the 20% allowed and get told to sell it the next day for 50 cents.

Many people have been arrested. My house was stormed by a bus load of these people. They were tapping the floors to find a cellar where I hide sugar or Mazoe orange. It was very fortunate that we
were not present at the time. It is much worse in the outlying areas. Places are just being looted. These terrorists come in and order the prices to be reduced, with no basis for the reduction. Their friends and relatives than come in and buy the stuff. The state has admitted as much in today's Daily Lie.

There are many more stories to tell, however I am sure that you get the picture. In my current negative state of mind I believe that it is there intension to destroy everything that can be a threat to them. They wish to take over a few companies. If they can force people to return to the rural areas, they will have total control over them. As for the rest of us, we will be broke so in no way can we be a threat to them. Many middle class will be forced to leave. In the process they are destroying the emergent black businessman. The little guy who through hard work has made something of himself.

The reason for all this I feel is the fear of a cell in a cold European country.

I hope I am wrong, only time will tell. As we speak, many towns have no food in the shops. We have no meat, chicken, pork, colcom left.The supply of fresh fruit and veg is still quite good. We hope to get some chicken and pork early next week."

I have to admit, never a day goes by that I do not desperately miss home. Mostly the bush, the thunderstorms and the smell of the air after the rain. But then I stop and think in real terms - my son has a seriously broken leg. It happened in May last year. Since then he has had two surgeries, taken numerous painkillers, been monitored by one of the top orthopaedic surgeons in the world (okay, that was just luck), receives physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and attends the hospital gym and has even been provided with equipment to use at home. And this has all cost us ... ummm ... nothing!! He's been off work for almost a year now and still receives financial restitution. And if this had happened to him in Zim? They probably would have amputated his leg by now - that is if I could have afforded to pay the medical shortfall. Oh yes, and if anaesthetic had been available to put him under for the surgery. Once the power was on of course. And of course, he would have received full sick pay - for a while. And then?

Living here takes time to get used to, but let's be honest - it does have it's compensations. One day, I hope to be able to go home, but right now I am far too selfish to give up all that I have here.

4. You can pretty much braii any day of the year. True - but the cheapest cuts are $40M
7. Creamsoda. I've recently found a powered one:smiley9: which makes 2litres, but it's revolting:smiley11:
8. Castle. Now selling for $20M/pint - bottle deposit $30M:smiley3:

Telephone charges are now $521,880.59 a unit. (don't forget the 59¢ - considering we don't have coins anymore).

"One assumes that if you live in wales you are not in a marine locked country"

um wales isnt a country, its in a country called the uk which is marinelocked, well apart from than tiny bit where were conected to ireland, but the rest is sea, sea, sea.

"tigerfishing", tiggerfish are goldfish, compared to the fish we have, mowst of them would eat a tigerfish

I could go fishing for sharks, we have around 30 species here, inluding basking and the ocasional great white, and killer whales which could probably kill a lion in one bite

Seriously, isacracorgitan, what planet are you from? We are not always competitive, as in my car is blue therefore its faster...

Little lesson for the Welsh, on Wales - Cymru

http://www.cymnet.co.uk/~sewhgpgc/wales.php
Two different names for the same country. Names that illustrate the divide created when the Saxons cut the land, now known as Wales, off from the rest of Celtic Britain.

The name Wales is derived from an old Saxon word meaning foreigners or outsiders. Where as the name Cymru is derived from a word meaning friends or companions. Interestingly in French Wales is known as Pays de Galle, a name which reflects it‘s Celtic roots and the historical links between the two countries.

Wales (Cymru) has a population of around 2.94 million people, and occupies a land mass of around 20,764 sq Km (8,017 sq miles). The majority of the population live in and around the large cities and old industrial valleys of SE Wales (http://www.cymnet.co.uk/~sewhgpgc/sewales.html).

Wales has a coastline of around 1,300 Km (807 miles), ranging from flat sandy beaches in the north and south of the country, to rugged towering cliffs in the west.

lesson on fishing tomorrow.

[isaracorgitan]

thanks for that joe...how could Wales(and Scotland and N. Ireland) be allowed to compete in international events(such as rugby and soccer) if they weren't countries

[isaracorgitan]

yes there "constituent counrtrys " not "countries"

[Belladonna]

Ummm, constituent basically means made up of! So therefore - made up of four countries, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

[isaracorgitan]

well we still have the sea

[dallas]

I still want to go home, its in the blood Im afraid. I will always pine for the memories of my home

[isaracorgitan]

its arite for some, but i couldnt stay in a landlocked country, Id miss the sea. Must be an island folk thing.

[barto11]

we have kariba by the sea:)

and also it meeans when we go on holiday we hav something to look forward too

[dallas]

we are going to kariba by the sea in may!!! cant wait!!!!! Hope I catch a big tiger!!

[isaracorgitan]

kariba is not near the sea, and tiggers are not native to africa

[joemac]

Give it a rest dude.


Lake Kariba is over 220 kilometers (140 mi) long and up to 40 kilometers (20 mi) in width. It covers an area of 5,580 square kilometers (2,150 sq mi) and its storage capacity is an immense 185 cubic kilometers (44.4 cu mi). The mean depth of the lake is 29 meters (95 ft); the maximum depth is 97 meters (320 ft). It is one of the world's largest man-made reservoirs

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Kariba

And "tiger" referred to "tigerfish"

The second largest and the southern-most species is the Tigerfish (Hydrocynus forskalii) commonly found in the Zambezi River (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zambezi_River) and Lake Kariba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Kariba) in Zimbabwe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwe). This species is often referred to as the best freshwater sport angling fish in the world with the current angling record standing at 16.10kg

Thank you for setting the story straight!!!

[isaracorgitan]

um your comparing a tiny lake, to a vast sea.

and iwas aware of the tiggerfish thing

its interesting english is the official languge in zimbabwe, but it is not in the uk

[joemac]

And it's TIGER fish

TIGGER is a character in Winnie the Pooh.

[Belladonna]

Lake Kariba, in many instances is in fact referred to as an inland sea. This is due to it's size.

And english IS the official language of England and has been for centuries. There is an allegation that French was the official language for a period of 600 years, but there is no evidence in existence, though it is popularly accepted as a fact.

[Exzim]

Lets go fishing...

[Belladonna]

Great idea!! I'm in!!

What a wonderful lesson, thank you. Will you be doing an advanced course?

[Armstrong-Abbott]

Wondered if we had any legal beagles out there that could explain the legality of still holding the deeds to your farm in Zim as and when there is a new President. Every ex-farmer I know still holds their deeds and certificates of 'no interest' for their farms to be purchased by the government.
:help:

[Belladonna]

I don't think that legally, the documents will mean a thing unless a new government comes into power and decides that the farms will be returned. It will be a matter of wait and see, but be ready to move quickly if that is your wish.

[Armstrong-Abbott]

Not an ex-farmer myself but we had nothing there and we have nothing here so always ready to move quickly anywhere! A new Zim would be as good a place as any! LOL

[Angelshark]

thats hi-jacking you bunch, open a new thread. and wahts up with that rat guy. you can see there is something up his ass, look at the eyes. must be a personal portrait.

[dallas]

so funny. I think zim is better because of the memories it holds and the history it holds for us too
