THE BUZZ
JANUARY MEETING
At the meeting in Newton Mearns Parish
Church Hall on 21st January, Bridie
Stevenson’s opening remarks included a
reminder about the new Beginners’ Spanish
Group and a mention of the Film Appreciation
Group’s outing to the GFT to see Testament of
Youth.

aid of graphics on four panels in a mobile
exhibition. All the testimonies describe life
before and during the war, immigration,
settling-in, integration and reflections on life.
Some
members
appeared
to be
having
fun.
Guest speaker Stephen Anson gave a talk
on the Gathering the Voices Project
(http://www.gatheringthevoices.com/), which
gathers Holocaust testimonies.
Steven’s father came to the UK in 1939 as
one of around 10,000 youngsters saved by the
Kindertransport scheme. His mother, Beate
Einstein, travelled to Bradford and worked in
domestic service and was later interned in
Port Erin on the Isle of Man. Her father was
gassed in Auschwitz in 1943.
Steven showed pictures of Nazi ID cards in
which the middle-names Israel and Sarah
were inserted to flag-up the Jewish identity of
the bearers. The big red ‘J’ appeared later,
following a request from the Swiss, who were
apparently confused by the names.
The Gathering the Voices Display
The talk included a short film about Sel
Hubert, who’d experienced the horrors of the
notorious Kristalnacht on 9th November 1938,
before eventually reaching Britain on the
Kindertransport.

JAZZ AND BLUES APPRECIATION
CREATIVE WRITING
On the afternoon of Saturday 17th January
seven of our jazz appreciators turned up at
Trader Joe’s (opposite the Theatre Royal) to
eat, drink, listen, and do a bit of socialising.
Excellent entertainment was provided by
the June Love Trio, followed by the
seventeen-piece Trader’s Big Brass Band,
which produced some mellow sounds.
On 7th January six of our creatives relaxed for
an hour or three in Sloan’s pub in Argyle
Arcade. Lunch was had, some intoxicants
were taken, and matters of great moment
were discussed. Everyone enjoyed the
experience and left looking forward to the
next regular meeting at Newton Mearns
Library on Wednesday 4th February.
Sax Appeal.

Facilitator John Anderson has suggested
two forthcoming gigs as group events. King
King (winners of the Best Band and the Best
Album at the British Blues Awards in 2012)
will be playing at the O2 ABC on 21st March tickets about £16. The Chicago Blues Brothers
will be performing at the Theatre Royal on
10th July - tickets about £23-24. If you fancy
going along to either, contact John (#### ###

FILM APPRECIATION
MAH- JONG
At their monthly meeting on 9th January Film
Appreciation Group members enjoyed a very
lively discussion about the many films that
had been watched in the cinema and on TV
since the last meeting in November. As usual,
some films had been unanimously enjoyed,
while others engendered quite differing
opinions.
On 23rd January five members of the group
saw Testament of Youth at the GFT. Reactions
to the film will be fully discussed at the next
meeting on 13th February, but in a very brief
chat after the viewing, all agreed that it was
an excellent, very moving, film. If you fancy a
Elspeth Harrison’s Mah-jong group has had a
successful and entertaining year, playing the
game on the first and third Tuesday of every
month. They have all got to know each other
and enjoy chatting and relaxing with a cup of
tea or coffee in between games.
On a dreary November day they cheered
themselves up by going out for lunch at the
World Buffet restaurant on Nitshill Road.
Elspeth assures us that the food, offered on
range of menus, was very good.
Mah-jong is an easy game to learn, so
beginners are welcome. It is played using 144
tiles, each decorated with Chinese
3
characters and drawings. They are very
decorative and make the sound of twittering
sparrows (mah-jong) when mixed together on
the table.
SOAPBOX
At the Soapbox Group meeting on 26th
January there was a surprise in store for
facilitator Irene Conway. The group members
presented her with a gift voucher to mark her
eightieth birthday on the 28th.
Two games in progress
The Birthday Girl
Irene admitted to slight nervousness about
spending the big day with her daughter and
two sons – reunited for the first time in thirtyfive years.
STITCHES
The Stitches Group’s outing on 13th January
was inspiring. They saw the current quilt
exhibition many really interesting historic
exhibits at the fascinating family-owned
Dalgarven Mill. The tour did not of course
overlook the coffee room.
Some concentration is clearly required.
The group meets fortnightly on Tuesday
afternoons from 2pm to 4pm in the Salvation
Army premises at 210 Main Street in Barrhead
(next to Asda). The bright comfortable room
has tea and coffee making facilities, and there
is plenty parking at the back. If you are
interested please contact Elspeth Harrison at

THEATRE
February. The evening of classical music and
song will include excerpts from The Magic
Flute, The Marriage of Figaro, Cosi fan Tutte
and other popular Mozart pieces. It was much
enjoyed by all who saw it last year.
Also at Eastwood,
the Eros production
of Calamity Jane will
run from 21st to 25th
April. The Group
plans to book tickets
for this popular show
and facilitator Aileen
Davidson expects
many members may
want to sing along.
Events for March and May will be
considered at the next group meeting,
starting at 2pm on Monday 2nd February. For

Theatre Group members had their first
meeting of the year at their new venue on
Monday 5th January. Over coffee, they
planned their outings over the next few
months, beginning with a trip to Eastwood
Theatre at the end of January to see Haywire.
As Marbe McNeill revealed last month, this
Giffnock Theatre Players’ production is a farce
written by Eric Chappell, the BAFTA award
winning author of classic TV comedy Rising
Damp.
Coffee-Break
WALKING
Members expressed an interest in To Kill a
Mockingbird, which runs from 3rd to 7th
February at the Theatre Royal. Booking may
prove difficult, since there is a high demand
for tickets for a show based on such a well
known and popular novel and film.
At their latest outing on 22nd January our
walkers went from Central Station to
Rutherglen and back.
Walkers' chic on display in Richmond Park
As ever, the high-spot was lunch – this time at
the cafeteria in the Winter Gardens adjacent
to the People’s Palace in Glasgow Green.
The next outing, on 19th February, will be a
circular walk round Kittochside and
Carmunock. It will be mostly on tarmac,
although there will be a few farm tracks, and
should take around two hours. Walkers will
assemble at 10.00am at the National Museum
of Rural Life (G76 9HR). After the walk there
will be an opportunity to enjoy refreshments
at the museum cafeteria.

DID YOU KNOW …?
TAX TIP
Additionally, a joint-life or dependant’s
annuity will now be able to be paid to anyone
after you die. On their subsequent death any
value protection or remaining guarantee
period can transfer to anyone.
With the amount of savings income to
which the new 0% rate applies increasing to
£5,000, anyone with a total income of less
than £15,600 will not pay any tax on their
savings. More people will be able to complete
R85’s, the form allowing their savings
providers to pay interest gross (without
deduction of tax). Some people paying tax at
20% will need to claim back their
overpayment using form R40.
Direct Recovery of Debts (DRD) – As
announced at Budget 2014, the government
will be able to recover tax and tax credit debts
directly from the bank and building society
accounts (and ISAs) of debtors. Safeguards
which will apply to DRD now include:
 A guaranteed face-to-face visit from an
HMRC agent, to identify and offer
appropriate support to every vulnerable
debtor.
 Slower implementation in the first year
to allow HMRC to start the process on a
small, targeted basis, and gain
experience and feedback.
 Inclusion in the legislation of judicial
oversight of the process, allowing for
appeals to the County Court.
The deadline for ‘online’ Self-Assessment
filing is 31st January 2015. Go to HMRC.gov.uk
and follow the instructions to avoid penalties.
Tax Help for Older People offers free tax
advice to older people on incomes of less than
£20,000 per annum. Their helpline number is
0845 601 3321, or 01308 488066.
The latest tip from Tax Help for Older People
is about changes announced in the
Chancellor’s Autumn Statement and the last
Budget.
The Personal Allowance (PA) is being
increased to £10,600 in April 2015. Married
people or civil partners who don’t pay income
tax above the basic rate can also transfer up
to £1,060 (10%) of their PA to their spouses or
partners, if they also pay tax at the basic rate.
Partners can now effectively inherit their
deceased spouse’s ISAs For deaths on or
after 3rd December 2014, surviving spouses
will have an additional ISA allowance, equal to
the amount held in the deceased’s ISA, which
can be used from 6th April 2015. As part of
the estate, cash or investments are subject to
inheritance tax (although there is no IHT on
inter-spouse transfers). A one-off allowance
additional to the normal allowance (£15,240
in 2015/16) will be available for the surviving
spouse to use on or after 6 April 2015. Note
that the ISA wrapper and tax-efficient status
are still lost at the date of death, so income
and gains from date of death to distribution of
the estate are taxable. However, once
distributed to the surviving spouse, the value
at date of death can be sheltered into an ISA
after 5 April 2016.
In April 2015 the basic State Pension will
be increased by 2.5% (£2.85 per week for
recipients of the full basic state pension). The
same cash increase will apply to Pension
Credit.
Inherited pensions, currently subject to
income tax at their marginal rate, will be tax
free where the first payment of an annuity is
after 5 April 2015, and you die before age 75.

 Take care when browsing the internet.
Some sites are designed to browse you!
Again, you can check up first on Google’s
safe addresses lists.
 Learn to distrust incoming e-mails, even
from someone you know, if it looks
unusual. Your address could have been
harvested or bought by criminals. You
can always contact your friend first, if in
doubt. There is another check: hover the
cursor over who it’s from, (don’t click)
and a pop-up will tell the URL i.e. the real
address of the originator. Fakes are
usually similar to the real one, but with
extras. For instance, www.ebay.com is
the genuine address for ebay, but
www.secure.ebay.com is a fraudulent
company featured on BBC Rogue Traders.
 Beware of adware. Some of it carries
viruses and other malware. It’s best to
set blocks on it if at all possible. If not,
check it out before allowing it on. Run an
anti-spyware programme like Spybot.com
or Malwarebytes.com - free off the
Internet - alongside your anti-virus
programme.
regard the following as essential do’s and
don’ts.
DO: Make sure you have a good anti-virus
programme. Not all programmes are
effective, and price is no guide. There are
some excellent free ones, like Avast and
AVG, that can be simply and safely
downloaded from the internet. There’s
also lots of advice to be had.
 Make sure your built-in Windows
firewall is switched on and regularly updated. The firewall prevents snoopers
from accessing your computer to watch
you entering passwords and personal
information. Other, stronger, firewalls
are available.

Ensure your passwords are ‘strong’ and
change them regularly. Use
combinations of upper and lower case
letters, numbers and allowed symbols
(No pets names, dates of birth, ideally no
family names - in case you have revealed
them publicly elsewhere). It can be hard
to remember them, but you can use a
Password Manager, and PC Advisor
magazine gives advice on sourcing
reliable ones, or store on a protected
memory stick.
 Update the computer’s programmes
regularly. The manufacturers send these
out because they are aware that some
hacker has found a weak point and the
update plugs it. Update!
 Clean up your computer’s innards
regularly, not just the keys and screen.
Computers accumulate junk, so use the
de-frag and disc clean-up tools. Also
clear out your internet browsing history
data and cookies.
 Be sure you know who you are in
contact with when buying by debit or
credit card. If banking or buying, double
check the address bar at the top of the
page. There should be a padlock symbol,
signifying ‘secure’, and safe addresses
start with https rather http. It is better
for you to be the caller, especially if you
are giving the security number on the
back of the card. If in doubt, check up
safely on Google.
DO NOT: OPEN AN EMAIL THAT LOOKS
SUSPICIOUS. Dodgy emails almost always
ask you to click (open) an attached link –
usually a complex set of numbers and
letters. If you do, you have handed the
computer to a criminal, who will happily
strip out everything of value. Never do it.
Once you have, it’s too late.
 Respond to a “bank” requesting you
confirm your details. Banks will never ask
for secret details by email or phone.
Ignore/delete/report.
 Do not use the same password for
everything. If it is cracked, the hacker has
access to everything.
The above precautions apply also to smart
phones and tablets, especially when they are
synced to your computer. Contact Robert
Humphrey at ####################, or
##########, or members of the Computer
Group for advice.

FUNNY MONEY
transparent, although account-holders would
remain anonymous while controlling their
accounts cryptographically. There are now
over five million bitcoin accounts and
hundreds of cryptocurrencies using variations
on the bitcoin protocol.
Scandals, such as the theft by hackers of
bitcoins from an exchange called Mt. Gox, and
the shutting down of a bitcoin-based illegal
drugs emporium called Silk Road, have caused
fluctuations in value but haven’t impacted on
the trustworthiness of the blockchain ledger,
according to Vigna and Casey. They hope that
with the blockchain concept supporting
various transactions, including personal loans,
retail sales and contractual agreements,
cryptocurrency will make movement of
money more efficient and curb the power of
banks.
In a recent issue of New Scientist,
experimental philosopher and conceptual
artist Jonathan Keats reviews Cryptocurrency:
How bitcoin and digital money are challenging
the global economic order by Wall Street
Journal writers Paul Vigna and Michael J
Casey. They see cryptocurrency as ‘a force for
transparency and accountability ... that
promises to shift the control of money and
information away from the powerful elites ...’.
The plan to create an ‘electronic cash
system’, proposed six years ago by a person or
group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto,
involves transactions taking place with no
oversight from government or bank on a
decentralised computer network. An open
ledger called the blockchain would track all
credit and debt. All transactions would be

SENIOR MOMENTS EXPLAINED
Researchers say this slowing down process
is not the same as cognitive decline.
The human brain works slower in old age,
said Dr. Michael Ramscar, but only because
we have stored more information over time.
The brains of older people do not get weak.
On the contrary, they simply know more.
Also, older people often go to another
room to get something and when they
get there, they stand there wondering what
they came for. It is NOT a memory problem; it
is nature's way of making older people do
more exercise.’
Recipients are asked to forward this to
friends, if they can remember their names.
Bridie Stevenson has passed on this amusing
piece about the occasional absent-minded
episodes we all experience.
‘Brains of older people are slow because
they know so much.
People do not decline mentally with age, it
just takes them longer to recall facts because
they have more information in their brains,
scientists believe. Much [as] a computer
struggles as the hard drive gets full, so too do
humans take longer to access information
when their brains are full.
