 @ 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 ...... ...

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

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?

[Michael Alexander]

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_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"              


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
