Riebeek Quantum Parallel Universe
It was a vicious attack, the first of its kind. A burly Gouda Book Club member was manhandled by three men outside a Kasteel bar in what can only be described as a heterophobic attack. He was beaten several times with a pink feather boa before being tickled. His girlfriend said after the attack,” He is just not the same man anymore….he keeps on looking over his shoulder, mostly into a mirror. The Old Spice that I gave him for Valentine ’s Day is not good enough anymore and he is a lot less demanding at night. He also complains bitterly that KaapAgri does not have a fabric section!” .
The members of the Gouda Book Club were all very concerned about this and have decided that they themselves will take strong action. It was decided that a delegation will travel hence to Malmesbury to confer with the decision makers of KaapAgri to persuade them to open a fabric section at their branch in Riebeek West.
The secretary of the book club had a vision after 3 bottles of Santa Cecilia Chenin Blanc 2009. After he passed out in his food at Bar Bar Black Sheep, he woke up in the Riebeek Quantum Parallel Universe. It was beautiful. Radio Hermon played sweet Andreas Vollenweider harpsichord tunes. You could smoke in every bar and restaurant, even Air Gouda had a smoking section for internal flights. The petrol attendants at Kasteel Motors were a bunch of Russian girls in hot pants on roller skates. Malmesbury ceased to exist, there were five bars between Kasteel and West and the service in both hotels were excellent. The metro police were helpful and the local police nowhere to be seen. The Friendly stocked cheese, CRISP was open all week and there was no gate between Bar Bar and Aunti Pasti.
Kasteel square was all dandy with a drinking fountain and some shade trees. Ladies, with low cut dresses, on picnic blankets were drinking cold Santa Cecilia Chenin Blanc 2009 and eating left over rabbit stew on the freshest baguettes, ever. The men were drinking 7-up Cola with brandy, whilst watching the young children play tennis. The show-offs were proudly parading in new clothes that they bought at the Hepworth’s branch in Hermon. Everything was in sepia.
The secretary is now thinking of going commercial with the concept of drinking to much wine to hallucinate and will obviously be sponsored by Santa Cecilia Chenin Blanc 2009 and Disprin.

Comments fron Hang Fire Book ” For The Discerning Reader”:
I used to love these books. There was another one called Grensvegter. His name was Rocco De Wet who was fighting a war against terrorists in Angola. The cover page read like this… ” Man is hy, vegter is hy, genadelose vergelder is hy. Hierdie boerseun wat man alleen die vyand van sy land uitsnuffel en verdelg”. I still remember it so well I used to say it over and over in my fantasy world because I was so in love with the character…..

Die Swart Luiperd is actually a very physical farmer, he is very athletic and extremely good in gymnastics, the character is very Tarzan like, only more civilized, wearing clothes and can speak all the native languages. He is also very good with all types of wild animals and can use the nature do survive and do all sorts of things to fight enemies and to navigate through jungles, when he is not riding his well self trained horse, he is swinging through trees on vines and jumping from tree to tree. His weapons of choice is a bow and arrow in which he is sufficiently good at and a knife and a whip. His real name is Leon Fouche and his wife Susan and his son Ben. He has blue eyes and black hair and is well build and tall, he always wears a black spandex suit which makes his muscular physique stand out and then the black leopard head mask which he wears as a disguise and also to make his native enemies fear him more. He has two leopards, Simson and Spikkels which he trained to react on his voice and commands and they are his loyal friends, also he has a black stallion called Donker, also trained by him to be as loyal as the two leopards. Other skills include him being able to go for days without any sleep and fearless and brave.
I never were fond of the gun slinger version of the story, but the original Swart Luiperd was created by Braam Le Roux.
These books where the best adventure stories you would ever find!!!
