Mike, I know he left school and became a dentist, has he gone oversees
Scott Wallace is in England, He became a Doctor still here from Debbie who is in Scotland Barbara and John are in england aswell. They left Cape Town and went over to Paula in Canada.
Scott Wallace went to school with Alfie and myself, although he was a few years ahead of me. people from that era were Chris Jones and Colin Richards and Craig Thornton.....
John and Barbara were our neighbours in the 70's , party ppl!
;D
Barbara Wallace worked for Eskom for quite a few years and lived in Melkbos. I used to see her often. I had not seen her in ages and assumed that her and John had immigrated to Paula in Canada.
Barbara Eia...., correct me if I'm wrong, is'nt Paula also a doctor?
Where did Dina end up? See if you can get in contact with Debbie Wallace and get her to join the site.
Hi Debbie
Paula also became a Doctor and is now in the medical profession in Canada. John and Barbara are in Cumbria in UK. Dina lives in Milton Keynes in UK. Scott is a Doctor in Bath in UK. I am in touch with Debbie will phone her tonight to tell her about this fantastic sight. I have just had an e-mail from Julie Vice (Wilson) she is in England and will ring me tonight for a chat.
When i phone Debbie I will see if she can get hold of the rest of family and get them hooked.
Regards
Barbara Eia (Brownless)
Hi Guys,
Having been in Canada for almost 12 years, I'm not surprised that a large number of Doctors are MIA and in Canada . . . Our daughters and our doctors are both from SA and there is a third in their practice . . . they are VERY popular here!!
Good to see you on the site and enjoying it, Barbara . . .
Keith Margetts
Pleased to see you back Keith you've been very quiet or are we just addicted.
Hi Diana,
Just quiet, as my wife (Wendy - you met her at Richard's 40th . . . how long ago was that then. eh?) gives me the dirty look each time I get onto the site . . .
Good to see the chatter . . . I had an email from Barbara (Brownless) and am chatting to Verona and Denise Barratt . . . it was so nice to see photos of the folks, thanks to Richard and Sandy . . . I must get a scanner as I have a few old Oranjemund photos too!!
Hope you are well . . .
Lots of Love,
Keith.
Hi Keith
How you doing, I have the same problem with the family 'wish you would get off the computer everyone is saying'
Anyway, I dont have a scanner but what i did was take a photo of the photo with my digital camera and then download them onto the computer, it works give it a try.
Barbara
Well Keith and Barbara, same problem here. My daughter and I fight over the computer,as for Stephen thank goodness for all the cricket and rugby on the telly right now. Looks like we may end up having a forum of devorced ex-oranjemunders.Then dear Micheal can sit with us all seeing that he started it all. :-*
You know everyone is on about this "virtual" O'mund - I think that at the rate Mike is posting I'm soon going to have a "virtual" husband! At least we work together so except when he suffers from gout then we get to see a lot of each other at work!
As for the gout - Mike hasn't touched red wine in all the 13 years we've been together! I put it down to all the red meat/droewors/biltong, can't blame the beer as he didn't drink any this week-end!
Hmm - wonder if the lack of alcohol on Mike's part had anything to do with the Cheetah's losing to WP? No comments please Pete or Adriaan!
Probably right Michelle,RED wine,RED meat? Gout very eina :'( About the Cheetah's ;D PRO............VENCE!
The Cheetahs threw that game: for a number of reasons..
1) remove the pressure of being unbeaten in the Semi's
2) Allow WP a backdoor into the semi's, we'd rather play against Wp in the semi's as apposed to Bulls or Sharks or Lions..
3) Knew that Rassie and Brenden Venter are now coaching WP and know all the FS players better than anyone...
4) No relevance to us losing any position on the log...
5) Notice how helgard and Naka were as cool as cucumbers throughout the game? , these two guys are some of the most animated characters in SA rugby when their side is going down......
there is a method in the madness...and yes the Gout huts like hell, so I will be onlne in the wee hours tonight if I cant sleep....
:'(
letting the beer drinking team down mike,no beer at the weekend,stand in the corner that man,ps come back and put this pointy cap on ypure nut/heed
Thanks Barbara . . . I'll try the photo-of-a-photo stunt, so far I'll take your word for it . . . did you get my email reply?
Hey, Michael - sorry to see that my old team took advantage of the Cheetas throwing the game.
So, how are the Bokke doing . . . our team drew with Japan!!!!! Heh, heh, heh . . . don't laugh, Canada will play a series of games against South Africa - starting with Ice Hockey, Lacross, Football (that you throw like the yanks) and Baseball . . . heh, heh, heh.
Go the bokke . . . crap that they don't bother showing the world cup on TV here, eh!!
Now Mike,
I gotta say one thing to you about Rugby, cheetahs in particular. We moved here to The BIG Hole from CT, and WP is the team!!! Have you been to Bloem to check out the Cheetah fans. Mike, you dont fit the profile, s'true, what the hell happened??? Ok, as for the Griqua's, well that is a swear word for us WP supporters.
" ;)I'm not technical bout rugby, just love to watch a good game, Yvette"
Hey Yvette, I lived in Kimberley for a year...... Star of the West., the New Queens Hotel,.... Gee! I must have a drinking problem, I seem to know the name of a lot of bars! ;)
Ok Mike,
now I'm worried. You need to get yourself up here some time. Some really nice pubs. The Occidental is the place nowadays. Did you ever go to the Halfway house. This is the teen bar in town.
Note, not comment on you being a cheetah supporter. I cant remember Mike, but when I registered on the forum, Rian tells me that I had to swear allegiance to the cheetahs???? is he having me on???
Yvette
Hahahahaha...well Done to Riaan, I was wondering when somebody would notice that.....249 members later, it get's mentioned....I took the original "I agree" document and thought it was too long, so I modified it and put my own rubbish in there about diamonds and braai and off course that the CHeetahs are the best rugby team in the world....hahahaha... all for a joke.....
Halfway house, the only drive in pub in Africa..... Nice fireplace, two pool tables and 2 waiters for the cars outside..... halfway between town and Cassandra, where I stayed at the DeBeers Single Quarters... hehehehe!
You bugger, just wait till I get up there!!!!!
Yvette
All in good jest Dear Yvette, all in good jest! :D :D :D
Ok... My drugs are kicking in...and I must go doss, so gnite fellow Oranjemunders , wherever you are, enjoy your Friday, and welcome to Rhona, it's been a long time..... Chat later...
;D
Hi Keith,
Yvette here (baby Biccard). Since we are living in Kby now, was wondering whereabouts you guys lived when you were here. Or have I got it wrong?
Love to Wendy
Yvette
Hi to all looking for Scott he is an anaesthesiologist (hope that spelt right) in a London Hospital his partner expecting their first baby next week will tell him to get himself registered hi to all who know me
Debbie
Hey Yvette,
Yes, I remember you . . .
You're testing my memory, Honey . . . we lived in Cassandra - for the life of me, I cannot remember the street (MacHardy, I think?) . . . number 5 or 7, probably 7??? Geez, my memory IS going . . . oh crap!! :-\ I'll have to confirm with Wendy - she will probably remember. If the MacPhees (he was an engineer - a Scot) are still there, please give them my/our regards . . .
Anyway, our house was just across from the Mine Club . . . I used to walk over to play squash (for a season or two I played for Griquas, when they were short of players and scraped the bottom of the barrel . . . also had the pleasure to play against Barry Richards' wife in the games against Nicky Oppenheimer . . . I beat her, because she had bronchitis . . . heh, heh, heh!!) We had the Assistant GM on the one side of us . . . they were the last house in the road. It took about a year to get used to Kimberley, but then I really enjoyed it . . . just to be transfered to Lime Acres, when I pulled the very short straw to be Management Accountant there.
I remember the Star of the West as if it was yesterday . . .
Regards,
Keith.
