Of Christmas

By Jamie • Dec 12th, 2008 • Category: Articles

So, it’s that time of year: chestnuts are roasting on merry gentleman and people are rocking around the jingle bells. But what is Christmas?
Christmas is wrongly perceived to be the celebration of a Jew - born to a virgin, in a stable - during a very busy tourist season (modern scholars believe mid-June), about 2000 [...]



How Jamie Pulls All Nighters

By Jamie • Dec 8th, 2008 • Category: Articles

Well… I’ve done it again. For what I think is the 6th time in the past 8 weeks, I have been up all night programming, designing and generally working on my final year project. Not that this wasn’t all fun…
So, let’s see.
23:48 - I start work.
01:57 - About two hours later. I have written 4,000 [...]



Jame Goes Healthy: The Toyota Call

By Jamie • Nov 19th, 2008 • Category: Articles

We are into Day Three. I have accidentally fallen asleep twice already, and am still quite tired. So far, the regime is not working!
And then this morning, I got a phone call that brightened my day.
Picture the scene: I am lying in bed watching Friends when ‘London Bridge’ starts playing. Knowing that my phone is [...]



Jamie Goes Healthy: Day 1

By Jamie • Nov 18th, 2008 • Category: Articles

I’m tired….very, very tired. Polyphasic sleep sucks. I have had approximately 5 hours’ sleep in the last 30 hours, and that includes the part when I accidentally feel asleep this afternoon.
The diet is going well - sort of. I had to resort to some cheap carbs at 3 a.m. this morning due to there being [...]



Jamie Goes Healthy!

By Jamie • Nov 17th, 2008 • Category: Articles

Shows such as Dawn Gets Naked and Dawn Goes Lesbian seem to capture the public interest. Z-List celebrities trying alternative lifestyles in a distasteful and ignorant manner. Unfortunately, The All Nighter had a little think some time ago and concluded that Jamie Goes Lesbian was not within our budget and time constraints.
However, I have been [...]



The “We’re Really, Really Sorry” Post

By Jamie • Nov 16th, 2008 • Category: Articles

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to apologise for the complete lack of any visible articles recently. And I thought you deserved an explanation:

James - This main contributor has been off with his head in the clouds - feverish clouds, that is. He’s been coughing and sneezing and moaning and then drinking… a dangerous cycle. He should [...]



Things I Don’t Get

By Jamie • Oct 16th, 2008 • Category: Articles

Continuing the trend of reusing old jokes, I welcome you to another ground-breaking series from The All Nighter. Things I Don’t Get takes a look at society and focuses on behaviors, fashions, people and Canadians that I deem “What The Fuck?”. Today’s item: Apple
Apple. Apple Apple Apple. I can’t stand Apple. Well, not so much [...]



Seven Places You Should Wake Up In Before You Die

By Jamie • Oct 3rd, 2008 • Category: Articles

In the life of a student, there comes a time when you must put aside the taxi ride home and brave the long walk. At these times, it is permissible that some strange and wonderful things happen which often end up with you waking up somewhere that is not your bed. I, being quite the [...]



My Type

By Jamie • Sep 14th, 2008 • Category: Articles

Girls…they are a funny breed. I would like to take a moment to discuss my type with you.
There have been several (drunken) nights (/mornings) where the topic has come up, but up until now I don’t think I have ever given a coherent answer. Following is a description of my type (punctuated with experiences of [...]



The 3 Second Rule

By Jamie • Sep 8th, 2008 • Category: Articles

For those of you just joining university I would like to offer this piece of advice. The 3 second rule is the fundamental principle of the modern ages. It can override health inspection laws, seating reservations and even bros before hoes
So what is this 3 second rule. At it’s most basic it is a measurement [...]
