Jeez Mike; the roof sounds way more exciting..............but either way we'll settle that Billy broke a leg, poor guy! bet wearing plaster in the heat was no fun..........also you're older than me and I was always told to respect my elders!!!

Michael Alexander · January 29, 2008, 08:48:55 PM

Gee! The Cheek of it... I ain't that much older than you... you just lost an animal bar Kid!

Rhona · January 29, 2008, 08:55:43 PM

That Alan Delaney fella, who took a chunk from his garage roof..........was that when we were kids, cause I remember going to a braai at some house that had a huge great dane and the ''adults'' climbing up on the garage roof, then hearing a crack and then a huge splash as one of the fellas fell off the roof straight into a round pool. As for the animal bar................I'll stick one in the post for you old man

Thats the man, the late Alan Delaney, your folks will remember them, the sons were Neil, Chris, Scott, Craig......the house was down at the end of 7th in the desert almost, new section.......

Seeing that you're younger than me, should'nt you be in bed at this time already?

Don't forget you guys have two hours on me; so that means you're another two hours older than me......I remember the name Scott alright...........bloody hell are you sure it was at the end of 7th, in my mind it was miles away, I remember taking the bus there with Paul.............that dog used to scare the beejesus out of me

The saddest thing is - I cannot remember the name of the boy who I had a crush on - it was in my st. 4 year. But I remember the boy who first had a crush on me in my st. 2 year, just after we arrived in Oranjemund. His name was Adri - wrote me a letter to ask for the "kys". Many afternoons he would trap his bicycle from somewhere in 11th ave to 1st ave for a kuier. Shame, he stood no chance, for my brother Leon and his tjom Johan Steyn, would terrorise this poor guy. Made him drive over planks with nails in, had to climb over the wall etc. He was quite persistent, but eventually gave up the chase in fear that he might loose his "Family jewels" - the two maniacs actually told him they were going to do so!

Dalene. That just emphasises my opinion about the wild west. :36_2_35:

Georg jnr - That's your attempt at being honest ??- PITIFUL to say the least. :emot78:......come on Georg you can do better than that - share

And as for the rest of you rambling on - FOCUS

Patricia -

My turn - If the truth be told my secret, secret crush was Ivan Bester (Hi Ivan), but that doesn't count because every girl in Oranjemund had a crush on Ivan and besides we didn't stand a chance against Paula. So I must confess that Mel Ebstien was my secret crush.

Two names I remember:
Lynette Bezuidenhout and Ingrid Harris.
Lynette is on the board now and then, and we've had a short chat.
Whatever happened to Ingrid?
So Sandy. How about you. hihi

Sandy Wood · January 31, 2008, 03:50:56 PM

Georg. I remember the name Ingrid Harris. I think we went to the same high school.

How about me what?

georg ruf jr. · January 31, 2008, 03:54:13 PM

Hi Sandy.
I think I've asked you befor. Do we know each other?

Yes! How about you? Well then give it a go....

Sandy Wood · January 31, 2008, 04:10:27 PM

Hi Georg,

We should know each other being the same age, but I'm not sure. My sister is Heidi and my brother Shaun, ring a bell?

I gave it up Georg, named my secret crushes for all to see

georg ruf jr. · February 01, 2008, 04:45:41 AM

Don't remember your names. Saw you mailing with Niky on the board. I know Niky well. We were in one class till he repeated. Were you in his class then?
Got any pics from then and today? May help.

Sorry I asked you about your crushes again. Been topic-jumping to much again. Must have overseen yours......
