Hi all. I hope you’re all well. As regular readers will know (if they scroll all the way to the bottom of each post!), I do a ‘Rob Recommends’ feature, where I do mini reviews of recent films or TV shows I’ve seen. Today’s blog will be an extended version of that, but instead ofContinue reading “Rob Tech-omends”

Hi all. Just a short blog for you today, on the subject of how to split a bill. A seemingly simple task that invariably ends up being a lot more complex than could have been imagined. I’ll warn you now, I offer no solutions in the below; it’s simply an opportunity for me to moanContinue reading “Bill-Gate”

Hi all. I hope you’re all good, ladies. And I hope you’re all good, fellas. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be retired. Everything about it seems like it would suit me. I’m not someone who gets bored easily, and having time on my hands is something I really enjoy (notContinue reading “Retirement Fun”

Hi all. I hope you’re all well. We recently celebrated Bonfire Night/Firework Night/Guy Fawkes Day here in the UK. Yes, this day does get referred to by all of the above names (and possibly others), depending on who you speak to. It got me thinking about how opposed I am to fireworks. And also howContinue reading “The Great Firework Debate”

Hi everyone. Like I imagine many of you who are reading this felt, I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Matthew Perry recently. I wanted to do something to pay tribute to him, and though a personal blog post with a tiny readership is about as small a tribute as you canContinue reading “For Matt”

Hi all. Welcome back to A Rob Blog. Upon posting my last blog, I was pleasantly surprised when I received a notification to say it was my 50th blog post. It’s not the sort of thing I keep track of, so it was a bit of a shock. A nice shock, but a shock nonetheless.Continue reading “The Patriot”

Hi all. Today, I’ll be talking about work/life balance and how my attitude towards this has shifted as I’ve gotten older. Here’s hoping that prospective future employers won’t read this too closely… Let’s begin. I suppose the concept of a work/life balance has always existed (from as long as there have been jobs anyway). InContinue reading “All Work and No Play”

Hi all. I hope you’re all well. Today’s blog will be quite serious in nature, as I look into the difference between being found ‘not guilty’ and being innocent. I will also talk about the nuances around the law and morals. Trigger warning: I will be talking about rape at various points. Nothing graphic atContinue reading “Not Guilty”

What it is, good people? Boogie on down to my blog about the afro. Can you dig it? Any of you jive-turkeys that ain’t picking up what I’m putting down, get to steppin’! Ok, I think we’ll leave the 70s slang there. One thing I haven’t left in the 70s is the afro, a hairstyleContinue reading “That 70s Fro”

Hi all. If you’re reading this, chances are you’re utilising the power of the Internet. I suppose it’s possible that people loved this blog so much that they printed off a load of hard copies and stuck them up in town centres and pubs so that the masses could enjoy… but let’s be realistic. I’veContinue reading “What a Scammy Man”
