This was and still is hilarious! I couldn't resist putting it into this list.

16/12/2012: First mention of conflict between ArwaChihuahua and Wicks

02/12/2012: Memorable moment - The Boccia Debate is settled
It's been funny compiling this list and seeing that the Boccia Debate actually only lasted for 2-3 weeks but, at the time, it felt like the longest-running argument ever! I guess we'd always bring it up even after it was 'settled'.

Memorable moment - First mention of the Boccia Debate

07/11/2012: First mention of ConscienceSarah and DisneyLoverMolly

30/09/2012: New segment - Weekly News Round-Up
Who'd have thought that this would end up being our most popular segment! I often read some of the earlier stuff back and still find typos, but it's still fun. Certain events never get old for me and I find myself having a little chuckle still.

23/09/2012: Turning point - First mention of WNR

06/02/2012: Wicks' first official appearance

2011

25/12/2011: First mention of Wicks
Even though Simon Wicks joined the Academy in September, it took a little while for us to work her into the blog. I remember being unsure for the longest time whether she liked the name 'Wicks' or not.

16/12/2011: The beginning of the Squares tradition

04/11/2011: Turning point - It appears that Master discovered the 'schedule' function

23/06/2011: First mention of Quote Week

09/05/2011: New segment - MouseMouseMonday post

I guess this was the time I got a little obsessed with the gadgets that were available.

2010

First mention of ShoeLobber
First mention of The Beckster
New segment - 12 Days of Christmas

03/12/2010: The Appalling One's first appearance
Who'd have thought The Appalling One was involved so early on!

02/12/2010: First mention of Ruby
It only makes sense that the person who inspired me to start this blog should be the first one mentioned.

01/12/2010:
New segment - Christmas Corner
New segment - Quote Advent Calendar
I really have no idea how we kept track of all these quotes. This was back in the days when things weren't so well organised.

18/11/2010: ANT's first drawing for the Blog
Surely this goes to show that ANT has been on this rollercoaster ride of a journey all the way from the beginning. I don't remember ever asking her to draw this, but I guess it was just her variation of the original Gerbil logo. I still like to put this up every year when Children In Need is on.

17/11/2010: First Random Pic
It's not called a random pic for nothing. I think I just plucked this picture of the web, or maybe it was a screenshot from a YouTube video? My bet is on the latter.

04/11/2010: First post
I still remember writing that first post. It was a big mix of excitement, not knowing what to say and realising it didn't matter very much since hardly anyone would ever read it!
