Well we covered this story about a month back, but tonight is the night the community of Oranjemund gets to hear it for themselves, a delegation of people have/are flying in today to give a presentation in the rec club hall at 18h00 tonight on the future plan of Diamond City...... I expect a big crowd there, No Arabs at this stage, just representatives from the two main shareholders in the consortium and an engineer from Dubai..... Will let you all know what is said later 2nite.....
Ooooh, I am eager to know more about the project :emot77: I expect the presentation will make it all sound amazing, but you'll need to see what repercussions it will have on you guys living in Oranjemund.
The way things are starting to turn here, the confidence for the future of Oranjemund amongst the Business community is low at the moment, so if all goes according to plan there should only be one direction... and that is up....>
All in all it sounds very far fetched.... but then 50 years ago, the re was no city like DUbai either.....
True ... it's amazing what you can do with money and cheap labour ...!
The writing is on the wall
Start learning arab
And start wearing either a blue or red checked dish cloth on your head ...

Best you order lot's of stock Michael.
Do you have to appear on a camel Michael?
Ok... went to the meeting, about 50 people there, and the investment group.... nice presentation... at this stage I am not at liberty to comment........ Man in Suits and Men in Black thingy......Sorry....
Will Smith?
Tommy lee jones
You should be called "Quicky-Micky"...
I have my moments..... iknow
I have a mental association with a Black Toyota Verso with the MIB in it ...
You not at liberty to say what went on at the meeting?????????????????? don't worry got another 49 dumbass's t that will have comments on it......
The secret society of O-Mund
You can talk about all things, as long as you shut your mouth iknow yesno
Ok I think I need to apologize about last night, I was way toasted when I wrote that... the spelling and grammar is awful. But excuse me this "not at liberty to say" thing is bullshit. As far as I can see from the rest of this forum, it was a open meeting and anyone could attend? So whats the big secret? Did they threaten you with death.... or something much worse?
Well David.
Is there more to come?
Ok so I hear via the grapevine, it was not an open meeting and the business community of O'mund was asked to attend. My bad. But as for everything regarding information in O' Town there are no secrets.... So I hear this morning that the dudes where there at the meeting with a little scale model and everything, just like in those dodgy action tv movies. So O'mund people hang on to your property could it could be worth LOTS in the future, we might not be paying tax and this thing is 90% in the pipe line.
Still hung over so if this don;t make too much sense, just think harder... :36_2_35:
I think that the attempted lobotomy on Mike hurt a lot more than your headache this morning ... I dont blame him for treading a bit wearily .. that is till the pain wears off and the black car and black suited men find some other trivial thing to keep them occupied ..
Save for the fact that the investors asked us who attended the meeting not to discuss the details of the project this outside of Oranjemund.....
Unlike the ship incident where there was no such request..... And Dave , I pardon you for your abuse :36_2_35: and the movie your were referring to was "Top Secret"..iron ain;t it...?
Um, I don't remember refering to any movies....

... and this whole thing went to pot! I heard that the investors did;nt want to waste time....The Namibian GOv did.... politicians got sticky about the whole thing...nobody had the balls to call it...... and Poof! there they went.... shame.....!
Huh ! ... who cuqui on somebodys parade . ?? anyhow at least you wont have Dubai on orange .. all this artificiality ... Uugh !
When all this talk was going on and I would go with SHadow to the beach...as I walked along the shore..I thought how all this would chance....MArine Drive..... Sayad Al Fayad Avenue..... Hilton Hotel on the Orange..... the world would be coming to Omund.,,,,, we would no longer be a special place..... just the same as the rest..... Now I am happy...we will always be a special place.....
:ciupa1:
Au Naturel as it was meant to be ..
That's awesome news ... so glad the Arabs won't be taking over Oranjemund ... Now I mught just consider buying a house there. Are they still selling?
Well...this project is back on the trail again, I have the inside scoop on this one..... there is a meeting next week in Keetmanshoop with certain Oranjemund Political figures, The president of Namibia, and the prime Minister, with a few other ministers.... Phone calls have been suddenly going backwards and forwards between stakeholders and arabs this week..... I have heard this...... I just wonder if it is all a bit too late , now with the world economical climate the way it is..............
I also hear that the president was'nt to chuffed to hear that this potential massive investment failed to gain any ovement from his ministers...... lets see what happens~!
