Having been here all these years, the name rings a bell - sadly I have to admit, I do not know any of the controversial threads, may well have read em but do not recall.
From what I have read in this thread, certainly an individual that I can relate to and would thoroughly enjoy getting to know.
Absolutely want a copy of that book.
To say welcome back is hardly correct, welcome home Chock !!
Thank you Ouboet for a very objective comment.. It is refreshingly lekker to come back to a Forum and NOT being attacked within minutes of arriving.. As I have only been involved with the internet for the last 4 years I could never really figure out why do I always get hammered by a certain "TYPE" off person.. Being a Oke that was never known as one who will stand back for any fight,, and having the gift of the Gap,, I have this perculiar gift to take said persons comment,, reshuffle it and through it right back at them.. The end result would usely be I made an utter Fool of said person,, Then the fire works would start,, The gang ups against me,, (Which was by far the minority of members) and it wont be long and I,m banned.. As a matter of fact,, I was banned here from this site at least 5 times.. What I,m telling you here is not to impress you with "I was right and they where wrong" NO,, What I want to emphasize is as follows,, I WILL NEVER start a argument or a fight,, but once started by whom ever,, I refuse to back down.. That is the long and short of it all.. Yes,, my book is doing exceptionally well,, keeping in mind that not a single publisher wanted to touch me with a pole but I was so convinced that I have a stori to tell that I paid for the print myself and litterly started selling my book door to door so to speak on Facebook,, Then the comments started coming in,, I was so convinced that these comments must be from a book with the same name as mine cause it was unbelievably good.. Then Simon Fourie from Bike SA thought it good to publish one of the humor stories in the Bike SA of May this year,, Since then my book has been feutured and discussed on a continious basis for the last 5 issues taking up more than 10 pages in the letter collums.. I got numerous absolutely fantastic comments from readers across the complete readers spectrum and here I talk off Writters,, many graduetes,,even a language proffesor,,Jan Alleman,,conservative Ladies over 60,, Bikers,, you name it,, its there,, and offcourse two absolute negative comments,, guess what these okes has in commen with the other two negative comments I have up to now received,, NOT ONE OF THEM,, BY THEIR OWN SUBMISSION,, HAS READ MY BOOK,, They base their comments mostly on hearsay and my laungage use,, but keep in mind,, I have been commpliment in numerous comments on the lack of hard core swear words,, .. Being a controversiol caracter all my life,, I did what I do good,, I took all the writting and established grammer rules,, threw it out the window and started writting a book straight from the heart..The book consists of 5 x humor (to the extreme) in the same category as Tolla Van Der Merwe and the main story,, Snoepi goete,, It is this story that plays of between a Hard core Biker and a sweet innocent Girl of 18,, this two has to hit the road within minutes after the Biker had a "Oepsie" with the cops and within minutes our Biker was the most wanted cremanel in the country(The Oepsie was off course the result of the Biker refusing to be intemadated and just stood his ground,, sounds familiar???) This is the story that the good poeple freaks out about,, You know Ouboet,, to be told by readers that this story must be read by the youth for what is to be learned from it,, That Ouboet,, goes down well.. Point off interest,, my book has been on E books for 4 days and I have onto a thousand hits already,, that one goes down very well indeed,, But the cherry on top of it all??? This week alone,, I was contacted by 2 big publishers,, the very same ones who would not touch me with a pole!!!!!!!Can we talk about publishing your book??? My answer would be forth coming sometime in the very distant future!!!!Lastly,, from all the comments I have received to date,, Above is about as close to the truth as one can get,, Ouboet I will be in contact with you via a PM,, But thanks again for being objective... (Please axcuse my spelling but english is not my first language and in afrikaans I just do not care a F!"£,,
