WED: Last night Dino's father died in Ampenan, Lombok.
Dino’s father was in his mid 70’s. He had suffered
a stroke a couple of years ago but was in good health until
this week. This is the third death in Dino's family this
year. First his mother in February, then his eldest sister last month.
He was buried on Sunday. We offer our deepest sympathy to Dino and
his family. |

CONCORDE CRASH
| According
to Flight magazine, the Concorde crash in France was caused by the disintegration
of the Water Deflector or “Cow Catcher” installed just ahead of each leading
undercarriage wheel.
Due
to previous incidents with the "Cow Catcher" BA had modified their fleet.
Air France had not. Also pieces of metal and a 4" rod were found on the
runway, these were not from Concorde. The investigation continues. |

CONCORDE JOKES
from BEAR
The European Commission have
met and declared that Concorde's impeccable safety record will stand.....
The hotel was in the wrong. ... So many German tourists. So few Concordes........
Air France have just introduced a new express service for their premium
travellers which guarantees you can be off your plane and in your hotel
in all of two minutes..... Did you hear that one of the Concorde |
pilots asked the other if
he was going home after his shift. He said no, he was just going to crash
at the hotel... Affluent German tourists choose to fly Concorde. They'd
not be seen dead on anything else... The French Killed more Germans on
Tuesday than in 2 world wars..... Overheard at the Hotelissimo, Gronesse:
"Waiter! There's a Concorde in my soup.".... Why is Concorde such good
value for money? You get the hotel thrown in. |

TANPA NAMA "NO NAME"
CAFÉ’ and BAR.
The restaurant has only been
operating for 3 months and is run by Peter from Australia and his friendly
Indonesian Chinese wife “Liani” Peter and Liani both have a hospitality
industry background. The restaurant is well patronized by Expats,
locals and the occasional tourist. The décor is kitsch with a nice
bar and an interesting collection of international car number plates. The
tables are reproduction timber and marble and available for purchase.
Peter is fastidious about cleanliness and always assures the customers
that only bottled aqua is used in the kitchen. Our inspection revealed
an clean kitchen and toilets. The menu is simple and definitely a “cheap
eat.” The food is primarily Chinese however there is a Western menu
with some interesting dishes. Baked Beans and Bacon on “Yummy” toast, with
imported Meadow Lea. Bacon and Eggs any style, plate of imported
American Peas, Chips and Mashed Potato. For desert home made Apple Pie
with ice cream. The Chinese menu features Chicken, Calamari, Prawns noodles
and rice, all with various sauces. The crab and asparagus soup is
to die for, the bowl is enough for 2 or 3 to share. They even have
fried rice Hong Kong style a nice change from Nasi Goreng. Sunday lunch
is a not miss event with Roast Lamb, mint sauce, baked vegetables
and peas. The food is delicious and you would pay many times more in a
tourist restaurant. Other services available, Internet, Fax, Pay phone
and satellite Tv. Daily and weekly English papers available. Main course
prices start at Rp7,500, large chilled beer also Rp7,500. An average meal
for 2 including a large beer will cost around $50,000. The food is good
and cheap. The atmosphere is always interesting, seems a few of Dorothy’s
poorer friends have discovered the establishment. “No Name” Cafe
and Bar is at Jalan Raya Kerobokan No 6 Kuta Bali. Look for the flashing
bud lights on the right just after Petitenget. KHO rating ****

DENNY... I watched 'Sunday'

'Sunday' on Channel 9 this morning. Their main story was about those two
guys in the UK that brought those twins from the USA. They actually met
a service station when the one asked the other for directions They came
from working class backgrounds and have been successful businessmen. The
entire families of both guys still live in council estates and they are
all just so supportive. It was such a lovely story and I just wish John
Howard would watch it. TRENTON.... I have bought a new car the old one
blew up again going down the free way so it was off to the tip. I now have
a you bruit yout with a canopy on the back I thought f... it I best
buy a good car for a change it cost 6.000 and its on gas. DENNY...."What
did the fish say when it hit it's head against the wall?" Dam!
Got my car back and it is like new inside. BRADLEY IN JAKARTA....We had
a house- keeper for four days until we discovered she was pilfering fabric
softener, and sambal and substituting the furniture polish for tea. She
was absolutely diabolical. She took light globes from their sockets would
you believe. We suspect also that she was washing my business shirts without
laundry powder and pilfering it as well. GEOFF WHITE....I DO like the HTML
newsletter, It is so much more readable than the old way. Thankyou
for my quote, I was feeling neglected without a mention in the KHO News.
The Queen Mum must have been envious of Nance with the freedom to travel
in places such as Lombok and Ampenan and Bali and Kuta and suchlike!
GEORGE IN MELB....Its also great to know that you are living the way that
all retired superstars should getting drunk regularly and lapping up the
sunshine surrounded by beautiful boys and girls. SEI IN OSAKA....hi darrring.
how have you been doing? here is too hot for me. l dont like it,
anyway, now l am trying to find a job after graduating my university. however,
l am not such a serious boy, as you know, that l am not engaging my energy
into it. hmmmm,if l could not find a job, can you hire me as your maid??
haahah. l can make some japanese dishes, I might kill you if you eat it.
hahah

Sunday Nance telephoned as usual
to complain about the content of the KHO News. Monday we went to a party
at David Allen’s Villa Asoka, his brother and family had just arrived from
Australia. The authentic Indonesia food cooked by Ibu Made was excellent.
David treated us all with some beautiful Australian Hermitage. Wednesday
the Party Night gig again, good crowd. Had some fun with a Japanese honey
moon couple. They didn’t understand a word but laughed so much. Maybe Jamal
and I should take the show to Osaka. Best start in a smaller city.
Friday took an English Indian honey moon couple who are staying at Bali
Intan Village to “No Name” restaurant. They loved it could not believe
the quality for the low price. |
