Yet another longtime Oranjemunder is leaving us...... on of the last of an era and forum member here, Ivan Booker will be having a farewell in the Snooker and Darts club on Saturday afternoon from 12hoo onwards, the test match will be on and food will be ready ar 17h00.

The food is Lamb Shank Potjie and a Chicken Potjie, Non Members welcome at N$30 a head.... if you plan to eat here, make sure you place your name on the list at the Snooker and Darts before 10hoo..

@Delia, Colin or anyone that remembers Ivan and has a good tale to tell about him, post it, as The speechmaker needs some material form 2morrow....

Alas, I fear Ivan would never speak to me again if i had to reveal all........

but, on the softer stories - you can remind him from me - when next he decides to down flaming sambuccas to either get rid of his beard/moustache or learn the art's finer details before attempting it!!!  It's not part of the procedure to set your beard alight Ivy!! If he looks at your blankly - mentioning "one night at an after party at Cherry & Roger Burchell's house" might jog the brain cells.  Oh man, we were in hysterics that night, we were rolling on the floor in laughter.......everything's always 10 times funnier when you're pissed, even your buddy on fire!


Another one for all those who knew Booker in his party days - remind them how he used to give the best rendition of Blueberry Hill when he had enough rums under his belt.  I always knew when he was in party mode when he switched from beer to rum - Blueberry Hill wasn't far off...........demand that he gives O'mund a final rendition.............it would be a fitting parting memory.


Ivy - see you in die Kaap to compare more gray hairs and wrinkles.
