A NETWORKING EVENT

Call me old fashioned if you will but I do believe parties were much better 30 years ago. I received an invitation to a networking event held yesterday at the i360 for those who renewed membership to Brighton and Hove Albion’s 1901 club. The 1901 club has various levels of membership. I am in [...]

Did I just dream that?

The act of dreaming is a fascinating and complicated phenomenon. I believe I rarely dream, but several people I know contend strongly that I’m completely wrong in this view, asserting instead that everyone dreams every time they sleep and that maybe it’s just that I don’t remember my mine. [...]

It does make me smile

Regular Rust readers will know that I exercised my most fundamental democratic right (some might say duty) for the first time in my life on 23rd June 2016 when I recorded my vote in favour of Brexit in the UK’s EU Referendum. To this day I remain defiant in the face of constant criticism from [...]

A new one on me

As some who is rapidly approaching his eighth decade, I find that both instinctively and rationally (not necessarily at the same time) I am constantly adjusting my perspective on what is and is not important, relevant or worthy of my attention.

And so it will come to this

It is, of course, the duty of all Rust contributors to keep an eye open for items in the media that might be of interest – whether practical or just passing – to our readers. In that spirit, I feel justified in bringing to wider attention the following report by Shivali Best that [...]

Another report from the front line

They say pride comes before a fall, but I’m happy to record today that I now feel I’m ‘on the up’ as regards recovering from my hip operation (eight weeks ago this coming Friday). I won’t bother you with an exhausting recap. Suffice it to say that, after an initial period of making swift [...]

Well at least I enjoyed my day

Saturday 3rd September 2016: London Double Header at Twickenham Stadium. Harlequins 21 Bristol Rugby 19. Harlequins 4 Premiership points: Bristol Rugby 1 (losing bonus point). As regular readers will be aware, for the past eight years I have refused – both as a matter of principle and out of [...]

Why does it always happen to me?

Aspects of modern life that drive you nuts – part 36. Yesterday I was endeavouring to order a set of four 2017 pocket diaries from a well-known supplier for members of my family. Hitherto the annual process has worked like this: towards the end of August the current diary in question has a note [...]

Television is a transient art form

Although I’d happily confess to watching far more television than is good for me, I have only rarely dipped into the realms of cultured middle-class mass viewing – most particularly the seriously cutting edge, hard-hitting, political, thriller-drama series box sets such as Wired, Breaking Bad, [...]

We’ve come a long way (or have we?)

To be honest, having fought a few equality battles in my time on behalf of the sisterhood and looking back now, sometimes I wonder what all the fuss was about. It’s either that – or that I find myself worrying about what modern young women are doing with the hard-won advances that we put [...]
