Jeremy Bole is a member of Christchurch in Woking, and has had a varied life.
He was born in Guildford on 25th January 1978, to his parents Rodney and Wendy Bole. His mother died from cancer in April 2007 whilst on holiday in Cyprus, aged 59. He has a sister called Kirsty, who is five years his senior and was born on 26th December 1972.
His first school was the Dell in Woking Surrey, which he attended from 1982 to 1983 before he joined St Micheals School, Woking in 1983 before the school closed in 1987 and merged with Allen House school to becomne Hoebridge school in 1987.
Whilst at Hoebridge school he met friends who he still sees today Jamie Cole, John and Chris Gramstadt and Oliver and Peter Key.
After four years at Hoebridge he left in July 1991 and in September 1991 joined Stanbridge Earls school in Romsey Hampshire where a fellow student in his year at Stanbridge earls was Jim Palmer son of the late singer Robert Palmer who died in 2003.
In his three years at Stanbridge earls he described his best moment as doing the endurance course inb March 1993 where the whole school had to walk 32 miles getting up at 6am and where supposed to finish at 6pm or they would eliminated from the excersise. He was eventually put out of the competion after a rice counting excerise where the only light you had from doing it was from a tv screen. The idea of the excercise was that you where supposed to stay awake for 36 hours from 6am on morning to 6pm the following morning the walk was one the school gave you to do and you had checkpoints along the way. As this was 1993 there where no mobile phones but the idea when walking was to go with people and not on your own.
In July 1994 after three years and completing his GCSEs there he left Stanbridge earls but has been back on the odd occasion since and has had happy memories of the place, though at the time he would describe himself as being miserable there. It was though whilst at Stanbridge Earls that he started his love affair with Southampton Football Club watching most of their home games in the 1993-94 season.
In season 1994-95 Jeremy Bole became a regular at Wimbledon Football club on a full time basis going to every home game in season 1995-96 the following season Wimbledon reached both the Coca Cola cup and FA Cup semi finals missing out on Wembley on both of the games loosing to Leicester City on away goals in the Coca Cola cup and Chelsea in the FA cup though the consolation for him was that both Leicester City and Chelsea won thier respective competions after knocking Wimbledon out in the semi finals.
Away from football after two years at Woking College he left in 1996 and joined Merrest wood college doing a years course to become a Greenkeeper however after failing the course he knew that Greenkeeping was not for him and after two years working for Little chef full time having joined part time in August 1996 going full time in Janruary 1998 before leaving in October 1999 to join South West Trains where he has been ever since in Horsley from 2000 to 2005 and Surbiton from 2005 to the present day. Whilst in Horsley he would regually announce peoples name over the tannoy system. He later admitted that it was immature and odd to do it.
Whilst Jeremy Bole still followed Wimbledon he always had a soft spot for Southampton but because of the Dell having such a small ground found it hard to get tickets at the Dell except for the odd away game and when Wimbledon played there and for a while from 1999 to 2001 he went to watch a lot of Chelsea but eventually when Southampton opened thier new stadium in August 2001 his interest in Chelsea wained.
In June 2002 it was announced that the football league had agreed let Wimbledon move from Selhurst Park thier home in South London where they had been playing since they moved from thier original home at Plough Lane in 1991 to Milton Keynes and at that point he decieded to support Southampton on a full time basis and has been going ever since regully. Dispite two relegations since august 2001 his love for the club remains as strong as ever.
As well as supporting football he has also been a keen cricket fan attending his first cricket match in 1992 day 3 of the 5th test between England and Pakistan at the Oval where David Gower played the last of his 117 test matches.
Since then he has been going regully to test matches in England his favorate moments being.
England bowling Australia all out for 118 on day one the first ashes test match at Edgebaston in 1997. England winning the ashes at the oval in 2005 England winning the ashes at the oval in 2009 England beating Australia at Trent Bridge in 2005 Twenty one wickets falling on day 2 of the Edgebaston test match between England and New Zealand in 1999.
He has been a member of Surrey County cricket club since 1993 and was a member of Hampshire County cricket club from 2001 to 2004.
He is also a keen rugby fan and supports Bath.
TRAVEL
It was whilst watching in 1989 the Micheal Palins around the world in 80 days series that Jeremy bole first took a love of travelling and since 2002 has been on a world tour of places.
During his youth he would regully go on family holidays the bole family went to Corfu, Greece, Spain, a few trips to France, Menorca and Turkey on holidays as well as regular visits to Salcome in Devon where his Grandfather lived
So having loved travelling sinced Micheal Palin went on around the world in 80 days his favorate places in the world have been Sydney, Hong Kong and Barcelona.
Travel has been a wonderful thing in his life. His finest travel moment was when he was on 4th November 2002 when he arrived in Australia for the first time having spent many a night dreaming about going to Australia. He spent some time in Brisbane watching England loose the first Ashes test of that series by 379 runs and some time in Sydney as the well the Goldcoast and Nussa Heads on Queenslands Sunshine coast the Salcome of Australia.
He returned a year later with his perents where he watched some cricket at the SCG the Sydney cricket Ground where Australia played Zimbabwe in a test match and watched the rugby world cup match between Ireland and Nanibia which Ireland won though he confesses to being so tired that he missed a lot of the game because he was dozing off all the time. He had only arrived in the country that morning after a 30 hour flight from London a flight which was like a cummuter train between London Waterloo and Southampton because it stopped at a few places on this occasion he boarded the Emirites flight to Dubai which called at Abbua Dhabi then after going to Dubai and stopping off there the flight called at Singapore before arriving in Sydney
In 2006 he returned to Brisbane for the first ashes test match of that series having some time in Sydney as well then making the trip down the road to New Zealand where he spent time in Christchurch and Auckland. At the time of writing he has no plans to return to Australia or New Zealand.
America is another favorate country of his he visits again in September 2010 but has spent time in America in New York, Los Angelies, San Fransisco, Boston, Washington & his favorate place Chicago.
As well as America he has extensively travelled in Asia, having visited Japan in 2007 Hong Kong in 2007 anf by mistake in 2008 as well as in China Beijing and Shanghai.
In March 2009 he visited India a country that changed his life because he felt he could not moan about his life anymore, he visited in six days Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Mumbai and it was in Mumbai that he saw povety at its worst.
He has also visited Egypt and has travelled around a lot of Europe. He lists Switzerland as his favorate country in Europe after Norway. "They are very nise countrys and the scenery is beautiful and the trains are good to but what puts me off is the cost they dont do cheap in Switzerland and Norway".
Since he got the travel bug he has spent time in Paris (many times), Nice, Monte carlo, St Tropez, Marsaille, Caan, Barcelona, Madrid, Sevile (the oven city) because at the start of the day it gets cool then gets hotter and hotter as the day goes on, Rome, Florence, Pisa, Venice, Milan, Lisbon, Zurich, Luzerne, Berne, Geneva, Vienna, Innsbrook, Budapest, Prague, Bratislava, Lugano, Cairo, Lisbon, Moscow, St Petersberg, Helsinki, Gothenberg, Stockholm, oslo, Copenhagen, Dublin, Reykavic and his least favorate city of all of them Amsterdam, a city he visited on a day trip in 2005 but it did not do anything for him.
He has also visited South Afirca but has no plans to go again.
AIRLINES Throughout his travl life he has flown many airlines though without wanting to bore the pants of readers as to name all the airlines he has flown throughout his travells, he lists Easyjet as one his favorates because its good and reliable and most dissapointing Iberia. Another favorate is Cathay Pacific
He also labels Flybe and the airline for small people because having flown twice with them in 2009 from Gatwick to Newquay and then Southampton to Edinburgh the planes where built for small people and not for a big man like him.
He lists around 30 airlines that he has flown with British Airways and Easyjet being the most travelled on airlines.
He has also travelled extensively in England as well with his love of the Saints thats taken him to Hartlepool on a Tuesday night in Novemver and but and large he enhoys going up tall bildings and seeing nise scenery. He lists Bath & The Isle of wight as his favorate places in the United kingdom
INTEREST IN CHURCH On Sunday 22nd May 2005 thanks to his friend Oliver Key he was introduced and joined St Johns church where on his debut he talked a lot a week after his Saints side said goodbye to the Premier league and have not yet returned.
Whilst he enjoyed many happy days there including doing the panto and Robin hood in 2007 he also did bible studys for a while and got Liz Gamlen, George Osborne and Amanda Fairless to come to football matches with him at another sort of church St Marys in Southampton the football ground thats called St Marys.
His favorate moment there was having his friend Liz Gamlen tell him off for texting people the score when he was watching the game with her. It was Southampton against Sheffeild United in May 2008 Saints won 3-2 and stayed up in the chamionship only to be relegated a year later.
He in his time at St Johns developed some strange habits including a lot of walking off from services and having his dinner during the service, however he learnt to stop doing after a while.
After four and a half years of being at St Johns and two ashes victories the first of which he prayed for at church the night before England triumphed at the Oval and won the ashes in 2005 however he admits that it was probably odd his habits which he has not done at his new church Christchurch.
It was in October 2009 that he first started going to Christchurch in Woking after doing the alpha course a course he did at St Johns with liz Gamlen in 2005 but admitted he didnt enjoy it but completed Alpha at Christchurch and decided to go full time there.
When asked why he left St Johns he would say that he needed to move on and go somewhere else but ultimately he had grown bored of the place and needed to be move on, however friends will continue he made a lot of them at St Johns.
"My favorate moment of St Johns was the rugby matches well going to them has been great fun and a laugh and i hope it will continue"
Ultimately though, he admits people were very forgiving towards him when he was nasty to them but as he points out, it's a lesson for Christchurch.
FOOD HABITS
Jeremy Bole has always been a fusspot eating only a small amount of things. He regually admits to having chocolate cake for breakfast, and loves Spaghetti bolognaise.
NICKNAMES He was given the nickname Jermozus at Stanbridge Earls which he hated and othernicknames have been Bolesbub and Lord Bole. When his nephew Oscar was born his name was Uncle Bignose.
OTHER INTERESTS Having failed his thoery driving test three times in 1997 Jeremy bole does not drive his car is his pushbike and he cycles everywhere. He has cycled on three occasions from his Guildford home to Brighton and once to Portsmouth.
He has by and large had spells of doing things and then he gets bored of them and stops doing them.
He is a keen reader but only reads autobiograhys and diarys, he lists Matthew Le Tissiers autobiography as the best autobiography he has ever read. "A legend at Southampton who in his book talks a lot of sense I dont think he could have imagined that Saints would be where they are now"
He has also enjoyed Jeffrey Archers prison dairys. It was in July 2001 that Jeffrey Archer was sent to four years in prison for purgery and he wrote three prison diarys.
"It was quite an interesting read to see how he got on there I dont read fiction the last time that I read a fiction book was Roald Dahl and that was more than twenty years ago"
He has also contributed to the Stanbridge Earls school magazine the voice and written for Wimbledon Football clubs programme in his last season there.
Since 1st Janruary 2001 he has been keeping a log of his lfe in a diary his sister kept a couple of diarys when sahe was in her teens he has written a page for every day of his life since 1st Janruary 2001.
They are to him a sort of relexation and bordom on journeys away, though there have been moments of madness on them. His 2006 diary went walkabout in New Zealand for two days after he left it on a bus in Christchurch thankfully a years work was returned to its rightful owner whilst last year he was questioned by an air steward about his work to and from a flight to India.
Whilst he suffers from asbergers syndrome his memory is imense. At Hoebridge school when he was a border in his final year people would come up to him and ask him what was for dinner that night, and people will regually approach him to ask him what day of the week thier birthdays are.
"I dont need a diary its all in the head but I am very lucky. I can remember on certain days at random where I was what I was going a memory what football matches he has been to and every cricket match as well"
FAMILY LIFE Jeremy Bole comes from a small family his sister his five years older than her and whilst his father was an only child his late mother has a sister and a brother who passed away when she was 9 he died at 15.
Ultimately though he labels the most happiest moments of his life has been family affairs, his sisters wedding in November 2004 her and his bis brother in law Greg Smith who he would regard as one of his closest friends got married on a Friday so he could watch Saints play on the Saturday. A day after Kirsty Bole and Greg Smith where married at Loselly house in Godalming Surrey Southampton beat Portsmouth 2-1.
On 22nd September 2005 his nephew Oscar was born and he fell in love him from the moment he saw him as a day old baby at the Royal Surrey hospital in Guildford, and around friends for a while he could not stop talking about him.
"It was because I was a proud Unlce but it was odd because on 17th May 2007 when my nice Esme was born I hardly mentioned her of course I love them both dearly they are very funny and that age where they talk a lot"
His hopes for them are that they if they like rugby support Bath like thier uncle and not Harlequins like thier dad.
