In honour of a good mate’s request, I would like to open the hunt for a girl that has captivated his imagination and is causing him to drive everyone that has anything to do with South Africa insane.
You know the old joke when it comes to Americans, “Ahhh you are from Africa, do you know Billy?” Well this American means it! Repeatedly! Although he is not looking for Billy so his question is “Ahhh you are from South Africa, do you know Debbie Jooste?”
** My spelling of her name may be slightly incorrect but please forgive me and let’s just look past that and move on shall we? Thanks **
My answer to his question is unfortunately no, but I did say that I would do my bit and try to help him track her down. I don’t need to ask why cos that’s none of my business. What are his intentions? That’s none of my business. What does he do after years of chasing his tail when he finally catches it? Same deal, none of my business. But still I want to help the poor chap cos I know how it feels. I too have lost one that got away but that’s a whole different hunt.

Being South Africa and considering there could be more than one Debbie Jooste, I will list particular exclusions which will eliminate the incorrect Debbies. Come on, play along, it could be fun!
Lets start with:
- If your name is, or was (you could be married now) Debbie Jooste, please raise your hand high enough so that I can see you there at the back!
Now:
- If you are not female please lower your hand (hey, I’m just making sure for my poor mate!)
- If you were not originally from, or have not lived and/or worked in Durban, South Africa, please lower your hand.
- If you have never smelled really amazing (I got this list from him remember), then please lower your hand.
- If you have never been a devastatingly nice girl (again I got this from him), then please lower your hand.
- If you don’t, or have never, looked super hot in pink bikini, please lower your hand.
- If you are not, or have never been, blonde (natural or not), please lower your hand.
- If you are not around 5ft summin, then please lower your hand.
I’m beginning see why he still had a crush on this girl!!
- If you have never been a manager of ISOS, then please lower your hand. If you need to ask what ISOS is, then please lower your hand.
- If you have never been to and worked in Burma, please lower your hand.
- If you have never been to and worked in Bangkok, please lower your hand.
Ok that’s all I have for now as he didn’t want to divulge any info too personal although he continues to speak highly of you/her.
- If your hand is still waving up there in the air, you can lower it now but for the sole purpose of getting in touch with ME! I have an urgent message for you!
- ALSO, if you know someone that could have played along and her hand would still be waving up there in the air, same deal, please get in touch with me. I have an urgent message for her!
Thanks for coming. I really appreciate your help. Debbie, I look forward to be talking with you soon!
Ps. Debbie Jooste. You sound incredible! I wish there were more of you around!
If it is you or you have any information pertaining to the goal at hand, then please either leave a comment or email me on offthehoox@gmail.com







Re Debbie Jooste……………………….
i just happen to know the senior practitioner for iSOS - and you do too…
he came to vist Albania remember when i was ill or poisoned by the turks ……and i keep in touch with him - Greig Siren is his name - should i mail him - would it help your search
do i get money
if she has a sister do i get an introduction
answers on a postcard please,
stoo
Dear Mr Hoox,
I can assure you that I am a one off and I can easily extend the court order to include you.
I suggest you look elsewhere. Meantime, like many other girls, I dream of the day a wild and rugged Scotsman sweeps me off my feet. If you want to provide a real service, then you can help me find the man of my dreams.
Hugs
D
Stoo - Again you come to the party as the wealth of knowledge! Thanks but we already have a door open into ISOS but alas it was a long time ago and no known records exist! If she has a sister, I get first dibs!
. Oh and you know the hunter. He is the chipmunks sidekick from IRQ.
DJ - HEEEYYY DEBBIE! Thank you SO much for responding so quickly! You are even more incredible than initially imagined! I understand you wanting to keep your distance and I will respect that as well as trying to honour your new request. As soon as I find someone fitting your dream description I will be sure to be in touch although I think it is a big ask! Kisses! XXX
Hi
please pass on to Debbie (or if she’s reading this) “Wombie”
I would love to hear from you as I’m in the Land of sand between the 2 mightly biblical rivers - have been for past 4 years! How time since “the chaos” in ladysmith has flown !
Smurf
Smurf - Oh my goodness. It seems this ever elusive Debbie J has left a trail of destruction in the form the form of broken hearts all over this planet. I can assure you however I have no idea who or where she is and I have not had the fortune of meeting this obviously lovely woman. I swear I will let all parties concerned know of her whereabouts should they become known unless of course this lovely Debbie J wants to remain under the radar and I will respect that.
And I have contact details for all your pursuers!
DEBBIE…. Where are you girl? I have messages mounting up for you!
Mr Hoox,
Thank you. For the present, I prefer to remain under the radar. I appreciate that some of your readers may not like this, but they have to understand that I am the victim of a relationship with avery lovely gentleman from Scotland.
I’m afraid I am suffering from a case of comparing all new men to him and nothing compares to Jock Loving (if any of your female readers have experienced this, they will understand exactly what I mean).
To all your male readers, I can only suggest that they befriend a Scotsman and try to learn the art of love from him. Probably best if they opted for a more mature Scotsman as they definately know how to show a lady a very good time.
Hugs to all you lovely Jocks out there……….
DJ - Hahahahaha…. Oh boy …. you kill me!! I did befriend a Scotsman and all that did was get me drunk in Sfax!
Ok, that and plenty good cracks.
Hoox,
Not sure about good cracks (yes, there have been a few), I’m thinking more along the lines of good craic.
The memories are flooding back. Is it only me that has fond memories of malt whisky, black pudding and bacon in bungalow 5 (along with the craic, of course).
Debbie,
I hope to visit Durban some day, perhaps we should get together and share some stories!
WG (also known as Tonto McTavish, but that’s another story)
WG - Show me a good craic and I will show you a good crack. Bungalow 5. Hmmmmm That was Billy’s house wasn’t it? I’m sure it was! Or was it mine? I can’t remember… It was all too sober those days. Blue or Red tin?
Chris,
Sorry, fuzzymemory about house numbers. The important thing was that we had good food, good drink and great company.
I hope and peay that the crack you’re referring to is NOT bricky’s cleavage.
WG
Mr Hoox
The answers provided by the elusive “D J” dont seem to be characteristic of the original Debbie. I am therefore not convinced that you are corresponding with the ‘original DJ’ and you yourself my be a vitim of a ‘Hoox’ caller !!
two simple questions will sought this out for you….. they are..
1) Who and what was “Babaane”
2) Who was Simba ?
Mr Hoox, rest assured that only the ‘real’ Debbie Jooste will know the answers…… good luck !
Smurf
Smurf,
I will not dignify your accusations by responding to them. If you want to believe something, then it will be so.
Hoox,
You and I know the truth. I hope you are enough of a gentleman to protect a young ladies innocence and virtue.
Smurf - Hahaha… a “hoox” caller. I like that. Regarding communication with DJ, let me assure you that I, and no one else, has yet heard from her. I do certainly wish you well in tracking her down.
DJ - Now you just being mean!
Be nice to Smurf.
