There are now 2001 Global Learning Centre courses on offer. The latest addition is a short course entitled, "How not to drive into the back of your boyfriends motorcycle'. This will be the introduction course leading to a diploma in Gautengers Drive Safely Certificate and utimately a doctorate in, "If you don't like my driving, cousin, stay off the pavement'. These courses were introduced after an un-named staffer in the Back Office, Bryanston, accidentally wrecked her boyfiends bike. "Accidentally", you may ask? We say- wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more. Best this man get into willing submission, washing the dishes & massaging feet - before he loses his head, ................by mistake!

Food is, to most of us, one of the most important aspects of our existence and it takes a fool to underestimate the healing power of a good steak, a chocolate or an amazing curry. I urge all dieters and skinny stick insects/ anorectics to not read further than this, for I am now, today, introducing all of us to the most wonderful thing ever…. the healing winter elixir……Michelle Ramsoondar’s Sugar Bean Curry recipe. Print this out and go make it at home. Please be aware that this thing is hot ladies and gentleman, trust me, it’s really hot, so unless you want to store your toilet paper in the freezer for the next few days ease up on the curry powder.
