A blockbuster arrives

The reviews for the movie Dunkirk which is released in Britain this Friday (21st July) – written, co-produced and directed by Christopher Nolan – are currently cascading across the newspaper pages, television and radio outlets and all across social media presumably to the delight of all [...]

Self-awareness may be a good thing

It’s been a while since I last posted and, if I’m being totally honest, part of the reason for my lack of activity is that I’ve fallen victim to a feeling that I’ve been rendered redundant by events. When joining the Rust staff and seeking to ‘find my own voice’ in order to make a [...]

What’s a girl to do?

Today I make no apology for addressing ‘Women and Sport’ arena, one of the recurring themes on the Sports pages of the Rust, at a point during the summer season when there is a great deal of elite men and women’s sport going on. We have just witnessed a Wimbledon tournament at which the hand [...]

A celebration for a centurion

Yesterday I was honoured to celebrate in the country the 100th birthday of the matriarch of a family I know well. Her grandson had prepared a photographic celebration of her life as well as a time line of world events from 1917 which took place in her lifetime. It was the first time I have attended [...]

Shurely not?

Over the last couple of years, I have to confess, I’ve grown a slight liking for sushi food. Before that I’d heard of it from time to time – in the 1980s my brother worked in Japan for a couple of years and developed a taste for it – but the thought of eating raw food had always rather put [...]

A plague upon them all!

Holding, as I do, a life-long aversion to exercise I have never understood the supposed benefits of travelling anywhere by bicycle. In fact I’d go further than that and mention that I hate all forms of two-wheeled transport and am totally resistant to the arguments put about in the PC-brigade’s [...]

They’re coming, so embrace them or miss out …

Here are two more recommended reads for Rust adherents on the general subject of the future of global sport, not that many of our demographic (including me) will know a great deal about the never-ending array of technological developments being readily embraced by the generations following ours!

What’s real and what is not

Several years ago one of the newspaper cartoons that made me smile was a comment upon a report that British senior citizens were organising a protest march in Whitehall about something or another. It depicted a bunch of examples of said demographic, engaged in its march, holding placards saying [...]

I didn’t know I had it, but it makes sense

As someone with a lifelong ‘early to bed and early to rise’ habit, I don’t mind admitting that my practice from the age of about fifty had been to rise on the dot of 5.24am, come wind, rain or shine. I didn’t even need to set an alarm clock; somehow it seemed I was programmed to awake at [...]

The future of travel and power?

About eighteen months ago my son Barry, who lives abroad, made one of his occasional fleeting visits to the UK and as usual spent much of it on the move – attending a business meeting, catching up with friends and family and doing some shopping in central London. Sometime last summer he was over [...]
