Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
With regard to the photo competition for the BRFC reunion in last week’s GulfWeekly, the picture is of me. I also appear in the bottom left photo.I do not wish to win the dinner-for-two, just to say ‘cool’.

It was interesting to read about Joseph Tito’s plans to produce a movie celebrating Arab women and helping to break stereotypes, on page one of last week’s newspaper. I think that women have always played a significant part in the Arab world despite the negative images portrayed in the Western press.
They are the traditional backbone of all strong families here and play a role children can only dream about in Europe nowadays.
I know of a mother in the UK who holds down three part-time jobs to help pay for a private education for her children and an annual holiday abroad although her husband earns a good wage.
I’m sure the children don’t know who their parents are. They were dreadfully behaved when they visited us here and I couldn’t help thinking that it would never happen in Bahrain.

Your Techtronic Specials page in last week’s GulfWeekly was superb. I love looking for electrical bargains and was on the lookout for a Samsung Galaxy Tab at a reasonable price. I went straight to Carrefour and bought the one on offer. Keep up the good work and can we have more gadgets on the page – there are new ones out all the time and we’d love to read about them!

Editor’s note: No sooner said than done. Charlie Holding’s gadgets of the week are on Page 7.
