Billy the Bully

JohanB · August 16, 2007, 06:59:49 AM

Billy was in St 5 in '88, or there-abouts.

I've been looking for him for years. He was the biggest bully in my entire life, and the entire OPS, and I've got a score to settle with him ;)

I know he had an older sister. That's about it.

Anybody knows where Billy the Bully is nowadays, or what his surname is? I'll know it if I heard it.

Could be Lineker, he was in STD 5 with me in 85.... his sister, Susan, is also somewhere on the site...

I was St 5 in 87, and this particular Bille finished after me, so the '85 Billy is out. The Billy I'm looking for was either 88, or 89. He had spikey blond hair, and slightly crooked teeth. And he was never, ever alone. I do not remember seeing him alone even once.

Man, he used to beat the crap out of me! Us boertjie knew of all the soutie kids, but we never really mixed. Funny, that.

I remember alot of the people mentioned here, but I don't really KNOW any of them. Old Billy here must be one of the very few bad memories I have of Oranjemund. That, and my dad's best friend getting stabbed and killed by a teenage boy one school holiday, right in the middle of town, in his own house.

Who remembers that?

Yep, thats discussed in another forumn, one of the Els boys

Man I looked everywhere and I cannot find the thread on the Els brother issue. Where is it?

Paul Alexander · August 17, 2007, 06:46:30 AM

I think its under "Things I remember about Oranjemund" sub topic "The Green Spot" it discusses some other murder first then moves on..

I rememeber Billy and Steven, will never forget the time Steven and Billy lit a fire next to there house under the trees. Namdeb was always watering the trees. At this incident they pored something into the water and hay presto flames. Steven and Billy ran like hell and left me there. When they came back I was still trying to kill the fire.

Still looking for that Billy! Won't stop till I find him and settle the score!

I'm sure Billy's email is under the member section of the forum... otherwise Patricia or Susan help the chap out.....

Susan Kintscher (Lineker) · May 19, 2008, 10:08:22 AM

Is this the Billy????
Sometimes in life, we just need to move on......

Cherry (Alcock) · May 21, 2008, 07:33:00 PM

Agree with Susan - move on boy! Hey Susan & Pat - how are y'all? Cherry

georg ruf jr. · May 27, 2008, 08:16:35 AM

Yes. Should move on. You were only kids.
Just imagine everybody trying to settle things of their childhood that way. This world would be at war more than ever...

Susan Kintscher (Lineker) · May 27, 2008, 10:07:19 AM

I agree, maybe that is why the world is like it is???????
Cherry, doing well at the moment, just moved to Swakop and loving every minute of it...

JohanB · June 06, 2008, 03:58:05 AM

2 sides of a coin i guess: the world is the way it is because people don't move on, OR the world is the way it is because of people like this punk bully...

So which is it?

a couple of years ago I confronted a guy who bullied me at school, and the satisfaction of seeing him shrink in shame was enough for me to move on.

i only want to give old billy the bully the same opportunity. Is that so wrong?

georg ruf jr. · June 06, 2008, 05:31:21 AM

Give him an oppertunety to shrink?
I understand your feelings. I remember many bullies in my past too. I'm sure everybody has a story to tell.
I just believe, that you will "grow" up better by accepting your past as it is. There's no excuse for abuse, no doubt. But you're talking about your own feelings. You want to feel better. You'll learn to feel better if you learn to accept.
If you've reached that point, nobody will bullie you anymore.
I don't know how old you are. So maybe you're still very young and things are still to fresh...
