Thread: Billy the Bounder By Dave D ,

Billy the Bounder

At last, I am finally up and running.

Hours – days – even weeks of blindly pressing buttons and keys on my laptop, have finally paid off.

No they haven’t, I am lying.

My progress was snail like until I finally cracked – swallowed my pride, and took the long and painful walk to see David of Pattaya 1. Like magic, the whole process finally began to make sense.

Rejoice – I can now do this facebook thingy without deleting every piece of work that I have ever written.

As this is technically my opening piece following my enlightenment, perhaps a brief word or two about my favourite subject (me) is in order.

Born a very long time ago in a stable in Farnworth, Lancashire, my inherent genius propelled me to Leigh Grammar School followed by Manchester University.

Academia was not my fortei, most of the lectures being blanked by day dreaming thoughts of fishing, and more fishing. The sport was like a drug to me, and no amount of rehab could ever have broken the addiction.

Not only was it an obsession, but I discovered that I was rather good at it, and bit by bit, I turned the sport into an enjoyable way of making a living; it became my profession.

After a brief spell in the army, I began to concentrate more and more on not only the fishing side of the sport, but the various ways that I could make money from the game.

After a few years of competing at the highest level, I had acquired various titles in match fishing circles, and was beginning to make a bit of a name for myself, when out of the blue, I was asked to do a TV commercial for a fishing magazine, followed by a series of Pro-celebrity programs.

This stuff is all covered in my book Fishing and Testicles, so I will leave it at that.

My next move was to manufacture fishing floats, using my name to promote them, followed by the building of my commercial fishery, a complex of 18 lakes, that I believe is still the biggest of its type in Europe.

Again, out of the blue, I received a phone call from British Waterways who wanted to buy me out. I played it cool, not wishing to give my hand away. They fell for it, and a few days later, I was on my way to early retirement and a life of bone idle leisure in Tenerife.

That was 16 years ago, and for the last 5 years, I have found myself trapped in the hedonistic fantasy island that is Pattaya.

Is there any way out of here? Would I ever consider leaving?

During my last few years in England, I was writing for several magazines. Not great payers, but still money for old rope, especially when you consider that each article took no more than 15 minutes to write, and was usually done in an alcoholic haze on returning from my local pub.

For some strange reason, one day as I sat outside my rented villa here in Pattaya, I decided to write a novel, based on a dream that I had the previous night.

JIHADA 1 – The Lost Scriptures was born.

I had once again got the writing bug, and O’Malley – The Wrong Package quickly followed.

As I have serious reservations about the ideology known as Islam, Jihada 2 and Jihada 3 followed in quick succession.

My final book at this point in time is Fishing and Testicles. There isn’t too much about fishing in the book, but the title and the front cover should give you an idea of where the book is going.

I currently have two unfinished novels on the go, and jump from one to the other whenever writers block kicks in.

My next piece on this blog will concentrate on O’Malley – The Wrong Package novel.

Indeed.


Odd that the author's name is shopped out on the book cover. Strange for a book that is supposedly supposed to be sold to as many people as possible.

There's a surprise.

Where the fuck do you find this drivel, Snakeyes? Are you a member of some mailing-list for collectors of literary turds?

What's coming next

Charles Baht Esquire's biography?

From billys (full name, billy makin) page on amazon where he sells his work / peddles his crap.

Hi, I,m Billy, although I prefer to be called Bill.
I currently run a girlie type bar in Thailand, so enough said on this page.

You will find quite a few stories relating to both my bar and my life in Thailand in "Fishing and Testicles", and whilst neither dirty nor sordid, the stories are aimed more at men than at poor, sensitive, easily shocked, left wing, masculine, politically correct, lesbian women.

Perhaps my writings on Islam may prove to be controversial, however I do feel very strongly about this issue, and consider major civil unrest throughout Europe is inevitable unless properly addressed.

The Jihada trilogy is built around terrorism in its various forms, and the final consequences in all three novels are quite dramatic AND final.
The third novel in the trilogy "In the name of the Prophet", should be available through Amazon late March.

Running the bar, I find, almost on a daily basis, strong anti immigration sentiment from customers that live throughout Europe, Scandinavia, Australia and America. I also find interesting comments about the 20 girls that I employ.

I welcome constructive comments.

Bill

I also find interesting comments about the 20 girls that I employ.

'Interesting' as in derogatory. Probebly employs 17 Isaan pigs and 3 ageing mamsans

If they were mildly good looking they'd be described as stunners.

JUs' sayin' like...

Odd how it all kinda' full-circle links back to the orphans....

Pattaya Mail’s Cartoonist Mike (the Cartoonman) Baird recently handed over another 50,000 baht to Toy at the Pattaya Orphanage. The funds came from the sales of Mike’s cartoons and the commission of 50 illustrations for Billy Makin’s new eBook “Fishing and Testicles” which will be out at Amazon very soon. Mike has donated over a million baht from his cartoons over the last few years. He’d like remind everyone that it’s coming up to Christmas, so don’t forget the children at the orphanage.

Another woman hater!!
