Tenth Boo, a video needing to be put together for Monday and the Proms starting in a week. I’m beginning to stress just a bit.

About


Jon Jacob is a charming individual who prides himself on maintaining a modest level of intelligence and wit at all times.

He’s tenacious, shameless and pushy. He’s also prone to moments of intense bitterness and resentment. At the present time he only drinks alcohol on a Friday night. He’s also really quite vain.

Statistical evidence fails to dissuade him from writing what he considers is a mildly interesting blog. It massages his over-inflated ego.

Assuming you’re still reading this far down the page, you may be interested to learn that Jon has made some weird videos about the BBC Proms, first in 2007 with a smallish camera and in 2008 with a considerably bigger camera.

Recently described by one fairly high-up man at the BBC as a narcissist, Jon also maintains a You Tube channel featuring a strange collection of efforts which have failed to garner a huge hit-rate. We’re not talking a massive internet success here. More of a low-key distribution figure targeting a niche audience who are prepared to forgive Jon as he drones on and on and on.

Jon Jacob is everywhere. Find him on Facebook, Twitter, and on Flickr. You could always email at thoroughlygood [@] gmail.com.
