Hi all. I hope everyone reading this is well. Here at A Rob Blog, I like to tackle the really important issues that the world faces in these crazy times. I don’t shy away from difficult subjects or controversial topics. And today is no different. My area of discussion for today: what the hell isContinue reading “Cue the Arguments”

Hi all. I hope you’re all doing well. I ran into some technical difficulty with my phone recently. Not particularly interesting, perhaps. But, it was the first time I’ve ever had a serious issue with a phone, and it was also, therefore, the first time I had to deal with phone repair. I thought I’dContinue reading “Fresh Prince of Repair”

Hi all. I hope you’ve all been well. Sorry for keeping you all waiting. But, you see, today’s subject is all about waiting. Like a server who gives out complimentary snacks and brings you your bill without having to be asked, I’m a good waiter. Leaving the messy analogy there, what I mean is that,Continue reading “Wait of the World”

Hi all. Welcome to my first blog of 2025. I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year. And if you made any New Year’s resolutions, I hope these haven’t fallen by the wayside already. I’m not really a New Year’s resolution type guy myself. I just think that if you want toContinue reading “Top ’til You Pop”

Hi all. It’s been an age since my last post, so I hope you’ve all been keeping well. There isn’t any one particular reason why it’s been so long. I’ve been somewhat busy, but not much more than usual. It would be hyperbole to say that I’ve been suffering from writer’s block, but I’ve certainlyContinue reading “About Bloody Time”

Hi all. Unless you’ve been living under a rock recently, you’ll be well aware of the awful scenes we’ve been seeing in the UK. There are various opinions on why this has been happening and who is to blame. I don’t like telling people what they should think, but I don’t think it’s possible toContinue reading “The Far Right Problem”

Hi all. I hope you’re keeping well. Today, I will be combining two topics that I don’t believe have ever been conflated before. So, this will either be really good or really bad. Let’s hope for the former. I’m going to be talking about British politics and The Lord of the Rings. So, if you’reContinue reading “You Shall Not Pass… the Post”

Howdy y’all. I hope you’re all doing well. I’m at my office desk as I type this (during my lunch break!). And it occurs to me: I’ve basically spent the last 15 years working in an office. Not the same building for all that time, and not even for the same company. But, in anContinue reading “It’s Office Y’all”

Hi all. I hope you’re all doing well. I wanted to start today with an idiom I’m sure you’ve all heard before: sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. On the face of it, it’s a nice turn of phrase, which has a worthwhile message behind it. Essentially, don’tContinue reading “The Power of Words”

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”
