There comes a time when any cellphone user has had enough.

Enough short messages lost in the wind.

Enough calls dropped for no evident reason.

Enough ineplixable network outages, signal droppages and service stoppages.

Every user has their limit, and I believe I have received enough product offers and random useless midnight messages from Econet to last me a lifetime

I am a fan of curry. I will comb through any restaurant menu and if I find a chicken, beef or lamb curry, I will order that first. It is always a surprise to find a nice place with a good, robust curry that’s not too hot, like I did the other day. Patty’s Kitchen is in back of Sam Levy’s village, across the car-park near the old bowling alley.

I just took this screenshot from the website of The Standard. There is, of course, a long and colourful history of spelling howlers on Zimbabwe’s news websites, The Herald being the standard-bearer (teehee), but NewsDay is fighting hard to take that cup, and The Independent has moments. Does no-one with responsibility actually CHECK the website after uploading and updating is done
