  January A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. This is a timeless classic about a scrooge who hates Christmas, who in the end after meeting a few ghosts has a new found love for life and for Christmas. Faith: In search of Greater Glory in Sport by Gerard Gallagher  This book is very well written. I could feel the topic of religion is very important on these peoples lives. Even the people who don't consider themselves religious, I felt were thinking some bit about religion. I did feel it focused a bit too much on people who played GAA sports. I suppose it's OK given that GAA is our national sports but not everyone in Ireland is into GAA. I suppose I felt it could have been more evenly spread out among all the sports mentioned. It was a very good read nonetheless.   February The House of my mother by Shari Franke.  8 passengers was a YouTube channel I watched around 2018 to 2020 or thereabout. Little did I know what was going on behind the smiles for the camera and se...

Since Christmas is around the corner and we are currently in Advent I have started reading Christmas books. Here are some of the Christmas books I have read, am currently reading and hope to read this year. I also have one book I had to stop reading: A book I stopped reading: I did read All I want for Christmas about half way but I stopped because I felt it was too racy for my liking in parts. This book is by various Irish female Artists.  Book I have read: I finished reading Letters from Father Christmas by J.R.R. Tolkien and Baillie Tolkien. I felt it was a   great read. I read this on an old kindle. It contained images of the actual letters in written format along with the print format. I found that he images on the book that I found hard to read on the kindle I have so I will probably get this book in print format for a better experience. I'd say it would be easier to read on newer kindles. I love the letters that Tolkien gives to his children from Father Christmas. T...

Power Rangers Zeo was a programme I watched as a child. My brother liked it more than I did growing up as it was a programme geared more toward boys at the time. As an adult I rewatch it many times and I really enjoy it. I don't like it as much as MMPR though. My favourite characters would have to be Tommy and Katherine much for the same reasons as I liked Tommy and Kimberly in MMPR. the vehicles that the Power Rangers used in this season were the: Zeo Jet cycles.  They were very similar to the shark cycles from MMPR I did a post on the shark cycles and other vehicles from MMPR which can be viewed here . The Jet Cycles were owned as follows:  Pink (Katherine) had the Zeo Jet Cycle I Yellow (Tanya) had the Zeo Jet Cycle II Blue (Rocky) had the Zeo Jet Cycle III Green (Adam) had the Zeo Jet Cycle IV Red (Tommy) had the Zeo Jet Cycle V The designs were unique to each Power Ranger. They were created by Billy and Alpha 5. Billy was the Blue Ranger in MMPR but handed over ...

MMPR was a programme I watched as a child. My brother liked it more than I did growing up as it was a programme geared more toward boys at the time. As an adult I rewatch it many times and I really enjoy it. My favourite characters would have to be Tommy, Kimberly and Alpha 5. I will take this time before talking about the vehicles in the series to remember Thuy Trang R.I.P who played the yellow MMPR who died on September the 3rd 2001 at the age of 27 in a car accident  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thuy_Trang#Death  Now back to the cars in MMPR The RadBug: Radbug stands for Remote Activated Drivingzord for Basic Ultra Geomorphology wow that is a mouth-full. It was a volkswagon Beetle with large canisters and exhaust on it and it was built by Billy Cranston who was the Blue MMPR. It was used because the green ranger who was Tommy was at that stage evil and destroyed the rangers teleportation systems along with other controls in the command centre. The command centre was a plac...

Here is a list of some of the cars that appeared on the Waltons  John Walton had a 1928 Model AA Ford 1 and a half ton pickup truck John-boy had a 1929/30 Ford Model A Coupe Jim-Bob had a 1926 Ford Model T This one could be the one he built himself Curt had a 1932 Ford Model B Sedan Delivery The Walton's family car in later seasons was a 1941 Plymouth Woody Station Wagon The Baldwin sisters could have had a 1925 Studebaker Cindy had a 1939/40 Ford convertible I couldn't find what make car Ep Bridges had and the website I saw wasn't sure about the Baldwin sisters car. My favourite of these cars would have to be Cindy's car because red is my favourite colour especially in a car. Fact about John Walton's truck. Sometimes it would not run so they would have to put a rope around the front bumper and some of the crew men would pull the truck into or out of the shot. Most of the vehicles were hard to steer. I found out about this fact on Judy Norton's (Mary Ellen) yout...

KITT had many variations throughout the Knight Rider series. The original KITT was a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am. It was a 2 door coupe with front engine and back-wheel drive. It was fitted with customised after burners and had a turbo jet. KITT could go from 0-60 mph in 2 seconds. 20 cars were purchased for the show. Many of them were destroyed after the show. 5 still remain and the original is now stored away and is occasionally brought to conventions. The name KITT stands for Knight industries 2000 but who says that. I didn't know that until today. We all just know it as KITT. KITT was voiced by William Daniels which 90's kids would know as Mr Feeny from Boy meets world. So what other things could KITT do besides the obvious Turbo boost and seat ejection Molecular shell to protect itself during explosions Heat resistant with the use of Pyroclastic lamination The control of other machines using the Electronic Jamming system Flame throwers, tear gas and flares Silent mode  Shock res...

Not a lot of people know this but one of my hobbies is cars. When I was a child I would read a lot of books from the library about cars, that and books about dogs too. I would tell my mother innocently one day I will own that car garage (not knowing then about money. I just knew I loved the cars). When my father would buy a new car or get his car serviced I generally always went with him to see all the different cars in the shop. I loved the smell of new cars. When dad would buy a new car I remember as a child I would be always fidgeting around the car trying to find all the new stuff that the old car wouldn't have while dad was driving (safely though I always had my seatbelt on lol). I generally knew a lot about the car by the time my father would have driven us home which was at most a 45 minute drive. As I became an adult the interest started fading unfortunately due to different circumstances but I am still interested in cars and I want to rekindle my interest I had in cars. I ...

Houston I have a problem. I have too many books in my bookcase and in my kindle library. To see what books I have in my bookcase and kindle click the links as I have done 2 blog posts on that. Back to the reason you're here, I have many books on my shelf and kindle that I don’t seem to get around to reading to often. I wouldn’t call myself an addict to buying books but I’m a sucker for asking my mother for books she has or is finished with that look like good reads and then they end up in the bookcase and never get read because I always ask and she nearly always says yes. I did start reading one of the books my mother gave me recently, this morning and I do read every night but I need to challenge myself to read the books I currently have. I would never get into debt buying books or anything and I don’t buy books a lot at all. When buying books I usually get them second hand for less than €1 but I do have a bit of a problem asking my mother for books and she would give them to me...

I have the Amazon Kindle 4th generation and I also have the app which to be honest I don't like as much as the Kindle. My kindle is about 10 years old. I got it as a gift in 2013 but I think it was released in 2011. I love my kindle and the battery life is still great. It lasts for weeks on a single charge. It is an old kindle so it only has a very basic internet wifi connection where I can go to the amazon store and buy and download books which to be honest all I want it for is to be able to download books I would not be able to get locally in a book shop. If I had to choose between paper back books and kindle devices, I would choose the paper back as there is nothing like holding a book and reading it but I do like using the kindle as a different means of reading. So here is what is on my Kindle. The diary of a country priest by Georges Bernanos (currently reading) Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban by J.K. Rowling (currently reading) Tears in the rain by Rosa Montero T...
