In 1hr 20 minutes, I can start round 2 of the drinking session for the weekend.... Games start at 17hoo and 19hoo and we Have the neighbours fondue at 19h00... so I'll take my TV with so I can watch my beloved Cheetah's snotklap the Lions...

Ellen says the manager of beauvallon farm was Pollak? and one of his son's was Koos? Not sure about the facts here but she says they were a lot of kids and not too well off, so its possible he wasn't a happy chappy. They had to travel from Beauvallon farm daily to come to school, and probably didn't feel like part of the crowd. Ellen says, if she remembers correctly, the father was asked by someone to drop off a car engine at the garages by the bridge , and this engine was later found to have diamonds hidden in it. It seems the farm guy was innocent but according to CDM policy, still had to leave immediately. I can imagine that this would make anyone bitter about Oranjemund. Koos, are we close?

Florrie, I personally think KOOSIE is just giving us a good "gat krap". I still think it is some one in Town playing the fool.

Michael Alexander · February 18, 2008, 02:07:26 PM

I should build a database of oranjemunders, you just type in the name and up comes a picture and reference of the person...... nice idea, but sounds like way tooooooo much graft!!

Florrie van Zyl (Muir) · February 19, 2008, 11:58:50 AM

Yes way tooooo much graft, but would be very useful, with a then and now picture too. Think you are right Mike, Pollard sounds correct. Did he have a son called Koos?

Michael Alexander · February 19, 2008, 12:01:03 PM

mmmh! let me check the database..... AAGGGGH! damn, I never built one........ now we'll never know....

I rent server space on a server based in TEXAS, through a south african company... costs about R169.00 per month... they also allow me to use 2 databases, one which is used to drive this forum and a spare one which I have not decided to put to good use yet........
