Isle Trotting
This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

The SJT, and The Beauty of Bread
Today, I will be taking one of the most important exams of my life so far. That is no exaggeration. The Foundation Programme Situational Judgement Test (SJT) is a two hour and twenty minute, 70 question paper testing the candidate’s judgement in a variety of clinical scenarios. I’m not going to go into detail about…

Ordinary Retro Gamer: Tom and Jerry, Timon and Pumbaa, Toy Story, and Rambo III
Most of my gaming has been of the retro variety recently, revisiting some of the classics from the 80’s and 90’s, and some not so classics. Some of these games I had encountered before, and others I stumbled across by chance. Here are a few short reviews of games I’ve been playing. Tom and Jerry…
