"Simon Flunkert? Who is he? A nerd? Or a smart boy? Or a little confidence trickster?"
I'm simply Simon! Simon Flunkert! |
A confidence trickster? Oh, that's mean! And I'm not a nerd either! But I would go for the smart boy. Well, joking aside - I'm Simon Flunkert, and I'm thirteen. If you don't know me and you live in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom or the States or some other exciting place far away from here, never mind! But if you don't know me and you live in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, well, what have you been doing for the past four years, I wonder. He he he! Okay, that's no problem. Let me just tell you that the Ki.Ka (a very cool German TV channel broadcasting programs for kids like ourselves) have been publishing my adventures on their videotext pages since I was nine years old. Puuh, that's been a long time, hasn't it? |

I live in a place called Sehnde. It's near Hanover
somewhere in the northern part of Germany. Some people think it's a boring place
with boring people who live in boring houses and have boring jobs and boring
hobbies and boooring children, but anyone who says life in Sehnde is boring is
boring, too. Because when you are really really really really really curious
(like myself), you always look a little bit closer at things, and then you'll
see what you wouldn't have believed before.
Our local forest, for example.
"How baaaaawring, a forest" you might groan. Maybe. But it was here my friends
and I came across a bunch of ugly-looking extraterrestrians. Well, honestly
speaking, they didn't turn out to be real extraterrestrians, but only a Bavarian
hoompa music brass band in their traditional outfit, who were practising for a
concert an the World Fair 2000 in Hanover. So they looked extraterrestrian, and
the TV people thought they were extraterrestrians, and their ... err ... music
was from out of this world anyway.
Or take my school. "Now this really is the
climax of boredom - your school" you shout. It may look like a dull school, but
it was here where I directed our schoolplay - Shakespeare's ROMEO AND JULIET.
Unfortunately it wasn't me who picked the actors, and Matthias Koettelbacke and
Anke Rankeschlanke turned the stage into a battlefield, so I actually wanted to
swap schools afterwards. Here I also got to know my teacher of biology, nobleman
Baron von Primelhausen, whose dark secret I found out when I followed him to a
drain at the local purification plant, and here my classmates Mary Christmas,
Waddy Shockenhorror, Hevvi Mettel and myself planned the Halloween trick we
would play on old Herr von Boellerich - and, oh, we would mess that one up. And,
ooooh yes, I found out why you girls always go to the toilet IN PAIRS!
Mom and Dad The only two people I've known all my life, I
reckon. |
My younger sister Claudia I have known her all HER life. Claudia is eleven now, two
years younger than myself. Actually we get along quite well together, even
though we are brother and sister. |
My classmate Sirpa Hundelainen We haven't known each other all our lives, but from our
first year at school. |
My classmate Sepp Tember He's Bavarian, and he's proud of it: Sepp Tember. He
moved to our town two years ago, after his father bought a pub in Sehnde,
which is called "Bavarian Embassy". It is Bavarian hoompa music Sepp is
after, he plays the zither and yodels all the time. He prefers wearing his
Bavarian traditional costume complete with lederhosen and tuft of chamois
hair. |
Baron von Primelhausen, my teacher of biology I have got quite a lot of foreign teachers. For example,
my American English teacher, Ms Cannat-Readman. Or my Turkish-born teacher
of music, Mr Atonal Müsük, who is still so fond of New Wave. And, of course, Ms Agnzeta Kratochvilewski-Wospolotchensky, our Polish teacher of German,
who only speaks broken German. But we usually help her when she makes
gross mistakes. |
Daniel Roy - my secretary As a school student, who has so many adventures to boot,
I haven't got the time to write all my stories myself. So I have delegated
this work to
Daniel Roy, who holds a university degree of English
Literature, French Linguistics and Sociology. Today he lives in Bruehl
near Cologne and makes huge efforts to be taken seriously as a software engineer. |
Malcolm McGookin of Asterisk*, the "painter" responsible for my red hair: And Malcolm McGookin has even proposed to Ki.Ka to make an animated series of some of my stories. Isn't that goooorgeous? |
Hi, fellow-kids |
