New Feature: Gardening with
Brig. (ret'd) "Nuke" Killer!
In the Spring a young couple's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of –
gardening.
Shopping in Sandton is proud to announce that we have obtained the
exclusive services of renowned gardening expert Brigadier (retired) James
"Nuke" Killer. In future editions he may answer your
gardening questions. We started with an interview to introduce him to our
readers:
Shopping in Sandton: Brigadier, could you please tell our readers how
you made the transition from fearless military man to renowned gardening expert?
Brig. Killer: When I retired from my distinguished army career a
few years ago, I looked
for a
hobby. I was pleased to find that my military talents could be applied to
gardening.
SIS: Ah, you mean things like strategic planting in the right seasons,
optimum deployment of resources to gain a tactical advantage over pests and
weeds; that
sort of thing?
Brig: No, not really... I'm good at
shouting, stomping around, and bossing people. I found that works with plants
too. And of course with my gardener...
SIS: The way Prince Charles suggests talking to plants to encourage
them to grow?
Brig: Oh, that wimp! Personally I find that haranguing them in my
loudest parade-ground voice soon sorts out the slackers. Now I just need to do
something about the noise complaints from the neighbours across the valley...
SIS: Your garden does look rather like a parade-ground: Hard-baked red
earth, plants standing bolt upright in strict equidistant rows, like obedient troops... did that
one tremble just as we walked past?
Brig: I don't mean to cast nasturtiums (er, aspersions, ha ha)
on
other gardeners, but Africa is not for sissies, and the African garden is not a
place for weak plants! In my garden, it's "shape up or ship off"!
[Ed: We think he said "ship"]
We will bring you more of Brig. Killer's wisdom in future
editions. In the meanwhile, please
email us your gardening questions.

Restaurant Reviews by Judith Back to top
***** Kitchen Vibes, The Wedge, Morningside:
A new restaurant in the Wedge, serving food from all over Africa, that was well worth the visit. An Appletiser and Durbanville Sauvignon Blanc were chosen for drinks. We mulled over the menu and went for Spicy Roast Goat (low spice) and Brebo which was amazingly hot! Michael spent time explaining the menu to us, which helped!

*** Nala Bheema's Authentic Indian Restaurant,
Morningview Shopping Centre:
A new restaurant in this centre, it has a good menu. We drank Robertson Chardonnay and Mango Lassi. Then we ordered Dal Makhani and Prawn Masala. I'm still finishing the latter as I should have ordered mild not medium! Very friendly and attentive service.

Funny Language, English...
Why do call centres ask
me to "confirm" my ID number (etc.)? And then they are flummoxed when I
say, "OK, give it to me so that I can confirm it"? (sometimes they even do
give it to me) After all, "Confirm" means "establish the truth or correctness of
something"! Why can't they just say, "give me your ID number (so that I
can confirm it)"? That's what they want, after all!

Unruly university

Could This be Why Standard Bank ATMs are Being Removed?
It certainly looks like they don't work if you exactly follow the instructions...
