Title: A minor prang!
Post by: Michael Alexander on July 22, 2008, 03:20:37 PM
Heard on the shopfloor this morning that there was a minor prang into the 5th ave circle during the wee hours of the morning when a certain medical person was rushing around, the car beneath is in a bad state, the good medical person is fine and the airbags never worked.....

It was very misty and wet....... Ahem!

Hope the tree returned the circle to it's original spot. Weird phenomenom the wandering trees in OMD.

Most of those tree's tend to wander about on Payday Friday.... and sometimes they take their buddies, the Lamposts with them!

Hah .. What  about the circle down the road from the town center leading to 5th ave .. a nice downhill  ..  and .. well  look ma  no  suspension .. I remeber the one night John Dalgarno took out his green Passat stationwagon after leaving sportsmans  on that little downhill stint ..

JUST IN passing, J&P (thats the group who do Parks & Gardens these days) , have seen fit to pull up all the grass on the circles and plant plants there instead...... I do not know why, but the gemsboks are treating it like a drive-Thru.....

Can't agree with you more Mike. Oranjemund was and is a very special town and judging by the response and chat on the site, anybody who was aquainted with or visited Oranjemund speaks very highly of it.
