TAMIYA Mitsubishi Pajero Metaltop Wide
May 17th
It only dawned on me recently that, while I’ve been posting stories about my remote control helicopters, I already had a remote control vehicle which I’d owned for years and not mentioned at all.
The vehicle in question is the TAMIYA Mitsubishi Pajero Metaltop Wide – a radio controlled car I bought many years ago. In fact, I still have the box it came in, and everything else I bought at the time – plus the receipt! It cost £159.99 and I bought it on 6th March 1995.
My Phil Collins tie
Apr 28th
I’ve been meaning to post something about this for a while, but kept on forgetting about it!
During my late teens to mid thirties, I was a big fan of Phil Collins and Genesis. Yeah, I know it’s not ‘cool’ to like Phil Collins, but I was never interested in being cool anyway, so I don’t care!
Anyway, first a little background. From my early to late teens, I was in and out of Great Ormond Street Hospital for a series of operations on my lower back. The first operation at age 13 left me with a hole in my back, about the size of a large chicken’s egg and about two inches deep, at the top of which you could apparently see the base of my spine. Due to the nature of the operation, doctors felt it best to let the hole close naturally. It was a very slow process, and because I could barely sit, lots of time off school followed – years, literally.

Why I won’t miss GAME
Mar 21st
Whatever anyone else may say, for me, the problem with Game is that they never competed on price. Even on their website, you paid full RRP or you went elsewhere. And with the economic situation getting worse, even previous Game loyalists – myself included – decided to go elsewhere.
PS Vita Wallpapers

After reading the Vita Customisation thread on the Official PlayStation Community forums, I decided to have a go at creating some Vita wallpapers of my own.
