Hi everyone, I've just discovered this site! Awesome stuff!
Ek's 'n gebore Oranjemunder en was my hele laerskool loopbaan by OPS. Barnato natuurlik!! Ek het my geboortedorp in 1980 verlaat, maar dink nog met baie heimwee en nostalgie terug aan die plek...
Nou ja, dit was 'n kort "introduction", ek het baie leeswerk om in te haal!!
Cheers!
drinking-41 Baie welkom hier tussen ons klomp, Andrewette. Hoop jy geniet dit gate uit hier en praat saam dat die spoeg spat.
Hi Andrewette
Welcome to the site giverose
Hi Andrewette, welcome, enjoy and share your memories, never be shy about being BARNATO
Andrewette,
If you cannot speak Scottish then beware.........
Oh well, I suppose I must be nice and welcome you........
Wecome Andrewette.
Hey, thanx for the words of welcome! So Afrikaans is forbidden? Was wondering were all the Afrikaans speaking people are... sorriso2
Okay, I'll try, but Kenny, changes are that your afrikaans is better than my english!!
I've been busy today, digging up all those old "kiekies". Was quite an efford! Now I must just find the right place to post them (I'm new, remember). Try to find them if you can.. hiehie
Cheers

Praat Afrikaans...ons luister.
ek ook
ons kan maar die Taal lees. Van die skryf is ek nie so seker nie. drinking-41
Baie welkom Andrewette - met al die Iers, Skots en Duits wat heer gepraat word dink ek nie 'n bietjie Afrikaans 'n probleem sal wees nie! Ek is seker u gaan hope pret uit hierdie website kry, en sal sien u kan net nie wegbly nie!
sorriso2
En verskoon tog somige van die mense - hulle hak nou en dan uit, soos u seker al gesien het!

Ek se vir jou Michelle jy praat (skryf) sommer suiwer Afrikaans. drinking-41
Ag, vreeslik dankie! Op hierdie stadium praat ek meer Afrikaans gedurende die dag as wat ek Engels praat! Om te skryf is 'n ander storie so I'm going to switch back to English - it takes much less thought! I love the Afrikaans language and find their expressions often a lot more applicable than English ones, sometimes I really battle if I'm telling my mom a story to find a suitable English word!
allgood
Wow Michele! I'm impressed!! bravo
Gooi die taal!
Yep, this forum is kind of addictive, I must say! All the memories...
Addictive is the best description, you find you just have to log on to see what has been said and who is online. As I've said in previous posts our telephone account has doubled in the last year but at least it is a form of entertainment!
(Don't tell Mike but we've even got our own free bar online as well - check out the topic Bot Squad - it's where we hang out of an evening, and some even during the day!, and the bar just seems to magically restock itself night after night - there's even a pole for pole-small if you fancy a go!)

Yah!! I can understand again - Let me say a huge welcome to Andrewette...........stick with us and we'll show you around............ image11
Michele .. I agree .. afrikaans has expressions that make me split with laughter .. as a "new" generic language its grammar is easy and not as convoluted as the older languages which allows one free rein with expressing oneself ..
Andrewette .. Welkom by die forum .. maak nie saak of jy in engels of afrikaans pos .. die gees van die forum is om herinderings te deel en die tyd saam met ons te geniet ..
Gee, thanx you guys, I'll drink to that!! cheers

Andrewette,
Recognise the lady at the centre of this photo
or the young man on the other
Is that Aubrey smoking the pipe?
Mike, your right, did you ever see him without it.
HE once gave me some of his Tobbaco for my first pipe, made me violently sick & Bu....d my Christmas ( needless to say it stopped me smoking a pipe)
Recognise any one else ??
What year was the photo taken..... all the guys marked 1-4 look familiar, but I am toooo young to know.... in my mind I would have thought 1 looked like Norbett Gilbey, 2 looks like a young version of Jimmy Gerstner, 3 looks like a version of jack Laubscher.... and 4 just looks like somebody, but do not know who...as I said...before my time...but nice snaps...
The boy looks like one of Frank Quircks kids .. ??? steve ?/
Lady in the Picture is Tannie Joey Kruger
Sandys Dad with glasses
Sid Worth, I think is there so is Bill Mitchel and Arther Davis
Definitly not Jimmy
The photo would be of people working at the Old Central Fields Workshops
Sandy, definitly not one of the Quirk's.
Mom says thefamily were German (is it Dieter ?????)
Ok got it wrong .. just a similarity ...
By the way .. when we rolling your Mum up in the carpet and transporting her .. i go to thailand in Oct .. pauline coming down to house sit .. so we will have a get together at pete and sans .. ??? start practicing the technique .. " mom lie down on this luverly rug relax " and then make a swiss roll.. kidnapping done ...

@ Clive, thanx for the pics! :emot112_2: yes, that's my tannie joey. I don't recognise the young man on the other photo, these pics are so O-L-D !!! (maybe the 60's?!)
Andrewette,
The photos look old, because hey are ( BUT NOT THAT OLD) your making me feel ancient.
We will have to hope Jacob or Paulus can put a date to them.
Sandy,
The only way Im going to shift my Mom is on a Magic Carpet, anyone got one??
I like your thoughts ,
