Somebody mentioned the Morgue awhile back, the lights only on when there's a body in the place, so I went past and took a snap...Next to it is the incinerator for burning the hospital waste, about to months ago it burned itself... ;D and now it stands .....alone, burnt,,,,, rusting.....in the hot wet desert.... and I noticed that they ( Namdeb, Telkom, Mtc or Nbc) are building a tower next to all this...
Ok Mike, this is an old topic, but scouting around in old stuff helps find out things you never knew about the old places, and helps those who've left catch up, even if it may seem irrelevant to some of us...
New incinerator in place now... bigger and better (like the yanks...) and the tower next to it is Cell One (?) the new cellular provider.
Now Mike be a good laddie and get the folks an updated pic on all that (I nay have me a camera).
There is a lot of interesting stuff stuck away deep in this forum,so yes we must try and get it to the fore again. Come now Michael get your camera out and give us this update......or are you going to send Alfred.
Well I must say that I did not even know that O/Mund had something like that .... Guess when you are that young its the least of your worries....lol
I didn't know about it either ... don't even know where it was ...! But why do they need a bigger one now ... are there more deaths with the aging population in Oranjemund ...?
Was it not oposite the cricket fields,had a light at the door that was switched on whenever there was a body inside.
I recall whenever the light was on .. we used to go and peek in the keyhole .. one could see the marble slab on which the person would be laid out .. sometimes you would see the corpse covered witha sheet .. and then of course when my Dad passed away , we the brothers Buchanan went there to collect Dad in the coffin , and put it in the hearse .. ( unusual but thats the way we did it) ..Peter my eldest brother before we had to go there gave us each a stiff neat scotch .. it kind of helped .. but it was not nice when it was so close to one ...
Bobbysmith can tell you a very interesting story about the morgue...... He recounted it to me during one of my drunken stupors on the SKYPE..... ... Come On Bobby , spill the kidney beans.....
