A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE. TOM MANDALL'S WEEKLY COLUMN FROM MARPLE BRIDGE - EVERY FRIDAY. Friday, 30 April 2010. I can’t say that I shared the outrage of our nation’s press when our Prime Minister referred to Mrs Gillian Duffy from Rochdale as “some sort of bigoted woman”. 8220;So, what am I missing here? 8221; interjects Mrs M. Don’t they flock from Eastern Europe? The more I think about it, the more I am astonished by the number of things I don’t know about being foreign in Britain. For instance...Would h...

A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE. TOM MANDALL'S WEEKLY COLUMN FROM MARPLE BRIDGE - EVERY FRIDAY. Friday, 29 January 2010. Cork and the Wider World. I knew a pair of Irish doctors, Fiona and Brian, who went off to work in either Peru or Zimbabwe. They were from Cork, where they corresponded with a journal called Cork and the Wider World. How marvellous to say your home town and the whole world in one breath. I gained a respect for Cork and for Ireland at that moment, and have never lost it. Jimiyke, EducAid and Sie...

A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE: There be Rhinos
http://tom-mandall.blogspot.com/2010/09/there-be-rhinos.html
A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE. TOM MANDALL'S WEEKLY COLUMN FROM MARPLE BRIDGE - EVERY FRIDAY. Friday, 3 September 2010. I was some way from Marple Bridge, when I received the call to Southern Sudan. The entire Mandall family was strolling to the jetty for a day-trip from Puerto Pollenca in Mallorca, when I had to deal with the embarrassment of having the phone in one hand and suntan lotion in the other. Ten days later I find myself en route to Juba. Juba, I learned from Mandallay’s daily, is to be Rhinos. Beyon...

A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE: September 2010
http://tom-mandall.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE. TOM MANDALL'S WEEKLY COLUMN FROM MARPLE BRIDGE - EVERY FRIDAY. Friday, 24 September 2010. On Monday. As you may imagine, I’m not quite sure how it happened. I think it might have been in the morning, in the gym, which is a lean-to beneath some mangoes, with a view of the Nile through the somewhat grubby plastic awning. I do recommend to you the Oxford series of Very Short Introductions. Mrs M barely blinked at my pretentious request for the Very Short Introductions. Has pictures&#...

A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE. TOM MANDALL'S WEEKLY COLUMN FROM MARPLE BRIDGE - EVERY FRIDAY. Friday, 29 October 2010. The authorities staged a little practice riot the other day. Afterwards the police sloped back to their barracks sweating beneath their riot helmets, and with cling-film dripping from their transparent riot shields. As Juba inches towards voter registration on 14. In case you are unfamiliar with the life of the freelance, the per diem. The sad fact is that my ignorance of life in South Sudan ha...

A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE. TOM MANDALL'S WEEKLY COLUMN FROM MARPLE BRIDGE - EVERY FRIDAY. Friday, 28 May 2010. Lumley Beach reaches Cape Sierra at Aberdeen. No sign of Mamood, so I jog off down the road to Aberdeen Circle, and onto Lumley Beach. It’s a good two miles from here along the gentle curve of the bay to the Atlantic Bar at Lumley. If the Atlantic's loudspeakers haven’t been fully wound up, you can relax in the big cushioned wicker chairs. 1-2 What’s that? I have never seen that thing," he marvels&...
