But for now, have a or and enjoy h2g2 .

So long and thanks for all the

Hi Jonathan, thanks for the greeting. My brother's name is also Jonathan, I notice you use the same spelling as him, I am always inclined to spell it Jonathon.

My real name is Simon, but my online name nearly eveywhere is Jakell. I chose this a few years ago when I was quite busy online in an anti-nazi context, I don't know what part of the world you're from but in the North of england at that time there was a worrying uprise in the popularity of the British National Party (still is unfortunately).
Why Jakell you may ask. It is a combination of JAKe and ELwood, the Blues Brothers, who not only dumped some neo nazis in the river but went on to play a great gig afterwards, this appealed to me as a lot of anti nazis are a bit humourless, and also because I'm a musician.

If this seems a bit talkative (too much information), I'm always like this when I'm new somewhere, I get more chatty when I've been around a bit. Also I've recently changed to a flat fee for my internet so I'm not as conscious of my online time ( a good thing)

Hope you don't mind a few questions about you. What part of the world are you from? Are you a real witch (as in Wicca) and who is Princess Lillie? Hope to here form you soon.
Cheers, Jakell

Hi Jakell

hee hee Jake and Elwood.. one of my all time fav films, along with 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' and a few others....

I'm from London and I'm abit long in the teeth, I'm old enough to remember the 'Rivers of Blood' about 35 odd years ago

just a little aside the guy who played the nazi leader in Blue Brothers was also in a US TV show called Rowan and Martins laugh-in, he used to write poems and the show also starred a very very young 'Goldie Horn'

mmmm a musician what do you play?? I play piano (most of the keyboard instruments), but I just play for my own pleasure now

Yes I am Pagan, practising Witch and have been for the last 20 years or so

Princess Lillie is another hootoo user, and very close friend ................

but please feel free to ask away

take care

blessed be

Jonathan <./>ACE</.>

By Rivers of blood do you mean Enoch and co? A bit before my time but something I'm aware of (I'm 39)I don't know if it's rose coloured history but Enoch always seeemed relatively harmless compared to some neo nazis I've come across.

As a musician I play most things. Professionally I was a drummer years ago, but stopped for about ten years. In the last year I have started going to a jam session locally and got into guitar (mainly acoustic),bass and have started singing on stage too. I've become fairly proficient on guitar, but my singing leaves a bit to be desired. However I'm enjoying making music again and that is the important thing

I've guessed that you are fairly serious about Wicca after looking up some of your friends (Seraphina especially). I dabbled for quite a while in such things when younger but to be honest I was put of by a number of people who were very twee and romantic about the whole thing, and did not realise the power and gravity of what they were into (hippies in a word).

I have a question... Is there a way of identifying a smiley by simply clicking on it, and not wading through the full list. I am not familiar with most of them. Can I create my own custom list of smileys to sit at the bottom of my conversation page. And is there a nonplussed smiley :-|

Cheers, Jakell.

I only just remember it being a kid I'm 47 now, and I think your right about your views on that

Seraphina I've known her in person for a couple of years now, but we spoke onlne b4 that for a while, she is a wonderful talent sometihing I hadn't come across in a long time, (I know a few dabblers as well), its not just a wicca art it's the whole lifstyle, more relaxed, closer to nature

regarding music I went to the Royal Academy, thus I play classical, very good training, I play jazz because I love it, but I listen to everything from plain chant to r'n'b, if I like it I buy it

smiley codes if you put your cursor on the smiley it should tell you what it is without going to the smiley page, but it wont show you the short code .... ie : )(no space for smile)

hope to chat soon I may be away for a week or so from WED, due to work , but I'll get on of the other <./>ACES</.> to check my postings

hope to chat soon

blessed be

Jonathan <./>ACE</.>
