Hi Bev, I've noticed in a few threads on here you have been trying to find out what number you were in 2nd ave. I took my parents out to dinner tonight , we spoke a lot about Oranjemund and I quizzed them on what number you might be. My Dad vaguely remembers you living next door to the Castles but couldn't remember a number. Sorry, but I did try for you!
Hi Teel, Great to hear from you, and thank you for trying for me......strange isnt it that ive lawys known the number till mike asked everyone if they wanted photos taking......i ended up with 2 pics of wrong houses...lol........Are you Mel n Richard going to be at the reunion in november ??
xx
Bev, I don't know if you know this... but it's the middle of the day.... ain't it your bedtime still....?
:emot19:
Hi Bev, no.... I would love to go but with a husband, 4 kids, a dog, 2 cats and 2 guinea pigs.... not sure how I would swing it? They'd all fall apart without me! It will be interesting to hear all the tales and see lots of photos though!
Shhhhhhhhhh Mike........i was at work and not supposed to be looking at the O/M site......... :emot112:
Where in the world r u Teel.......and the others.....
Mooloolaba, Qld, Australia and Melanie and Richard are in Brisbane, Qld, Australia
Hi Bev,
With regards to your old address - we were in 55/2nd ave and as far as I can work out we were across the road from you so that would make your address out to be either 54 or 56/2nd ave. We had Percy Barratt on one side and Denise/Verona on the other. Hope that this will help you to get a photo of your old abode.
regards Gus (Angus).
Hi Gus....thank you for that......i thought it was 52/54/56.....but still not sure...think 56 sounds right..........do you remeber the underground den in the barratts garden....wonder if its still there....Mike....could you please take me a photo of 54 and 56 please.........then i can decide which number i lived at .....nearly sure its 56 now.......
I do remember the den - Percy,Phillip ,Peter and myself were the "diggers" - the plan was to dig under the road to the Castle's house - the destination being a pondock that Mr Castle had in the back yard. Luckily - I think - we were caught out - Mr Castle noticed sand on the floor in the podock and found that the floorboards had been loosened and upon lifting them found the hole that we had started from their side. there was olso a den in the hedge that they had around their garden - on the corner of outr yard facing across to your yard. iI seem to recall - somewhere in my memory - us dragging Sandy into there and smearing him with mulberries - from top to bottom - great hiding for that.
keep well Gus.
YUP ! sibling rivalry ,,I resembeled a purple people eater .. small wonder we did not kill each other ... remember the one time you had really pissed me off big league .. so I bought boxes of plaster of paris on Moms account nogal ... I had this vision of setting you in the bath .. you not being able to move i could then really have my uninterupted way extracting revenge on helpless you stuck in the bath .. I waited till you were in the bath walked in and told you this was a new bath salt .. I started pouring in the boxes .. stirring it in hoping it would set quickly ,, and then Mom walked in .. all hell broke loose .. usual consequences .. strangely enough we could fight . but let anyone try to touch either of us .. we wuld jump in .. the time at hostel I whacked Micheal Brusso with one of those long taped together battery packs when he the big ugly bully prefect part of lampies mafia that he was was messing you around one day ??
You tried to set him in plaster :emot19:
The underground tunnel thing i remember .. and yes Rhona I treid to set my brother in plaster .. when two brothers fight it gets nasty .. like the one time we had a fight and Gus bit me on the bum .. it hurt !! damm and I was set on revenge .. he knew it and kept a wide berth .. i again set my mind on biting him even harder .. something he would never forget .. patience has its rewards . I let it simmer down . I think my wait was almost 2 months .. then one morning i happened to wake up early .. went to pee and there i saw Gus in his room the bedcovers half tossed off him and the prize waiting for me .. his backside sticking out of the covers he was sleeping nice and tight .. quietly walked in to the room ,, down on my knees and then .. well I recall that I salivated as I was about to sink my teeth .. I opened mouth wide to get as much flesh into bite .. and then clamped my mouth on the revenge prize .. he must ahve thought he was in hell cos i remember him howling in pain that was even more of an incentive to bite even harder .. all hell broke out in the house .. my parents rushing in to be confronted with this sight .. my brother thrashing around trying to get loose and me now like a bullterrier with lockjaw not letting go .. Mom had to give me such a klap to make me let go .. the hiding I got was worth seeing the huge bruise he sported for quite some time .. I recall we had spats well inot teenage years ,, then again we could try to murder each other that was fine and dandy but let no-one else try to hurt any of us cos then another type of hell broke loose ... blood isafter all thicker than water hey ??
Oh My God! NO WAY!!!! You are unbelievable - I'm laughing so hard at your story and I have to tell you that I love the way you tell a story........I can actually picture you kneeling down, mouth open - moving in for the arse in slow motion and then the howls like a banshee and the fright your mom must of got on hearing said banshee..... and you never said a truer word - revenge is sweet
:emot19:
Ahahahaha I have not stopped laughing in ages... That so reminds me of my own sibling rivalry....
Carl? Shall we tell them? hehehehe Lets me just say one word .... Miya the bee....
Tell us Dunja - you've started so you must finish, the majority have voted and we want a story....
Rhona, I really believe Carl can tell the story better than I can. When you see him next in here, I suggest you ask him to relay the story...
I am off to bed, nighty night everyone! e154
come on now .. my turn over .. up to you to give a laugh on sibling rivalry ...
Aint nobody can beat your stories Sandy - have you any more up your sleave pls
Hey talking of stories, did Mikey ever finish that loooooong drawn out haunted story he was telling us?
No he has not .. and yes I think i have many .. not necessarily of sibling rivalry .. in fact have some fun look up CDM furniture .. oh well i save you the bother I have copied and pasted below in blue .. maybe you read it before .. but one of my many misadventures .. I got more and a story with a mystery twist to it but we waiting for Mr bruce to finish his creative bit on it .. enjoy ... if you ahve not done it already ..
I remember the day my Mom nearly murdered me for really staining her brand new company issued lounge suite .. the skinny legged swedish style ... it had charcoal upholstery .. in the late afternoon I was sitting and eating some lemon creams .. some of the filling fell on the upholstery and by the time I noticed it had kind of melted in .. rubbing made it worse .. instead of taking some soapy water .. I proceeded to try rectify the damage by rubbing some ink into the light creamy stain .. Oops ! too dark .. Ok rectify by rubing with some talc .. Oops too light .. this light / dark correction saga carried on with increasing panic and the size of the now oddly coloured blotch growing .. unbeknown to me the folks had by now got home from work ... Mom saw what was happening and immediately knew it was another of those paint or ink or whatever sagas ... ( as a toddler I got into trouble for using our collie dogs tail to paint a neighbours dog with white paint " creative spirit ?? " ) too much had happened with paints , pellet guns with pomegranate pips as pellets etc etc etc .. this was the last straw I imagine .. well enraged mother pounced like a lioness on the hunt , had me pinned on the ground and utterances of "knocking ten colours of sh... out of me " would most probably have happened if it was not for my father tearing Mom off and telling her to " leave the boy and make him make it right " wise old man he was and always ready to help one correct mistakes .. I was then given the upholstery shampoo applicator brushes etc and made to not only clean the stain but the entire sofa.. lesson learnt ?? yes for a while ... we all know what kids are .. a mystery twist to it but we waiting for Mr bruce to finish his creative bit .. enjoy .. if you ahve not already ..
Brilliant - you tell the stories so good; I can actually see you sitting on the couch - legs swinging like kermit the frog on a wall; knobbly knees knocking munching your way through lemon creams.......and then AAAAGGGHHH!!! You look down and see the crumbs...............
