All good things...
This is the end... (bum bum bum) bee-u-teee-ful friend... the end...
In case you haven't noticed, there has been very little in the way of blog posts or articles or anything on this page for that matter.
This is because I no longer exist here. You need to come find me on my new and improved blog, robcutforth.com
There, you will find the usual Leftlion ( Read more... ) -
Why you should watch the Winter Olympics
If there is anything we can learn about this winter it’s that British people and snow do not mix. I’ve written extensively about the British attitude toward a couple inches of snow (aka a British Blizzard), so I won’t bore you to death with all that again.
I will, however, try to convince you, The Great British Public™, to watch the Winter Olympics ( Read more... ) -
More house shit
An honest contractor, an honest contractor, my fucking kingdom for an honest contractor.
Lord, I am tired of things going wrong with the house. I can’t remember if I mentioned in the latest edition of "How Rob’s house has kicked his ass Weekly" the fact that our house was damp as fuck. I mentioned it in my last column briefly, but I didn’t really ( Read more... ) -

That's a wicked googly!
I’m becoming the thing that I used to most hate.
I used to rant on incessantly about Canadians I would meet who would say things like "quid" and "mate" and even "taking the piss out of" after only living in England for a few years. Sad Anglophiles who actually say they like England. Last week I said "Blimey". BLIMEY! I can’t really believe it ( Read more... ) -
Jazz festival and picking a Manchester footy side
Can you believe I’ve been in Manchester now for nine months?! God damn time flies.
Quite a lot has happened in that time, but I haven’t done a lot in the city itself as I’ve been away on and off for most of it. The Manchester Festival was in town and apparently it was cool, but I went to France and missed the whole thing. Luckily I was back just ( Read more... )
