Welcome to Oranjemund Online - Connecting Oranjemunders Around the Globe!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN - HOW CAN YOU LOSE THE WORK'S VAN?............... IT'S WORSE THAN THAT WE'VE LOST GUNTHER'S BUS AS WELL - TOWN ELETRIC NO 1. WHO THE HELL IS......... WE ..............AND WHERE IS GUNTHER. I THINK I GOT HIM HOME - THE SHEEPISH ENGLISHMAN SAID. JOHN PICKED ME UP AND WE HUNTED THE TOWN FOR TWO TOWN ELECTRIC VANS. WE FOUND NOTHING AND I SAID TO JOHN.............. THINK BACK.......... RE-TRACE YOUR STEPS........... WHERE DID YOU START. HE REPLIED - WE STARTED AT THE MARQUE TENT AT THE GUN CLUB. WE WERE PUTTING UP LIGHTS AT THE BAR. THE GERMAN "OOM-PAH" BAND WERE IN TOWN. GUNTHER APPEARED AND WE SAMPLED THE NEWLY INSTALLED DRAUGHT LAGER. IT WAS VERY NICE SO WE HAD ANOTHER AND ANOTHER AND ANOTHER. WE FINALLY LEFT AFTER EIGHT WHEN PEOPLE WERE ARRIVING FOR THE DANCE. WE WENT TO CASEY'S BAR BUT EVERTHING WAS A BLANK AFTER THAT. THINK JOHN THINK THERE MUST BE SOMETHING YOU REMEMBER. WE SAT FOR WHAT SEEMED AN AGE AND THEN HE SHOUTED "GUNTHERS TIE SOMEONE PULLED GUNTHERS TIE". THE FIRST THING YOU LEARN AT TOWN ELECTRIC, ELECTRICIAN OR APPIE, NEVER TOUCH GUNTHERS MACHTS TIE. THAT FATEFUL NIGHT IN CASEYS SOME CONTRACTOR HAD PULLED IT FOR A LAUGH. GUNTHER DECKED HIM "ONE PUNCH". THE TOWN ELECTRIC FOREMAN AND THE TOWN STANDBY ELECTRICIAN WERE THEN EJECTED FROM CASEY'S BAR. RIGHT..........I SAID TO JOHN ..............THE ONLY TWO CLUBS LEFT TO TRY - ARE THE GOLF AND YACHT CLUB...........AND SURE ENOUGH GUESS WHAT WE FOUND LYING - ALL ALONE - AT THE YACHT CLUB - GUNTHER'S WHITE BUS - TOWN ELECTRIC NO 1 (KEYS STILL IN THE IGNITION). WE DROVE THE BUS TO GUNTHER'S HOUSE - MRS MACHTS WASN'T A VERY HAPPY WOMAN ..........AND I SEEMED TO BE GETTING THE SHARP END OF HER TONGUE. WE LEFT IN A HURRY. RIGHT - NOW TO FIND YOUR BAKKIE. COLIN (SHERLOCK HOLMES) BENTON THEN DECIDED - THE ONLY PLACE LEFT TO CHECK WAS THE MIGRANT HOSTEL. LO AND BEHOLD ........ THE VAN, TOWN ELECTRIC NO 5, WAS SITTING AT RECEPTION. IT SEEMED THAT JOHN HAD WENT TO THE HOSTEL FOR MORE DRINK AND THE TOWN ELECTRIC OWAMBO FOREMAN (SIMPSON SAM) SAW THE STATE OF HIM AND HAD DRIVEN HIM HOME. WE GOT THE KEYS FROM SIMPSON SAM AND DROVE BACK TO JOHN'S HOUSE AND PARKED THE BAKKIE. RIGHT ........ I SAID TO ATKINSON - I'VE HAD A HELL OF A MORNING ............ ARE YOU TAKING ME TO CASEY'S BAR FOR A DRINK!
