HI THERE ORANJEMUNDERS
AFTER READING SOME OF THE LATEST POSTS ALL I CAN SAY IS MOVE ON, GET A LIFE, STOP LIVING IN THE PAST.
CHEERS
KOOS
HI THERE KOOS,HOPE YOU HAD A LOVELY CHRISTMAS AND THAT 2008 BRINGS YOU HAPPINESS AND JOY.
WE'VE MOVED ON, LIVING IN CAPE TOWN NOW,AFTER MOVING ROUND THE COUNTRY A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY WE LIVE IN.
WOW WHAT A LIFE I HAVE, PLAY TENNIS MOST MORNINGS WHEN I'M NOT GOING ON A WINE ROUTE ALSO LOVE TO SHOP.
THE PAST; WELL AFTER A HECTIC DAY NICE TO LAY AT THE POOL WITH MY LAPTOP AND SOME 'CHAMPERS' CHATTING WITH OLD FRIENDS BRINGING BACK OLD MEMORIES.WHICH IS REALY SOMETHING SPECIAL,I HAVE REMAINED GOOD FRIENDS WITH MANY OF MY SCHOOL FRIENDS AND STILL VISIT AND PARTY TO-GETHER.
ANY WAY EACH TO THEIR OWN,
KIND REGARDS
@ Koos .. What is so wrong with the past ? it is after all where we come from and has helped shape us to what we are now , and equips us to face the future as well .. to have good recollections is healthy especially considering we had a priveleged life in OM ... It all depends how one sees it , You can be a whenwe longing for the "good old days " or a wiser soul who can and has moved on and can safely look back and honour his background , his hometown , his parents etc .. again I echo Diannas words each to his own ....
Ja, sometimes the past haunts you, then you also want others to get away from there.......
So, Koos, I think we will keep digging around there till we might find your skeletens - we are'nt afraid of them.
We don't live in the past, we remenice about it, joke about it, remember it, but like Diana said, boy HAVE we moved on. We have beautifull lives, good jobs, fantaboulous kidds: exacatatiously just the way we all never planned it should or would be, but
MOST OF ALL - WE ARE VERY HAPPY AND FULFILLED PEOPLE.
Koos unfortunately the truth of it all is .... there is NO guarantee of tomorrow so why not enjoy what you had and worry about tomorrow if and when it happens! e154
Hi Koo's....i think you posted that comment as a joke......however........when you reach 50.....you start to think about your life more...the people youve met , the places youve been, Oranjemund has always been what i call a special time of my life, The people i knew from there had been thought of often over the years........to cut it short...through this site and others weve now been able to stop wondering whatever happened to so and so....weve met new friends and old ones we never thought we would see again, were planning reuinion ect and everyone is very very happy about it all, so when your 50 you might get the urges to come back on here ......or maybe not........everyone im sure has wondeful lives....some of us maybe dont, but surely you cant say wanting to see old and new friends is sad........but you were joking i know your were so ......ha ha ...
Fine Joke for somebody that has just registered,and this being his very first post. I also see our Koos still lives in O'mund. PAULA here's another one for you to look up and..........
Hi Koos.
Why are... Oh! When are y... Sh*t! Who are you?
Koos lives in ZA, and we have to admire the effort he went to by registering on the forum, just to post that single post. We hope he can see past his short sightness and reply to our posts, but if he did that then he would surely be contributing to the forum....
I know of another lady in Oranjemund.....a really old timer, who also does not believe in reliving the past, fair enough, but the peuprose of the site was not just about living the past, but rather of sharing information about who's gone where, who's doing what and rekindling old friendships..... One cannot just obliterate your past, one can not be bitter about your past, unless you have something to hide.....
Hi folks,
Going on Koos's photograph, he seems quite young to be on the forum? Maybe small things amuse small minds?
All I can say is - Koos catch awake-up and get a life!!
Sorry for only contacting you so late on Christmas day Mike, time seemed to fly by, Eric and Liz were very happy to speak to your old man via Skype and it was good speaking to you again - even though so short.
Any way let me go back to watching "Cream Live Reunion" dvd and Koos have some happy weed :Weed_Spin_2: maybe you will see the happy side of life!
Go rockers!!
Richard and Debby
Here's something for Koos to practice for when he's "older" shave laughpoint
Hi Richard.... Hope you guys had a good Xmas and have an awesome 2008!!
I met Kathy recently and she is a gorgeous person.... I was really hoping to see Liz while she was here but I guess it just didnt work out this time.
Stay well and chat again soon.

:36_2_24: Koos you must of had a sh.....ty time in Oranjemund - hence the attitude. Oranjemund was what you made of it. For many of us it holds dear memories, bringing smiles to our family and friends when we share our PASTS.
It is sad that you cannot share this with all our old Oranjemunders.
Koos after many days of thinking and pondering all I have to say is well
you came and had a look
and read - and
you returned for your bitch slapping
so where does that leave you....
also I think you've got the message,
we are not living in the past simply revisiting it.
GET A GRIP MAN,
Happy new year
bravo
Hi Koos.......see how sad we all really are.....replying to you ha ha..........can i just say i feel sorry for you on reflection,.....i think you must not know what friends and happy memeories are..............otherwise you would understand and not make such a negative comment.
:emot19: BierSuip quickdop arrowh
Geez, Koos . . . ???
Okay, that's it . . . the "Canadian Poler Bear" will be making a concerted effort to be back for the 2008 Oranjemund reunion!! I will make a really big effort to start saving those muhla-sheckles to be able to afford a First Class flight . . . might even have to sacrifice my big-screen HDTV and cable connection to THE sports channel that will give me real sports like rugby and cricket. :pianto1:
To hell with it, Koos . . . I have thoroughly enjoyed making contact with my old friends and aquaintances from my teenage years that I had the privalege of spending in Oranjemund . . . and even making some new friends along the way!! I'm not living in the past, but just reminiscing about the great memories I have of my ten years in Oranjemeund in the 60's and 70's . . . they are happy memories, and they give me a lot of pleasure . . . :culo1:
And, yes, I am really looking forward to being able to attend the 2008 reunion folks . . . no guarantees, but I will certainly try!!
Best wishes for a great 2008 and have a Happy New year to you all.
To the guys . . . . :emot172:
To the gals . . . . e154

@KOOS - I think you have a serious ATTITUDE problem. yesno If you have lived in OMUND as long as I/we have you would have good and bad times. grab I think you should pop in to my office so that I can BITCH slap you good!!!!! madashell
Mmmm... I see Koos has ducked under the radar in case he is found .... and yes Bev it may seem sad that we actually responding to Koos's post but then it just shows that we all care about each other and are not indifferent .. I think we should now obliterate and bury koos and his posting , a sort of new year cleansing .a different kind of moving on ..
If we ex OMers are what we are because of where and how we grew up years ago in Oranjemund, then it stands to reason that Koos is reflecting his experience too. It was obviously not as great us ours. I sensed some envy in what Koos said. And not a lot of maturity. Shame.
But WTF folks, we have moved on and can celebrate our history however and in whichever manner we want to. We do not need anyone's consent on how we do it, nor permission to look back and smile at the good times. If I am an old fart who enjoys your company and can reminisce for hours at a time and you participate too, then great. Just kick me out when I get boring!
Best wishes to you all for 2008. And especially to you Koos.
PS: Mike, I still hate these blerrie smilies!
Younger fart arse to older fart arse . Keep the spirit growing.
Thanks to all Oranjemunders for the gift of keeping the communication so strong. Looking foward to continuing in 2008.
Folks .. its a new year .. and now definitely time to tuck Koos into bed and say a final goodnight .. in doing so we will definitely be moving on .. To all my O'mund cyberfamily .. may this year be one of joy and personal growth for us all ... better so read Dalenes last posting before she went on holiday ... brought a lump to my throat and yes , is inspiring me to take this new year by the horns ...
Sandy
JUst come back on line and saw KOOS's post, pity ke doesn't give his surname, afterall , we are aware of how many Kooses have lived in Oranjemund over the years.
quickdop
Must be something like Koos De Kat, for he assumes he has 9 lives : ------ we gonna kill him 100 times over (with old time memories and the power of friendship) even Keith the Polar Bear has started saving to join in.
Thank you, Koos, for that........
Hey.
I think Koos is going to something that brings us together. Thank you Koos!

Welcome Back Koos, thought the "ribbing" might have chased you away, good to see your return!
as I said I don't believe he ever went away, he's like big brother watching and waiting to pounce, personally I'm disappointed with his response.
arrowh
It seems Oranjemund has got its own Koos Van Der Merwe. Will the real Koos please stand up!!!!!
Kinda short response, giving all the input we have all made in response to his original posting!
bravo It is amazing how Oranjemunders can stand together to defend our treasured memories. Koos I truly hope you do not reveal the real u. U are going to be plucked like a chicken. Bravo to all O/munders. Keep the memories flowing.

As I said Michael: We're the actors and he's the audiance. Check the poll booth.
:Weed_Spin_2: Maybe he is smoking something. If this is how we all can amuse him, by all means let him have it. Poor Koos - you must be so bored with your life sobored. Hope we all are keeping you on your toes. Have fun buddy!! bling1
Hey! Maybe the responses from Koos are so few and far between cause he can't reach the pc and has to wait for some-one to lift him up on the chair.............need a hand Koos???
:36_2_35: laughpoint arse dawoman
big brother, or is it a big daddy in this case !
Maybe a little sister balancing him on her shoulders...........
This must be a complot. Have you seen the poll booth with the topic on Koos?
keep it in the family Rhona, that picture is probably a stolen graphic from internet, by our friend Koos.
Gee! This topic will just not go away!
I'd be quiet if I were you Michael,while we picking on Koos we leaving you alone.Just had a thought you could very well be Koos to get Paula and Co. off your back. Ne
Ooooh Kooooos ... you're really enjoying all the attention are'nt you...
Hang on Omnders I'm trying a bit of the old psychology on him.. :emot19:

Shame never mind we understand. When you're feeling :pianto1: we're here to cheerup and give you a bighug
We're all here for you, please don't do anything silly :buffo1:
Yes thats it Deb. Ag shame, Koos was deprived as a baby. That and I think he mustve missed out on the other most important stage of his life... he never crawled!
Hang in there boet (or boet ess?) you CAN do it too!
Life is very schweeeet.

The laughs will be on my side. Watch your step hey. madashell Making fun of a poor german boy. Sheesh! e180
Hi Guys, I have to agree and disagree with Koos.Yes O/mund was great and it did shape alot of us, we had some great parties and awesome times. Its fantastic to go online and see who is doing what and where.Even Oppie will agree, we had some laughs when we worked in the Recovery Plant with Charlie Ritter.
But that was 30 years ago, we have all changed, our friends have changed, our relationships have changed, our lifestyles have changed. I personally have no interest in O/Mund get togethers or trips to O/Mund etc.If I see anybody I know, Like when I bumped into Oppie and Debs at the rugby at UCT a few years ago, that was fantastic. Its lovely seeing people from the past, but to sit and chat about when we did this and when we did that and do you remember this and what happened to her and what happened to him and how old is she. Maybe thats just me and how I see things.
Regards
Mike
Well put Mike, it was for that exact reason I emphasized that Oranjemund is not Oranjemund anymore for any of those that want to come to Oranjemund for a reunion, I think it will a great bash,just like in any other place ,don't expect 1970 here anymore....
Well put points Mike H .. yes we have all grown and changed .. when I left O'mund I said my goodbyes .. kept a small core of close and trusted friends and thought that was that ... said I would never look back .. More change and Now I find myself looking back again but with a different viewpoint and my memories are a sharing thing ... anyhow its good to make contact again .. Most of us know that it cannot be the OM of the 60's or 70's again .. hell man I even reminisce over the difference in CT between the 80's and now ... how values have changed .. I battle to find quality in people out there now ... My intent is to go back for a "reunion " it will be good to walk past my first home , the second home , the duplex , the bedsitter , memories will flood back ... I will test my memory ... it will be good ... the town ,, yes I will see the change ,, some good some bad .. whatever it is I will have had an interesting drive up and interesting stay , some good partying .. .. then life goes on .. but yes we grew up in an interesting place and for that reason we should be keeping its memory alive ,, and each one of us has something to give....
Somehow I agree with you Michael.
On the other hand, OM stands not just for another time, it's somehow another world. A world I left as a child and I felt was unreachable forever.
I know so many people here, that were born where they live now. Or at least they live close enough to stay in contact. The erea is what they call home.
Seeing that I (and probably several other OMers to) have traveled a bit also as a child, OM is just part of my home in the same way I mentioned about the people in my surroundings nowadays.
As I said. Somehow I agree with you. There's no sence in greeving over the past and wishing things back Every time in life has it's own ways and possibilities you should cherish. I believe that most of the forum people will see this in a simular way.
Actualy this goes to Mr. Koos.......
And then...
Some of us are just enjoying the fun.....
yesno bling1

Yepp!
We're not trying to re-live our past, but simply remembering the good (and bad) times we experienced in O'mund. As for being dissappointed with what O'mund has become, sure things have changes, and so have we. I left O'mund in March '85 and returned in Nov '04. During those years, I travelled around the world and saw amazing places. Yet, that one day that I spent back in O'mund was amazing. So many memories came back to mind and I wish I could have stayed just another day. I was running around taking pictures of every street corner that reminded me of some eventful moment of my childhood. I don't see anything wrong with that and I have no regrets whatsoever for having gone back there after all those years. And my family, who have not been back, were overjoyed just looking at the photos. So for those who will be going to the Reunion, it's guaranteed to be a trip of a lifetime!
You're right Patricia. It's not just the good memories. A lot of the bad mem. come up read on the site. It helps understand and devour. So this sight is full of chances....
@ Patricia, yep only one day in Oranjemund, taking a photograph of "Me" swimming in the town pool.... and you did'nt ask for the guided tour...... damn! And I thought you were a fashion photographer for a sports magazine doing an article on the fatter....er bigger swimmers!
hehehehe!
Next time roll out the red carpet and limosine and then I'll even dive into the pool with you. Hey, that could be a great thing to do at the Reunion. Everyone jumping into the pool like we used to do at the end of St.5.
Yeah!
e154
That sounds plausible, as long as we don't spill our drinks!
thats the first thing i want to do.....a swim in that pool....is the diving board still there.....i know i keep asking this.....but no one ever answers.... thumper
IS THE DIVING BOARD STILL THERE ANYONE...... beautiful................
i was diving off that board before i could swim...........................hope my athritus doesnt set in before we get there....... :36_2_35:
hope our school uniforms still fit us. :sorriso2:
Hey Diana, speak for yourself we all have'nt spread out like you....Ahem!
The big boards gone... to dangerous they said...the small boards there though.....
I see the clouds coming....
Bring on those clouds, I had three beers and I feel brave! thumper
Here is the $64m question - should I come to the reunion?
To help me decide, I want to know:
1. Who can I write a message to on the sickbag on the plane to OM?
2. Who will pass it to the person I address it to?
3. Can Bev 'n me bomb you lot from the big diving board?
Robert - you may address that letter to me and hand it to me yourself when you get there - just as long as you are there. I don't care - you can even hand me two letters (ha ha), but be there.
Yes, you may bomb us, but from what I have read here, the big diving board is no longer there, so you can climb onto the roof of the keepers/watchers office and make your bombs from there!
So - what have you decided? Are you going to be there? Ok, just 1milj dollars will also help a little with all our expences for the weekend, so bring that with - the rest you will need for your recovery program after the weekend!
Hi All, Just reading this posting for the first time and all I can say is, Koos you obviously have never shared or experienced what the rest of us have and we're all the richer for it!!
Mmmmmmmmmm
idontknow
Robert, You really are going to town with those Smiley's that you're throwing around!
My final words on " moving on " and the proposed reunion in November ..
I have been giving this a lot of thought .. I in fact wanted to sneak into town ala Patricia Lotte style when I turned 50 .. do my little scout around and then quietly dissapear .. this was all changed for me in that suddenly a lot of O'mund came to me .. making contact after all these years .. I found that I was ready to meet again and share of my lifes journey and experiences .. so I abandoned that plan ..
Now I am looking forward at November .. what am I going to achieve ??
I got this in the quiet hours of the morning ... dreamstate
" You have travelled some distance on lifes journey , its time to take a step back and look at how you have done on this journey ... by going back to where you were born and raised and connecting with places , although maybe changed with time , you have that inner memory it will be enough . You will be able to ground yourself again and then move forward refreshed and with new energy "
I look forward to it...
Sandy, I'd love to have dinner with you, you sound like a deep thinker, who really enjoys life.

Sandy, I'd love to have dinner with you, you sound like a deep thinker, who really enjoys life.
Barbara, you really know the way to a man's heart. I have not heard this line since...well, errr I can't recall.
Having met Sandy when he was still in nappies and I was wearing my first pair of junior Y-fronts, I think Mr B has had cause to think deep during his short and exceptionallly eventful life.
I too want dinner with the dickhead to tell him something I thought of when he arrived home after his night on the tiles with a troupe of baboons and was carried from the ambulance into the B's home at 2nd Avenue........
laughpoint
So maybe we 3 plus more can do so at the reunion?
Robert, okay and everyone else is invited -I wasn't flirting with Sandy.
The only trouble is I probably won't make the reunion -
I had mentioned the baboon story to all the old friends who were invited to Sandy's while i was over in C/T last year.....everyone laughed and said it wasnt true....and that Sandy made the story up himself.....i disagreed and said i knew it was true as i rememebr my mum telling me all about it.........anyway ay Sandy's that night i was dyin to ask him about it....anyway to cut the story short (something am not very good at ) Sandy has still got the new's paper reporting his mishap with the baboons....with full story .....
.Sandy...take it the reunion with you............

Bev,
We lived diagonally across the road from the Buchanans so I was outside the house when Sandy was brought home.
And it is true.
Stories out .. yes but Mr Bruce must still do his creative writing thing on this . I will not say more on my night out on the tiles .. it was his story to write ..

I guess I must do it so that the ladies can swoon all over you!
No Robert ,,no swooning necessary .. maybe they will be swooning at your creative story writing style .. glad to see you joining in a bit again .. remember a bit of break from the grind is good for you ... helps unload the mind ease BP .. etc etc .. blah blah you have heard it all ........
Hi Rob......i lived across from Sandy...and i do remember him telling me who moved in when we moved out........maybe it was you....i dont remember the house :looser1: number since joining this site..................we were next door to the castles........ive asked mike twice for a pic of the house....but told him the wrong number twice.......he then got fed up of me.........and not seen anything since......maybe if its the same house....you can ask for you....and ill get to see it
pls
Rob I would love to join you in the bombing contest.....but must warn you i was never very good....i hate being splashed ha ha...........But i still havent had an answer to my question about the diving board........NO ONE WILL TELL ME>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Is the spring board still there....Dalene did mention (thank you Dalen) that the high board was no longer there....but still dont know about the spring board.......
3rd photo is of me and dyan young....and the bottom one is me qand nicolene barratt sharing abowl of popcorn.....
So yes rob you MUST go to the reunion.....
Diana.....us in school uniforms ....what r u trying to do to these men :emot19: allgood
Nice Pics Aunty Bev...... I posted a reply about the diving board already.... about 4 days back it was......
As for the house....... I clean forgot about it..... Sorry........
swim Sorry Mike.....the board is there....wow......it wont be the same one.....will it.....
The Big one has been removed for safety reasons.... the small one is still there, however some of the heavier than me , old aunties will not be able to use it, for fear of breaking it.....
The big one? Safety reasons?
I remember a boy jumping from the small one. I thgink he couldn't swim properly yet, so he jumped toward the side to be safe. Now he always pushed his tongue out. He jumped to far, hit his chin and almost bit his tongue off.
Bev,
We lived at 62-2nd ave. You lived on the same side as us but down the road. Weren't the Castles on the corner?
We left 2nd ave to move to 21-1st Ave sometime after Sandy's episode. Your photo at the pool was taken in 1966 so I might have been in Std 4 or was it 5? Presumably already booked into littlewood House at Wynberg Boys High!
MIKE......... :emot112: youll be eating your wooooords faceinfood.......but.....i used to have this re occuring dream...for years and years...i was on the spring board at the o/m pool....just as i was about to dive the board would snap.....or i would slip.....or the board would have no spring and i would dead leg myself.....i never got to dive into the pool...now fingers crossed it looks l;ike im going to get to actually stand on that board that has been part of my dreams for so long..........i dont have the drream any more....maybe your right mike....maybe i should forget the idea eh....... :emot19:
Rob...i really dont remember how far down the ave our house was...........Ive always remembered your name.....but cant remember anything else......up to now. but....i get the occasional flash back ha ha........i seem to think we lived at 52.....i just need to find out what number the castles were at.
