Right, boycotting doing any shopping with either parent until at least the 20th of February. I was innocently in the yoghurt section looking for natural yoghurt when my senses were accosted by this: Jaysus. I don’t know who’s worse. On the one hand, you have John and Patrick replacing my toothpaste with chocolate (true story!!) [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

When Damien broke his iPhone, he went to FM Mobiles in Camden Street and they fixed [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Before I continue with today’s post, I regret to announce that we haven’t had a flake of snow today. Boo :( * I hurted myself today. :( There was an announcement on the intercom this morning during Geography. “Would the 1st Year Business Studies class for period 3 please go to the senior GPA*, thank [...]
Tommy Collison at the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition from Alexia Golez on Vimeo. * The ever-awesome Alexia did an interview with me at the Young Scientist, just before the award ceremony. I’m telling you, she should work with RTE. John always called me ‘a little politician’. Lex! Let us combine our talents and [...]
