Nokia 5310: Relooked at

So, I did a YouTube review of my Nokia 5310, which I bought for €129 from Meteor, complete with 2 GB memory card + battery powered speakers. (The latter is somewhere in my room, I’m just sort of unsure where :-[) I bought the Nokia after my 1st generation iPhone was stolen out of a [...]

Karting!!

John, Dad and a number of others went karting yesterday, and loved it so much, decided to go again, this time bringing me. So, we’d booked a slot for around 1 and rounded up 7 others to go with us. We arrived in good time. This was the first time I’d ever been tall enough [...]

Flickr Fail

To begin, I know lots of not-particularly-technical people read this, so I’ll take it slow. Flickr is a picture sharing site. You can upload images from your computer and they’re stored remotely on a server. You can then log in from any computer and view/download them. In the case of this blog however, I simply [...]

Coolest t-shirt ever!

OK, Mulley may have his cool tshirt of his own, but now I have one (a cool t-shirt) too. Got it as a present from my cousins. Epic, epic, epic win! Based on this: Weirdness defined. So, I shall no longer be known as Tommy. My new name, nay, title, is… THE BANANA KING!

New Blogroll

Got my new blogroll done! ==> Wow. Didn’t know I followed so many blogs! That is quite a lot of people. That’s at least 30 people more on there now then before. Have I forgotten you? Send me a comment/email/whatever and I’ll gladly link to you. ————>>

Slow News Day

OK, it’s St. Stephen’s Day, (Boxing Day for all you non-Irish out there) and everyone here is recuperating. We, (The Collison Family), eat more chocolate between 15 December – 10 January then the rest of the year combined. My mum just walked by and saw I was writing a post. “I haven’t eaten any!” she [...]

Award

There are some chess grandmasters who, instead of playing in grand nationals or whatever, purely go to these small competitions run by amateurs and wipe the floor with them, earning €250 each weekend. My family is now somewhat like this. Every member of our family now has a blog, since Mum started up her blog [...]

Mum: Blog

Lily’s Blog My mummy now blogs. I inherited certain genes/characteristics from her, and look what she got from me. I mightn’t have been the first blogger, but I am the one she reads most. John doesn’t update often enough and Mum had this to say on Patrick’s blog. “I want Patrick to A) to blog [...]

Presents Awards

EDIT ~ Almost forgot! Best present ever. Thanks in no small part to the reception her comment on my Selection Box got, Mum has started a blog, and even has written a post!! It’s currently nestled in the bowels of John’s server but as soon as I get a link to it I’ll post it [...]

Twas the night before christmas…

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS by Clement Clarke Moore or Henry Livingston ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in [...]
