Midterm

Well, if you cast your eyes up to my tagline, you’ll learn that I have naught but two days left until my mid/half term. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I’ll be free from this Friday until Monday the 23rd. I’ll be catching up on much needed sleep and drumming time. Not to mention giving this blog [...]

Where to live?

So, anyone else remember the Australian dude who sold his ‘life’ on eBay a few months back? OK, not life, but sort of. He still is Ian Usher, obviously, but he sold his house and all its contents, car and a motorcycle, a jet ski, skydiving gear, an introduction to friends and a trial period [...]

Chocolate Covered Immigrants

Found this via The Limerick Blogger Forum when I was looking for a post. Fifteen suspected illegal immigrants were found covered in cocoa powder in the back of a lorry when it arrived at a Mars factory, police say. Officers were called to the site in Slough, Berkshire, after staff discovered the stowaways in the [...]

What makes people happy?

Building on my Happiness post from last November, I was wondering what makes people happy. * My mum often comments that I am rarely ‘down in the dumps’, to use her phrasing. I often wonder why this is. I mean, why am I happier then the Joe Soap next door? Our lives can’t be that [...]

Friday Question

Ladies and Gentlemen, what is this: If you said ‘apple crumble’, and this was an exam, you would have scored a B. If you had said ‘apple crumble with chocolate squares cunningly hidden in the crumble itself’ you’d have got your full marks. Yes, members of the jury blog community, it seems that the earlier [...]

Walking in a Winter Wonderland..

In February?! *sigh* Only in Ireland! So I was in Dublin today and as we were leaving Dad’s phone rang. He pulled over to answer it and I took the opportunity to hop out and snap some pictures of the snow! My footsteps leaving the car More footsteps.. :P A snow covered hillock in the [...]

Meanie!

Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t brothers meant to support you in your new year’s resolution? Yeah, I thought so too. Either I’m wrong, or my brother just goes against the grain. Send your answers on a postcard. Now, you may or may not know that I decided to not eat any chocolate [...]

A favour

Now, I don’t ask much of you, as readers, to do much. I’m happy with you doing just that. OK, that’s grand, but I do have a small favour to ask of you. No, I’m not looking for money. *cue lots of “phew!”s* I want you, in a comment, to tell me what your favourite [...]

Skydiving

Warning: Random post * I wanna go skydiving one day. Reading about this 94 year old who went skydiving makes me feel that we should all do it. I’d love to. I’d be scared, of course, who wouldn’t. But it’d be that scared feeling you get before it’s your turn to speak in a debate [...]

Cryptic tagline

Today’s tagline may be slightly cryptic, but then again, maybe I shouldn’t use private jokes as taglines. It refers to me leaving the light of my bedroom on after my cousin and I checking something in my room. I left my light on cos I thought I might be up again. That, and the fact [...]
