Happy New Year to you all!

Another year has passed us by, and I'm hoping that the coming year will bring much happier times for everyone.


Wishing you all a Prosperous 2010!

Happy Christmas!

Folks it's hard to believe that another year has passed us by without stopping to check if we were happy with the speed at which we've been travelling! As 2009 draws to a close, and for many I know this will be a good thing, I'd like to thank you all for supporting my charities throughout the year, and for helping me to make a difference to so many people.



2010 looks set to be equally as challenging, so for an all too brief period, I'd like to wish each and everyone of you all a Very Merry Christmas and Peaceful New Year!

Lapland here I come



I'm very excited as tomorrow sees me heading, once again, for the Arctic Circle with my favourite charity to give 100 or more seriously ill children the experience of a lifetime! A fun packed day lay ahead of all of us, with sleigh rides and snow ball fights listed amongst the activities available. The day will culminate in all the children meeting Father Christmas and his helpers, so that they can have a chance to tell the great man himself what might be on their Christmas lists...I'm still writing mine at the moment!!

Each year When You Wish Upon a Star runs a series of trips to Lapland to bring some magic into the lives of the children, who are suffering from life threatening illnesses. The work of the charity has certainly touched my heart, and if you want to learn more about how the team make the dreams of sick children come true why not visit the link below...

Putin's Address


Today see's Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin on Russian National TV answering questions from the people of the worlds largest country. Highlights of his interview can be seen on the English language channel Russia Today, or by visiting their website www.rt.com no doubt there will be some very interesting questions posed.
I shall be tuning in myself to see what he thinks will happen in the coming year to Russia and her people.

Celebrating the Chaika


I've long had a love affair with this wonderous car, so today I've decided I'm going to start my search for a 1950's Soviet Chaika car. Why? Well, it is quite simply one of the finest cars ever produced, and the original mark 1 Gaz Chaika's were the cars of the politburo, with their lush interiors including heavy curtains. They don't make cars like this anymore!

My search is on, so I shall be spending the next few days chatting with some friends around Russia to try and source an early production model...when I find one, I'll be sure to let you all know, in the meantime I hope you all have a good day on the roads...

Join in the Santa Madness...

Ok I know it's still November, and if like me you suffer from Crimbo fatigue as soon as the shops start forcing it upon us in August, you're probably wondering why on earth I'm mentioning Christmas ahead of the 23rd December!! Well, it's very simple, my dear friends at the children's charity 'When You Wish Upon a Star', are holding their annual Santa Runs to help raise much needed funds to make the dreams of seriously ill children come true.


There are a host of venues where you can participate, and whilst it is called a Santa Run, it is perfectly acceptable to stroll, crawl or for that matter piggy back off someone a little bit fitter. If you'd like to help us by taking part, or by making a donation to the charity, hit on the link below to find out more.

I myself shall be at Wollaton Park, in Nottingham on 13th December, to kick start and participate in the run there, so if you've got nothing better to do that day why not join me at 10am and make a difference.

Thank you!

World Cup Depression...

Not being a big fan of football, I wouldn't ordinarily be bothered who was playing in the World Cup 2010. However, I was very depressed earlier this week when the Russian Federation was knocked out...unlike the Irish my favourite team bowed out gracefully...albeit leaving me sad and almost inconsolable!

There is however, a glimmer of hope on the horizon, whilst not normally a fickle individual I have decided that I will support an underdog for the 2010 competition. Who I hear you ask might I be backing? Well...put simply I shall be supporting the boys from Pyongyang...yes! The North Korean National Team shall be getting my support just as soon as I am able to lay my hands on one of their shirts for the 2010 games...They may only last round one, but I shall nevertheless remain devoted to their challenge.

On this day in Soviet History...

Those of you who know me well, will know that I am a huge fan of the Soviet Space programme, especially when so many firsts were achieved by people like Sergey Pavlovich Korolyov. Well, when I was looking back at moments in history earlier today...sad I know, but it's something I do from time to time, I was reminded of the Venera programme. What on earth was all that about I hear you ask...and more importantly, do I need to know about any of this old Soviet stuff?? In truth you probably don't. However, I think its always good to store some of this nonsense in your head for the odd pub quiz.


16th November, 1965 : The Soviet Union launches the Venera 3 space probe from Baikonur, Kazakhstan. The mission was to land on the surface of the planet Venus. The mission was successful when Venera 3 crash-landed on Venus on 1st March 1966 becoming the first spacecraft to land on another planet's surface.

Harry Brown...


Well folks, as predicted I made it to the cinema last night and saw Daniel Barber's debut feature length film Harry Brown. This is the much talked about movie starring Michael Caine, that quite frankly portrays a very real image of modern British society. The film from the very beginning highlights the plight of inner city communities, and whilst not the fastest film in the world, the pace is sufficient to keep people glued.


The basic plot, if you don't know it already, sees Caine, an ex Royal Marine commando, turning in to an old aged vigilante following the death of his wife and the murder of his closest friend Len. Without spoiling it for you, I will say that the violence portrayed is not gratuitous but balanced with moments of grief and despair. I thoroughly enjoyed the film, although I must confess felt sad when I left the cinema at just how real it felt.


There is a danger that some younger people watching the film will view it as wicked, where in fact it is anything but cool. There is, as with every Caine film, a one liner to bring about a smile, and Caine does what Caine does best. I'd rate this film a 4* plus.

Wild winds...


Blimey, about an hour ago I decided to hop on my bike for my daily ride (part of my healthy living regime), only to find myself being blown back 50 yards for every 10 I managed to cover...I'm not recuperating with a nice cup of green & ginger tea, and wouldn't recommend anyone try to mimic me until the weather improves a bit.


It's wild and windy out there today folks, so if you are going to venture out, make sure that you wrap up well and try wherever possible to have a tail wind. If you were meant to be out in the garden picking up the fallen leaves, forget it, make the most of the excuse and enjoy a relaxing day indoors doing something less strenuous!


This evening I'm going to brave the outside world again and popping to the cinema to see the new Michael Cain film 'Harry Brown', and will no doubt offer a short critique on the film tomorrow. I'll also try to catch Amelia, but my eyelids after all this early morning cycling may not hold out for the two films...sad I know...I am getting old!!

Is tonight the night?


Sting said it all earlier this week when he launched an attack on the X-Factor for failing to live up to its own billing of being a SINGING competition. Good on him...I've always been a bit of a fan of Sting ever since his days as the front man of The Police (and yes I do realise they are back together again).


After his professional outburst, will we see the show return to its roots tonight...will we see real singing talent given the chance to shine through...will Jedward actually sing or will be be subjected to another torturous performance where the boys leap around the stage with their rather unique brand of dance?


Lets hope that when the public vote, they vote on singing ability and nothing else.


10 Nov 2009

We will remember them...



Tomorrow marks the 11th hour or the 11th Day of the 11th Month, Armistice Day. I, like to many around the world will be bowing my head in silence at 11am as a mark of respect for those who have, and continue, to lay down their lives in order that we might freely express our opinions. Tomorrow is a day of reflection when, in my very humble opinion, the world should seek peace and forgiveness. Lets hope that each and every one of you will do something to benefit someone else tomorrow, making your compassion worthy of the great sacrifice paid by the few.


We will remember them!

Why am I not surprised by the X Factor!


Why am I not surprised that Jedward are still in the X Factor...I'm an occasional viewer of the show when time permits, and am not in slightest bit surprised that the twins from Dublin are still in the competition despite being completely out of tune.


Now whilst I'm no expert, I was always under the impression that the X Factor was a talent competition for SINGERS!! Maybe, in his own inimitable style Mr Cowel has used the boys to his advantage to ensure that his three over 25's remain strong in the run up to the final...hmmm. For those who are fans of the boys apologies, but please do remember it's a competition requiring the contestants to be able to sing, take Leona Lewis! Lets hope things improve next week, should I find the time to catch it...

Poppy Appeal

Today see's the annual pilgrimage of the Royal British Legion to London's Royal Albert Hall, where the audience and the nation will join Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth in paying their respects to those who have laid down their lives in pursuit of Peace.
Earlier in the week I was listening to BBC London when Vanessa Feltz posed a question surrounding the wearing of poppies. A number of callers were, in my opinion, under the misguided impression that wearing a poppy was an act of condoning war! It could not in fact, again in my opinion, be further from the truth. I consider the wearing of a poppy our annual reminder that so many have given up so much in order that we might be free to live our lives the way we choose. I can only hope that as many of you as possible have donated to this years appeal, and that you are wearing your poppies with pride!


The Berlin Wall - 20 Years on!




It hardly seems like 20 years have passed since the fall of the Berlin Wall. I for one can remember watching the events unfold on as the people of Berlin flocked to the Brandenburg Gate to help toppel the wall that had devided the people of Germany for 40 years.
What has the world learnt about unity and peace since then...frankly speaking not a lot it would seem! I can only hope that as we mark this momentous occasion, we spare a thought for all of those around the world who are not enjoying the harmony of unity.
Let's hope that 2010 will bring renewed efforts on the part of all world leaders to create stability for all.

The Blogs Back!

I know it's been a couple of months since I last rambled on, and for those who were glad of this, my apologies as we have received a great number of requests for the blog to be put back and so here I am!!

14 Sept 2009

Blog will be offline for a while

Sadly I am going to be withdrawing Jeremy's Whispers for a while, which means that there will be no further posts here for sometime, those of you who are regulars please accept my apologies but the pressures of workload mean that my team and I will be unable to keep this updated in the way we would like, so felt it better to temporarily suspend activity.
Best wishes,

4 Sept 2009

The Swine got me!

They say that silence is golden, but in my case it has been swine flu and work load related, so apologies to all of you out there who make regular visits to Jeremy's Whispers. The swine flu thing is not the most pleasant of conditions to have in fairness, so to those of you out there suffering, and yes I know it's gone quiet from a media perspective, but you are still out there, keep wrapped up and don't give in to the pain....I would say that the stupid jokes about pigs and the like will eventually stop!!
Now that I'm back in circulation, I've had a busy week launching some new campaigns on behalf of homeless children in Russia and the republics of the former Soviet Union. I'll be posting more details about these campaigns both here and on the website over the next couple of weeks. Keep your eyes peeled for ways in which you can help me and the team to make the lives of homeless kids better!

Give cyclists a bit of room!!

For those not in the know, I've become a bit of a cycling fan since I started my health kick back in January. More or less everyday I make my way out onto the roads, and run the gauntlet with the idiots behind the wheel.


Why is it that most drivers seem hell bent on clipping cyclists as they pass them?? One idiot this morning at 6am, yes I know it's a bit sad being out at 6am on a Sunday morning, but it is without doubt the best time of the day to clear your head and avoid (or so I thought), the average smuck on the roads, decided he would get close enough to check the tyre pressures on my bike! What a complete and utter TW@*! If ever I should see this cycloptic fool, he clearly could only see out of one eye, I shall be sure to educate him on early morning road etiquette!

Living History Show a Marvel

Many of you will know my interest in 20th Century History, and in particular the history of the Soviet Union both politically and socially. The Great Patriotic War (WWII), is perhaps the defining moment of the 20th Century, especially as far as the Commonwealth of Independent States is concerned, which is perhaps why I was so delighted to encounter a group of living history enthusiasts at a recent show in Kent.

The 2nd Guards is a group of UK Based enthusiasts, who at weekends relive the live of the Red Army Soldier during WWII. This is not in any way the glorification of war, far from it! It is in fact a way that todays generation can touch and feel the enormous sacrifice made by ordinary men and women around the world during this period of global terror. I for one was captivated by not only the 2nd Guards, but the German, British, American, Dutch and other nations living history groups on display at the War & Peace show at Hop Farm. The event is an annual offering, and below are just a few shots taken at this incredible insight into the 1940's.




Birthday Treat...St. Basil's Cathedral Delights


Folks, your's truly celebrated a birthday a couple of weeks ago, and yesterday I was presented with this rather stunning fruit cake of St. Basil's Cathedral! It is truly a masterpiece of baking!


The cake was skillfully created by a good friend of mine, Rajinder, who clearly has a talent for all things cake, never mind Jane Asher!. In fact so good is she, that all of her friends have been encouraging her to go into the cake making business full time, and I'm pleased to say that after an awful lot of nagging, she has. So if you fancy tasting some of Rajinder's handy work for yourself, please get in touch with my Boarding Lounge Team, via the website contacts page, and a member of the team will be only too happy to put you in touch with the latest cake making talent to hit London.

U2 Wow Croke Park


There's no doubt! The boys are once again on top form, and managed to wow the 80,000+ fans who had assembled at Dublin's Croke Park to pay homage to the worlds biggest bad U2! Having been a fan since 1979, I've attended a fair few U2 concerts, but never before have I been so monumentally entertained. The 360 degree tour is without doubt their finest offering to date.
The show opened with 4 tracks from the new album to include Magnificent, which summed up the night. During more than 2 hours of non-stop music the band traversed their career with songs like Beautiful Day, The Unforgettable Fire, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Pride and With or Without You.
The Set, which Bono described as their space ship, is incredible and definitely adds value to already excellent nights entertainment. There are a few nice surprises, which I wont mention, just in case you're planning to see the boys in action. Suffice it to say, you will not be disappointed in any way!

Keep up the good work guys, and I now eagerly await the next album and tour!


19 Jul 2009

Less than a Week to Croke Park!


You may or may not be aware that I'm an enormous U2 fan. Some might call be a grouppie, but I'm not sure I've got the bug that badly...but then again... Saturday 25th July, I shall be joining the mongal hordes all paying homage to their favourite bad in the boys home town of Dublin! Yes folks, I'll be enjoying the extravaganza of U2's latest 360 degree tour, and frankly can't wait to see the band performing live again, which is where their music is always at its best.

I can only hope that there will be the odd golden oldie thrown into the mix, especially the odd tune from the Joshua Tree, which is my favourite of their albums...

More of the concert in a week or so's time, in the meantime you can always catch up with the bands activities at http://www.u2.com/.

Apologies for the Silence

Humble apologies to all of you who follow my blog on a regular basis, things have been a bit hectic in the world of all things Jezza, so I've been unable to find sufficient time to put the old digits over the keyboard to keep you up to date.
What's been keeping me so busy? Well, it would be telling at this stage, but suffice it to say there are a couple of exciting projects which are currently in the research and development stage at the moment, and I'm hoping the team and I will be able to share more details with you in the coming weeks.

Summer May Have Arrived

I was out early this morning zooming around on my bicycle, when it suddenly dawned on me that the Summer may finally have reached europe! What may me suddenly realise? Good question...I guess it might have been these views of the poppies that confronted me that made me feel good about this morning... Hope you're all enjoying a wonderfully peaceful day basking in the sunshine wherever you may be in the world!

D-Day Remembered


It is hard to believe that 65 years has passed since the brave men and women of the allied forces started the second front against Hitler and his Nazi dictatorship. I for one will be paying homage to those who laid down their lives in order that we might be free of the Third Reich. My fellow Soviet Ansestors paid the highest price of any nation, with more than 27,000,000 people dying during the Great Patriotic War.

If you do nothing else this weekend, please spare a couple of minutes of quiet contemplation on Sunday morning as a mark of respect for those who cannot be on the beaches of Normandy to mark this important date. I will be places flowers on a Soviet War Memorial, and will endeavour in my own small way to say thanks...

4 Jun 2009

Today is Polling Day


Whilst like so many people I'm sick to the hind teeth of corrupt politicians, I do believe the only way we can deal with them is to use our vote...I know it's an old fashioned view, but spookily I think it works, which is why I'll be using my vote later today.

Make sure you use yours too! Who knows we might all get a taste for voting and then be ready for a General Election in the UK!

M25 Torture

I don't know about you, but if you spend as much time as I do on the motorway systems of europe you'll probably share my irritation at the M25 around London. This evil god for saken NCP Car Park just gotten worse...just as the summer approaches and the caravan club of Great Britain warms up (more's the pity! I'm not a fan I must say), they introduce a stack of new road works in various locations, reducing speed limits to zero and causing more accidents than ever before!
It is bad enough on London's orbital delight with 3 lanes, now that they are about to increase to 4 lanes heaven knows what will happen...my misery with this road will no doubt continue for the 54 weeks they have penciled for completion plus the 18 weeks of additional over run on the project....hmm...I'll stop my rant now...

29 May 2009

Another Busy Week


Folks it's been another one of those frantic weeks with too much to do and not a lot of time in which to do it. My abortive attempts to get to the cinema to see Tom Hanks latest offering Angels & Demons was thrawted by workload. I'm told by some that it's better than the DeVinci Code, and by others that it's a heap of pooh! Still I'm determined to find out for myself, so will make the effort this weekend. I did finally manage to grab a copy of Kate Winslets 'The Reader' on DVD on Monday, and thoroughly enjoyed the screenplay of the book, for those of you who dislike continual sex scenes it might not be for you, but if you can look beyond this it's a compelling story of human nature. My personal rating 8 out of 10, very watchable.


Now...Britain's Got Talent....hmm...not sure about this one, I'd be interested to hear your opinions on the show, and perhaps more importantly the hot favourites...Personally, I'd like to see Simon, Peers and Amanda putting on a variety show that the audience can push their Red Crosses too...hmm...some how I don't think that's going to happen do you?




21 May 2009

The Apprentice

Sorry folks, if you're not an Apprentice fan I can only apologise! Personally, I love the show despite the lack lustre wannabes...last night I watched another feckless attempt at trying to impress Sir Alan, and wondered what I would do if I was in his shoes...I might have fired them all by now to be honest.
It would be fair to say that Ben arrogance caught up with him last night, but some how I can't help but feel that it should have been Debra on the chopping block last night...This is only my personal opinion, and I'm sure there are plenty of you out there who would disagree with me!
Next week...hmm...shopping channels...for fear of upsetting too many shopaholics I'll refrain from giving any pearls of wisdom until this time next week...

Big Thanks to the Household Cavalry


Yesterday I had the honour to be a guest at Knightsbridge Barracks, home of Her Majesty's Household Cavalry Divisions. The men and women of both the Lifeguards and Blues & Royals made my first visit to their central London home a real delight. Despite the heavens opening a couple of times, the troops and their magnificent horses put on a show for a handful of guests, whilst rehearsing for their next formal parades later this month.


I hope that the 2009 ceremonial season proves to be an enormous success for them all, and I'd like to say a big thank you to Captain Mark Avison, the Household Cavalry Riding Master for facilitating my visit.

15 May 2009

Eurovision Fever


Tomorrow sees Moscow hosting the Eurovision for the first time! Whilst I'm a huge fan of all things Moscovy, I'm not sure I'll be heading down town to watch the wonders of this years competition. Let's face it, Serbia will give Russia 10 points, Cyprus and Greece will bestow 10 points upon one another...need I say more! For those that are fans...ENJOY, for those that aren't in the words of the cult kids show Why Dont You...switch off the television and go and do something less boring instead of sitting at home watching tv, turn it off it's no good...

10 May 2009

Should Gordon Brown go?


Never mind my week being busy! Gordon's has been a tad complicated...nothing new there I hear you say! However, the pressure has been intense this week, he seems surrounded by scandal not least created by his dear colleague Hazel Blears. Given the general mood of the media world, I thought this weeks poll could reflect the atmosphere of whitehall. So...this weeks poll is simple...should Gordon call a General Election now? It will be interesting to see what you all think as the week continues.


Busy Week


My apologies folks...it's been a very busy week in the world of Jezza, which is why I've not been able to get carried away here with updates. I must confess I over did the exercise regime yesterday with a marathon 2 hour badminton session, weights in the gym and finally a cycle ride! The body knows it's been busy...today I'm going to be taking it easy with a spot of gardening...

6 May 2009

Let the Gurkha's Stay!


I'm the man with a mission today, I've decided it's high time to join the growing number of voices putting pressure on our so called Government to allow the Nepalese Gurkhas have the right to remain in the UK. These guys generation after generation have served King, Queen and Country tirelessly! If ever there was a group who truly deserved our thanks it's these boys... They more than most have earned their right to be in the UK...come on folks lets get behind this campaign and put pressure on Mr Brown and his band of well...

Join the wonderful Joanna Lumley in getting these brave men unreserved rights to residency by clicking on the image...and Thank you!

Latest Survey




Well folks...now that British Service Personnel are finally leaving Iraq, is it time for us to be asking the British Government whether or not we should be bringing them back from Afghanistan as well?

This weeks survey does just that, let me know your thoughts on the subject? Don't forget you can also go to the Forum to participate in other similar debates. The links just here so why not sign up today!


1 May 2009

May Day


A very happy May Day to one and all! I hope that the early morning sunshine across Europe is a sign of things to come weather wise. Traditionally, May Day is of course the one day in the year when workers unite to mark all manner of achievements...


However, the world continues to be gripped by its very own credit crunch, not too mention the growing problem of swine flu and of course cheating politicians, who are insistent that recovery is on the horizon...it feels a bit like trying to find the end of a rainbow! Each and every one of us is going to have to find some innner strength for that all important PMA (positive mental attitude), if we are to survive the continuing doom of mismanagement the world over!


One piece of good news yesterday, was the fact that the British Forces have completed their mission to Iraq and can finally head home, lets hope that they're not about to be redeployed to Afghanistan! Last month also saw the official end to the Russian Governments military action in Chechnya! There's just a slim chance people may have some brief peace!


Today will also see groups of Morris Dancers celebrating in their time honoured fashion with a bit of baton waving and may pole dancing...some cheer to behold...go out and celebrate with them!

29 Apr 2009

Forum Launched


Like the Ancient Romans, I love a chin wag, which is why today saw the launch of the Whispers & More Forum. Avid Forum goers will be able to join the debate on a host of topics close to my heart, as well as make suggestions about the type of topics we might want to go off on one about. To join the forum you'll need to head for Jeremyspake.com and hit on the link on the home page.


Our IT Guru's will then get you all signed up, and away you go!

Victory Day - День Победы


Many people across the former Soviet Union will once again be celebrating Victory Day on the 9th of May. День Победы, as it is known in Russia, marks the official ending of the Great Patriotic War (WW2), in Europe.


I for one will be joining some of the brave Veterans, who will be remembering their fallen comrades. As ever, the traditional Red Square Parade will take place, and for anyone remotely interested in this period of modern history, a visit to Moscow for the parade is a must!
More than 27 Million citizens of the Soviet Union lost their lives during this period, which is perhaps why I feel passionate about spending some time with those who survived. In some small way I'd like to think that they appreciate the acknowledgement of their endeavours on behalf of us all.

D-Day 65 Years On


Believe it or not 6th June, 2009 marks the 65th Anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy by the allies. I for one think it's important to not only remember those who gave their lives, but also help the dwindling number of veterans who played their part to rid the world of Hitler and his cronies! It's also important that we help those who have participated in the countless conflicts since WW2, which is why I'd like as many of you as possible to visit the British Legion website dedicated to D-Day 65 years on. You can find them by clicking on the image.


Thanks for indulging me, and showing that their commitment to freedom wasn't and isn't in vain!

U2 Back on Tour


If like me you're a huge fan of U2, you'll be heartened to know that they're back on the road this year with their 360 Degree Tour! I for one shall be in Dublin enjoying their latest musical offerings...I have just discovered an old song of theirs called 'Smile', which has been popped on a new album entitled 'Medium, Rare & Remastered' I'm loving this song another U2 Ballad of outstanding quality...but then again that's just my opinion.

25 Apr 2009

St. George's Day Poll


I'm not sure about you folks, but I for one think England needs to make more of a fuss of St. George's Day...After all, Scotland, Ireland & Wales all do a terrific job of making sure their patron saints are not forgotten, so why is that England feels it inappropriate? If you think that England should be more proactive on the 23rd April, each year, show us by taking part in this week's poll! Not many people realise that St. George is also the official emblem of the City of Moscow...now I wonder why I might have started this poll???

Round Britain Aerial Challenge


Today will be a busy one for me and the Team, as we'll be putting the plans together for our Round Britain Air Challenge, which will be held in September. The Tour will see me and 3 brave souls traversing the UK in 48 hours in a Yak 18...well...I guess it had to be something with Russian heritage! We plan to visit up to 30 airfields during the two day marathon, raising funds for some of my 2009 charities as we go. More info will be posted at the website once the final route has been agreed.

Anzac Day



For those not in the know, today is ANZAC day, which is why we've made sure we're flying both the Australian and New Zealand flags over our HQ...I'm a great believer in marking the tremendous sacrifice people have paid over the years to create our semi-fragile freedom! Many of you will have heard of Gallipoli in Turkey, and for those of you who haven't now might be a good time to watch the Mel Gibson film of the same name...it should explain things a little better than I can here...

Jeremy Joins Twitter


I've finally decided to give in to pressure and join the Twitter Revolution, for those of you out there that love to Twitter please feel free to nudge me, after all there's nothing worse than feeling like Billy No Mates!! The key I guess is to know where to find me there...well with flawless logic my team decided it would be best to keep it simple, so you'll find me at Jeremy_Spake, it's that simple...according to my IT Gurus!
