There's no mystery. Bv is a regular guy like (most of) the rest of us. We might disagree strongly and passionately on what we want and expect from the Stones in 2006, but I've met him lots of times (usually by complete accident on the road somewhere like the lobby of the Staples Centre, parked next to me in a bar in New York or wandering the mean streets of Glasgow at around midnight looking in vain for a restaurant that might be still open) and he's a top bloke.

Takes a lot of effort to run a fan magazine for a quarter century (with a couple of years off in the mid 80s). I've been subscribing to it since 1983. A scary enough statistic!

Bjornulf is a great guy.He's a mate of mine and I have known him for over 10 years.I have met up with him all over the world from Rio ,NYC,Sydney etc.A top guy who gives up his free time to serve its IORR.

Boys, boys, boys. We don't want any threats of violence here. I think, or rather hope, that I'm speaking for everyone. Keep it cool guys.

You should've told him to just get a kebab! They're the only places open after midnight!

Coincidence or what on the official rolling stones store if you purchase any goods and if you read the small print it is done through a company called 'concert products international BV.

Just a thought.

His real name is Nanker Phelge.

Although some refer to him as Mr Jimmy


Marv Peck

Y'all remember that rubber legged boy

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "bv" in this case the Dutch version of "inc" or "ltd"?

Yep, it is.

as you can see, BV also appears on the setlist!

That's a kick a*s setlist. Love to see that in a club.

I think to get BV's attention we should do as they do in the states with the Jerry Springer show:

BV BV BV BV BV BV BV!!!!

Hours every day

Yes.

Many many every day

Laptop + internet + servers.

Typical IORR office:


How it looks at home right now:


I am not all that secret really.
But many people think I am a public person.
I don't like to have my private life published
like I am some sort of a lunatic or exhibit.
I am just a fan that happens to run the
oldest still in existing world-wide fan club
of the Rolling Stones. And a web etc.

Bjornulf

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

THAT'S the IORR headquarters??????? I imagined something like this: [themes.myqth.com]
And your computer looking something like this:
[krone.physik.unizh.ch]

I guess I was wrong.

JumpingKentFlash

You know if you travel with hand luggage only there is a limit how much you can bring...

Bjornulf

Alright the man comes thru. You do maintain this whole site on your own. I thought we get a lot of snow, man it looks like January there. Does it ever thaw? I can appreciate your privacy.

Care to share any of those Stones contact stories with us?

Thanks BV for the peek, keep it comin brother.

I know, I know.

JumpingKentFlash

Nice of you to answer Bjornulf. That indoor-picture, that's from a hotel somewhere. It must be. I've no idea why, but I also lay out all my money on the table when I'm at a hotel.
You got even more snow than I do, you should be out skiing today! Oh I forgot, you are in Japan at the moment.

BV-keep up the great work. The next time the Stones are in Montreal, anywhere on the East Coast or Las Vegas I will be happy to buy you a good dinner and plenty of good wine.

What? No peanut butter?

Montreal = Smoked Meat and Poutine capital of the world!

BV,

Another easy follow up question for you:

Have any of the members of the Stones actually checked out this forum that you have first hand knowledge of?

If so, what was their impression or thoughts on the content?

BV,

When does it get warm where you live? Any response to that Stones question from my last post?

Hmmmmmmmm...........Sounds like BV is to this century what Bill German was to the last.
