Hello all. Sorry I haven’t blogged for a while, it’s been a busy time. You’ll have to excuse me if my writing is a bit rusty. If it pleases you, today I’ll be speaking about manners. Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy. Manners are important to me. I’ve been thinking about them aContinue reading “Polite Reading”

Hey friends. Today I’m going to speak about Friends. Not my friends, but the TV show Friends. You see, Friends is a show that is never not on. Not only is it available in its entirety on Netflix (I think), it is on one of the Comedy Central channels in the UK 24 hours aContinue reading “The One With the Blog”

Hi all, so glad we can hang out again. Be warned, this blog may shock you. If I were hired to write this blog, I’d probably be on my way to a firing, squad. And for those of you wondering, I’m not shouting the word “Punishment” in the title, it’s simply capital punishment… which, coincidentally,Continue reading “PUNISHMENT”

Hello everyone. Only one real place to start this week, and that is with the sad news of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II recently. To say she served this country impeccably is an understatement. She was a true leader and she evolved over her many decades on the throne. We will quite literally neverContinue reading “The Beautiful Game Update”

Hi friends. I hope you’re all well. I’ve been thinking a lot about DVDs lately. And not unlike Austin Powers talking to an un-killable villain, I’ve been asking, “Why won’t you die?”. Given that ‘superior’ products have been available for quite some time now, why does the DVD format cling to life? I explore thisContinue reading “Disc-ussion”

Welcome to A Rob Blog, home of the Rob Blog, can I take your order? If you don’t recognise this bastardised opening sentence, you’ve obviously never seen the film Good Burger (or maybe you’ve just suppressed it?). For children of the 90s like myself, Good Burger was an absolute must-see. Quick sidebar: do you haveContinue reading “The McRob is Back”

Hi, everybody (hi, Dr Nick!). I hope you’re keeping well and enjoying the weather. Not much new with me really. Same old, same old. The year does seem to be flying past though! Can’t believe we’re over halfway through already. My little girl starts primary school in September. Mad. They really do grow up soContinue reading “Glucose for Comfort”

Hi all. For those who read my last blog post, you’ll know that I’ve recently been on holiday, hence the slight gap between posts. For my first post since returning, I thought I’d recount my time abroad. It was our first proper holiday as a family and it was an experience. Making up the travellingContinue reading “Diary of a Zante Kid”

A solemn hello to you all. It is time. Time for me to confess something that I’ve been ashamed of for quite some time now. There’s no easy way for me to say this: I’m an Amazon shopper! This won’t be easy to write, so I’d better get on with it before I lose myContinue reading “My Hidden Shame”
