Hi all. I hope you’re all well. I myself am a little peeved. Why? It’s all to do with Bob Marley, pronunciation, and a certain former South African president. What, that wasn’t enough of an explanation? Fine, I’ll explain properly below. Enjoy! Firstly, allow me to explain about a phenomenon known as the Mandela Effect.Continue reading “A Mandela Ting”

Hello everyone. I hope you’re all well and enjoying the sunshine In Summer. As the weather has been so nice recently, it is perhaps an inappropriate time to write about the film Frozen. But that’s what I’ve done! Enjoy. My daughter is nearly five years old. If my calculations are correct, this means I haveContinue reading “I Won’t Let it Go”

Hi all. I hope you’re all well. I recently turned 35. Getting older isn’t something that bothers me. Not yet anyway; who knows how I’ll feel about it in the future? For some people, though, ageing (and, perhaps worse than that, looking ‘old’) is a scary prospect. I explore this below. Enjoy. Do y’all rememberContinue reading “The Age Old Problem”

Lights. Camera. Action! Hello all, and welcome back to A Rob Blog. Today, I’ll be talking about films. Specifically, I’ll be looking at the reasons why I rarely watch them anymore. Grab the popcorn and enjoy! I used to consider myself a bit of a film buff. Battleship Potemkin, The Gunfighter, A Matter of LifeContinue reading “No Time to Try”

Hey, dudes! And dudettes. Was the opening sentence at all clear that I was doing a play on The Beatles song Hey Jude? My suspicion is that it doesn’t really translate as well in written form. I suppose I could have prefaced the opening with, “Imagine this is being sung by Paul McCartney:”, but IContinue reading “Music & Me”

Salutations one and all. Welcome to another edition of A Rob Blog. Today, I’ll be talking about alcohol consumption, particularly as it relates to the UK. I hope you enjoy (responsibly). There is undoubtedly a drinking culture in the UK. Us Brits seem to have a unique relationship with alcohol. Now, this isn’t to sayContinue reading “I Drink, Therefore I Am”

Hi all. It’s been a very long time! There are a couple of reasons for this. Firstly, I’ve just generally been quite busy, so I haven’t had as much time for writing. The second reason is due to me doing something that I’ve never done since I started writing this blog. I was halfway throughContinue reading “Trust the Protest”

Hello, you stylish, elegant readers. I hope you’re all fabulous. This week, I’ll be talking about a subject that I am ill-equipped to discuss: fashion. Enjoy. I love a wedding. Is it because I’m a hopeless romantic? No. Is it because of the free booze on offer? Partly. But the main reason I love weddingsContinue reading “Fashion Weak”

Hello everybody, and happy new year! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas break, and I hope 2023 brings you everything that you wish for. For my first blog of the year, I’ll be talking about what you can do when a piece of art that you love has been created by someone whoContinue reading “Art Attack”

Hi all. Long time no speak. Or I suppose “long time no write” is probably more accurate. It’s been a little while since my last post. I hope you’ve all been keeping well. Today I’m going to talk about racism. Now, this is something that I’ve written about before, whether it was my thoughts onContinue reading “Micro, if you please…”
