It wasnt all gemsbokke and sand dunes you know? Loads of Jilly Cooper stories! Omund was famous for them.
(suppose this topic is tabooo)
pls
You are so right, that is one topic no one wants to talk about but it did happen and is still happening today fireworks1
Working as a barman one had a fly on the wall perspective ... interesting goings on all the time ..
Is it tabu or not? i haven't a clue what this is about. Then I know, there are several stories people donÄ't realy want to talk about. Crime , suicide ect...
Adultry...... and perhaps a few pole dancing tales.....
Adultry in OM. Never!!!
Pole dancing ? now I know why keith doesn't appear anymore. He's not allowed...
Yup, the juice is still here, i hear about it every other Monday for the chick at my office.....
PLEASE STICK TO THE TOPIC, try you can do it!
Oh my goodness! My Mum and Dad have told me many of the juicy stories about the goings on that happened. It seems Oranjemund was quite the "den of iniquity". I am sure this sort of thing happens in many small towns where gossip runs rife. I remember being quite shocked at some of the tales and obviously tales like this can hurt so my lips are sealed!

I thought everybody was on the topic.
Excuse my ignorance, but who's Jilly Cooper then?
Jilly Cooper is a romance novel writer and her stories heavily feature adultery, (sexual) infidelity and general betrayal, melodramatic misunderstandings and emotions, money worries and domestic upheavals. (quote from Wikipedia)
This reminds me of a chap I knew back in the 80's, he was religious type, and was the only person who I could find that could offer me a lift in his Volkswagen Combi to Windhoek...In those days you had to drive the port Nolloth road around and back into South West to get to Windhoek, As we went passed Alexander Bay..... You could catch a view of both the towns, Oranjemund and Alexander Bay in the rear window..... this religious chap turned around and said to me..."Ja, there you can see the two towns, just like Sodom and Gomorrah......
I always remembered those words, and once every few years, it rings true , when a number of affairs would become public knowledge....
It made for some interesting gossip and proves that people are human the world over. I will always remember coming home late at night after parties and my Mom would be awake, waiting for me to tell her about the night's escapades. We would go on and on and my old man would eventually move into my bed to get some sleep.
I think the downside as to why nobody is to much of a rush to start the gossip going about Mr A and Mrs C, is that on the off chance, after we have discussed their affairs, they could just turn up on this forum one day, and things might become a bit akward....
On the other hand , in true human fashion, it's always been our thing to have a good gossip!
I knew that all along, just felt like rattling some bones. Amazing what's acceptable and what's not. Ok subject closed.
No, No Yvette, you misread me... I never said it was not acceptaBLE.... I was just commenting that most people would be afraid/hesitant to post the juicy stuff..... By all means if people wish to discuss or remember these things...go for it... this is afterall a discussin forum.... and most of these things happened decades ago... mind you , all of us here in Oranjemund are following a current type of episode with great interest.... and NO, i won't tell more about.... somebody else living here can if they want to....

Thats right Mike you chicken, pass the torch on to someone else.
Oh well here go's... I actually heard this about 3 weeks ago and like all rumors around town I don;t know how much truth this actually holds. But anyways it's doing its rounds.
So anyways Mrs A has been having a fling with Mr B for a few months. Mrs A is married and Mr B is in a seriousish relationship. Anyways Mrs A got herself a new toy boy and was at the beach when, apparently Mr B pitched up and whipped out a gun and was threating Mrs A and her toy boy. The story go's that Mrs A called a few of her buddies, we will call them Mr X and Mr Y. So they pitch up and Mr X drops Mr B like a ton of bricks and Mr B leaves the beach. Mr B then tries to lay charges against Mr X for assault. Although he was threatening people with a gun....
So thats what I heard a while ago, hopefully it holds some truth and I am not talking completely out my ass.....
Enjoy
P.S. The next one is gonna cost you :36_2_35:
....and those who feel threatened....TUFF meanpuff
@ David...heard the same story...and it is true!!!!
Know the sister of Mr B, but she doesn't know anything. Apparently she and Mr B's lovey don't see eye to eye...does'nt surprise me...
Now that's what happens if something bothers you....
Gee! I heard of that story... down at the beach, a gun was drawn, a fight ensued, a high speed car chae to the police station...... But that was not the story I was referring to... I'm on about the other one..... the one that's been going on for at least 2 years.....
I don't believe a word...
YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!!!!! yesno ALL ABOUT boobs AND quickdop
I can assure ... you ... it's all true....
Na, naah!
I know Mrs A. She was at my place that day. And let me tell you ....
Oh sorry! Promised not to talk.
You guys are getting things mixed up. :emot77: meanpuff
Just wait until they switch on the lights at midnite and see the people scurring around bravo
Better than Days of our Lives. Bring it on!
Mrs A was at my place at that time.
Oops! Was supposed to tell...

This thread goes all the way back to 2008 and has had more than 1300 hits which gives some indication of the draw-card effect of what was once referred as illicit sex. But all that's so yesterday now that sexual behavior is not only more open but also so commonplace and normal in terms of casual encounters that there is a danger of it becoming a bit ho hum. For example sex scenes in films and television soaps are almost par for the course and few eyebrows are raised when the characters get their gear off on the first date.
That was certainly not the case in Oranjemund's heyday when the lid was so tightly on the kettle that something had to give. It did, spectacularly in some cases, tragically in others. A married former chief of security's affair with a school teacher turned sour when she threatened to tell his wife, presumably in the hope she could snap him up after the divorce. He arranged for her to be fired. On the morning of her departure, just as the security car turned up to take her to x-ray, she doused herself with methylated spirits and set herself alight. She was flown to Cape Town for intensive care. He quickly resigned and left town with his family.
There was also the strange case of the truck driver who shot his lover's husband, was found guilty of accidental discharge of a firearm and set free, whereupon he promptly took off for Luderitz where he married the widow.
Peyton Place, a well-known film of those days based on the sexual exploits of a group of apparently respectable pillars of the community in a small town, brought hoots of laughter when it was shown in Oranjemund. The general consensus was they'd shot the film in the wrong town.
As a stringer for several newspapers I was privy to much of the gossip, most of it unprintable, underlining Pat Honeyborne's remark when the handed over the job to me on his retirement: "Bob, you'll find the best stories never get written."
One story I was naively hoping to break were the key parties that were only hinted at, always in reference to some unknown others. It turned out that most, if not all, were among the more cosmopolitan young marrieds of the middle management group. Participation was by invite only, and don't forget to bring your wife and your car. That last was the big limiter for most people as the town was closed off to outside vehicles and only those with company vehicles qualified. However, I did get to learn some of the rules.
First, personalise your car key with a special tag or something your wife could recognize. As all Landrover keys looked alike she wouldn't want to accidentally pick up her boring old husband's key by mistake. At the party, held at various houses m turn, there was first of all lots of liquoring up to loosen inhibitions, then keys were thrown on the carpet and the men retired to their cars to wait for the female who would join them with a key that fitted the ignition (no Freudian reference).
Then off to the female's house where she first went in to send the babysitter home if there was one. Once the coast was clear the chosen male entered and they had a fixed time, two hours I heard, to discuss world affairs and release tensions. Then back home for the male. If a car was still parked outside he would diplomatically wait until it left. One female told me she found the postmortems were big turn-ons and sometimes even more fun.
The caution given most married women as new arrivals in Oranjemund was to ensure they left with the husband they arrived with. Quite a few didn't.
Could go on but I think I've bored you long enough with all this ancient history.
So right Bob .. I have recollection of hearing my Mum chatting to friends on some of the sexploits in the town .. I was a good eavesdropper ... ha ha
Hey . . . Keith is back!!!!!!

Hehehehe! I assume you have had your pole repaired then Keith?

And there was a certain Plant Supt , who frequented Mooimeisiesfontein for a regular snog , using the company's Landrover ... apparantly to check the plant

No wonder Stella said that O Mund beats Payton place with a lady Chatterley and a lover around every corner
Another wine story. On a fishing trip to Meob Bay , the polished and overhauled DC 3 overheated - so we were offloaded at Luderitz airport . they flew back to Windhoek with the lighter DC3 , to fetch a replacement plane . So , Mr Kanniworrie Groenewald teamed up with Mr Pillay . " O .. You have the same name as my wine , namely Paarl Perle. . Here have a sip young man . Of course the wine was lukewarm by that time . Eventually the replacement plane arrived. We loaded the fishing rods , the beer etc - and also mr Pillay , because he was unable to get on the plane by himself . Mr Pillay did not catch one fish during the weekend - because .. the moment he awoke . Kannie offerded him some of Bom 's coffee. 50 / 50 brandy and strong coffee , to cure his babbalas . attaced photos. 1 Kannie in black on Luderitz airport with his Paarl Perle bottle
and 2 nd the plane that fetched us on Luderitz. Unfortunately I did not take a pic of the shiny silver + white DC 3
Meob Bay,..one can write a thrilling book about the fishing adventures we had to cross the Namib early on without gps and all that new technology.I can remember,on one such trip and a very rare one with my dad,we sort of a got a bit lost, he just climbed the highest dune he could find and voila,we were on our way.Another trip they flew in with a the dc 3 i think but upon the day they were due to take off the one prop did not want to start,needless to say these manne of Oranjemund angling club wound a rope around the prop and started it like a lawnmower ... took quite a few guys to do the pulling ,but they got it started and took off.In all those years from the early 70's up to now not one fatality were recorded, in those trips,very amazing indeed.....big thumbs up to the club with their tag and release effort,just a pity some fishing official from up north buggered it all up......
I was hoping that some one will be able to tell me why there are no markings on the plane - The DC3 that took us from Luderitz to Meob after the scheduled plane with all the necessary markings gave problems
uNDERCOVER fishing job.....?
