Hi Mike
Yes that was fun but a bit "dry" on my side here compaired to yours.......
I had told you of my friends in the early boy scouts group here in Germany.
We sang the old Sarie Marais readyin the fifties
I told you, that i will post it one day........
The buddies are now grandpas and grand grandpas and still meeting to sing songs
http://georgswa.ge.ohost.de/rover/sarie_marais.mp3
I dug through my tapes from Oranjemund
There are still some songs from the players ( Oh what a lovely war ) that i will post sometimes
Unfortunatly my Oklahoma Tape is bust, can anyone help ??????
The recordings were from Don Wilson
Georg, I took the song down, loved it, what year was it recorded and are there more? Where was das Sudwesterlied we listened to the other night?

Südwestlied was recorded here in Germany about 2 years ago and is linked on my Homepage
http://hometown.aol.com/_ht_a/etoshapfanne/swa/swa.mp3
That is a recording with my buddies in Germany, surprised ????? We sang that song already in the fities
http://georgswa.ge.ohost.de/rover/sarie_marais.mp3
In the near future i will post songs from the players 1978 Oh what a lovely war
ie. Nina Jones singing " Keep the Homefires burning " Very emotional in a church scene
Thanks Georg, just downloaded it....
thnx
I remember singing it and also I have a memory of a whole day ceremony of gymnastic displays, involving orange blue and white flags to celebrate
Republic day ?
Now to the count down
10.000 psts in sight
Barbara, On the rugby field? or Cricket field?
I remember A huge mass gymnastics display at the rugby field one evening, circa 1978
It must have been earlier than that, the one I remember as I was already in high school in 78
but yes the cricket field -
by the way I see I got the recognision for the word games - I must just say that Michelle and Nicky were at before I got here I just kept adapting
it and without Diane and boy georg and paula well it wouldn't be a game thnx
Still Barbara, on those quite nights when the forum stood still, you and Georg Jnr, kept the home fires burning!
THanks

Hey Barb - it's a pity Mike didn't have these smileys earlier we could've made good use of :Weed_Spin_2:

I remember your saplings catchball

:Weed_Spin_2: first time i ever saw what i knew to be a cannabis plant at the age of about 40....i recognised the plant as one had seen growing somewhere when i was young...did everyone grow n smoke this stuff there...would explain a lot ha ha
Yeah, sure Aunty Bev, at age 40, are we in denial here, heheheheh! :emot19: , just teasing, I'll buy you a dop when we meet one day....

The Blarney Stone....... I know... But where the hell did you hide the Blarney stone?
Ssshhh! Don't tell everyone where the crock of gold is - as for the Blarney stone; why that's a secret my good friend........
Oh! ... and now we are friends..... just because I want to restock the bar... that's why......
Just tell me where you put it......
pls
There's nothing in the world I'd like more than to tell you where the bar is......tell you what if you give me the beer, I'll stock it for you......
You have lost the plot... I'm looking for a remote corner of Cyberspace to go and sulk in......
Aaaawww don't sulk...I'm sorry........the bar is......Uhm! Diana took it, yeah! Diana has it
I knew it! A conspiracy.......
iknow
We knew you wouldn't suspect me Michael.
That fella is just way toooo easy to fool, Diana. Always blaming the irish - sure what would we want with a bar?
If we keep it going this way, we'll have our first month of more than 100 post per day.
Grand hey!
daman daman dawoman dawoman
:cibo4:
100 000 page views in a month is a target on my books.... and like you said at this rate we're gonna hit it....
We already have more than 68000 and we're only half way through the month.
In that case when I go on leave next week.... you guys better keep the fire burning.....
pls
You know we will.
I think I must've posted near 500 myself in the last weeks. Head'll burst soon.
Free reign of the site - free beer........whoo hoo life just keeps on getting better; Hey Diana - what you doing while Mike is on his holidays; I heard there's going to be the best party ever - right here.....tell all your friends but tell them quietly so Mike doesn't suspect....... a little bit of discodance and a little bit of feedme and a whole lot of BierSuip

Sorry! But I just love the stats...
Jnr..... I am a big Stat fan also..... thats one of the main reasons why I found an internet cafe in CPT to check the stats.... Man when you guys got the record...100 000 page views for the months.... I was there...not active.... but I was there and you guys did it..... someday...they will make a movie..... ..yes they will...they might even dub it into Irish for Rhona....... and perhaps Swahili for Koos.....
Maybe I could go to the movie with Koos and the two of us could read the english sub-titles at the end of the screen..............Hey Koos, you wanna come to the movies with me?
Michael I'm sorry to say, but there's one record we won't make this month. More than 100 posts a day. Maybe next month.

Hey Diana - I thought you were going to launch a rocket - backwards............
It did kinda backfire.
Have you noticed Mikey is live but hiding - wonder why he has gone all shy on us? Maybe he forgot our gifts in Capetown :emot78:
This has NOT gone unnoticed... madashell
Do we need to organise a mob? e180
Now just look at that sweet Irish lass. It was time Rhona to get rid of the mask...
e154 e154
Hey Jnr - I was helped out of the mask earlier........ not too scarey now, hey?

Hey Mike, you leave my irish Lass alone, got that !!!!! thumper
Thats not fair... I saw her first... way back in the 70's...... hahahaha!

Hija Mike.

:emot112_2:
As long as we keep the daily posts above 100 a day... come on people!...get with the program.... swink

We'll make it. To you all.

The drinks are on Jnr tonight........ cheers
Who added he zero to my 500 postings. hihihi
Looks like I was lucky not to have been around last night. bling1
No, only kidding. All of you are always welcome at my place. Cupboard is always full of selfmade schnaps and liqueur. Orange, Medizini (close to Jaegermeiser) ect.
quickdop
Past the "New topic" record. 179
Jnr, it seems this is gonna be a good month for records to fall....
Yes Mike. I love this stats thing. But somehow we'll have to find a way of keeping the quality up. We've been mixing topics a hell of a lot. Sometimes there are "new" topics that could be put together with others ect.
We should always keep in mind, an internet site is always out in public. I'm sure we're all intewrested in seeing people around, that are interested in what OM is or was.
You know I love the games and the chit chat, and yet I believe, we have to find a way of canalising things...
Good point, Jnr.... I often worry, that the actual Oranjemund Topics, become contaminated and when new Oranjemunders see them, get confused and get the wrong impression of the forum, thats why, I know I'm guilty, to try and stick to the topic, it's also important to go down to the basement and revive an old topic (Oranjemund related)..it keeps the purpose of the site.... image14
I spoke to my oldman on Saturday about the problem. You have the option of splitting the topics. So if a topic lands up going somewhere else, you could just split where it started the detour. Could help...
New Page Veiw record Mike!
The records are gonna tumble this month, big time... thanks all!
bravo about the splitting oh i get so confused these days...i can never find a reply to anything i ask cause i forget what topic it was in....and then theres so many new ones with soooo many postings i cant read it all.... cant answer to every one that i want to .....dont go to bed till 3am as it is................ not fair image24 oh ignore me im just having a moan cause i havent got time to read it all...
Hi Bev.
Check the option " Replies to your post" next to your Avatar on the top of this page.
Fantastic Records this month:
1.) Most page veiws:
2.) Most posts within one day:
3.) Most posts within month:
4.) Most new topics within month:
5.) More than 100 posts every day within one month.
6.) All top-posters (10) will be over 1000 posts each.
I'lll be posting the numbers tomorrow.
Hope I've got all Michael.
You got it Georg Jnr, You got it.... the big one for me was the "all posts over 100" for the entire month...... now we are just waiting for the next two big ones....
1) 500 members
2) One million page views.... (the big one)
Thanks all and don't be shy to post.....
3_8_14
Just waiting for my new 500Mb cap to kick in tomorrow!!!!! Only have 4Mb left for tonite!
:emot111:
@ Bertie
When i started internet , i also had limits.........frustrating !!!!!
With DSL and flat rate, i dont have to care no more......unlimited time and MBs
Whe i upload just one film thast 100 Mbs a time, watching is again a large factor in Mbs
SA is a ripp off for you !!!!!!
On my last trip to SA and Nam , i surfed in hotels or IT Caffee, paid the same for 1 hr as my monthly fee costs here with no limitations
@ Georg Snr - I'll have to stick to what I've got at the moment. There's a lot of possible changes in my life in the near future, and I might even be moving to the platteland not too far in the future. So I don't want to make too many changes now or take out any new contracts, I might just shoot myself in the foot. Yes, it is a rip-off here, and I hope there will be more options soon.
I just did all my banking stuff, and sent all claims for treatments of today through to medical aids via EDI, now I have 2MB left. So, I hope they don't count the words as well and cut me short!!!! image06
Nice evening to you!
Same to you
Save you MBs for important stuff
Talk to you again
how frustrating that must be bertie,times like these i bet you that you wished you had some long distance carrier pidgeons
Ok, I think I'm loaded again - lots to post with!!!! I can put the pigeons back in their cage.
To come back to the records - how far are we from 500 members?

A reason for another :auguri1:

I phoned my Ousus Francie this morning - it's her birthday today and asked her to register PLEEEEASE, because we want to break the 500 mark. Hope she does! She's got too much on her plate I think - doesn't get much time for internet surfing. Kom Sus, registreer nou! pls

Hi gusy! New record. Kinda strange one, okay. But it's for real.
July is the first month with only on day with...
less than one hundred postings!
[/color][/b]
Wow! a sensation???
I was in the "backroom" of this forum this morning, going through the imahes that have been posted onto the various board, and thought that some of you might find it interesting to know that in just over a year, a total of 9886 images have been uploaded, fair enough some of them are utter rubbish, but that is still almost 10 000 images....
just my 2 cents worth...
How about a poll Mike.
Shi*** image on the board... hahaha
bravo image11
