The travails of my printer and modern consumerism

Although frustration in the digital age is a common topic on the Rust, here I will put it in the context of modern consumerism. It’s all to do with my Canon Printer which about a month ago only copied and printed in blank. At first I thought the cartridges needed replacement. First point: [...]

The Tanner Report: Spurs 2 Fulham 1

2-1 was not a bad result. However only poor finishing, great goalkeeping by our Bernd Leno and tenacious defending by Tim Ream and Tosin prevented a bigger defeat. I was especially interested to see the new Spurs stadium. I had been told that it took stadium design to a whole new level (9 levels to [...]

Sharks win and Cucurella departs

Sussex Sharks finally achieved a win by beating Gloucestershire by 51 runs at Hove. Delray Rawlins was the star of the show with 91 runs off 62 balls and 3 wickets with his leg spin. He is so often a frustrating player as the talent is clearly there but not the application. Gloucestershire ran out [...]

Edinburgh Museums: National Gallery/Portrait Gallery

It’s a difficult question for a national museum as to whether it should showcase national art or collect masterpieces from beyond the borders. The National Gallery in Trafalgar Square, whilst showing its Turners, was weighted towards Italian Renaissance and French Art. The northern renaissance [...]

The Tanner Report/Fulham past & present.

A local Fulham supporter who was moving entrusted me with his programme collection which went back to the 1950s. I had a scant recollection of games in the past 10 years but those in the 70s were crystal clear. Of particular interest was the Handbook for season 1971-72. In a column called Looking [...]

And another thing …

Here’s yet another from the proverbial “You Couldn’t Make It Up” folder. Where I now live – for some historical reason I do not yet understand – I have two separate “electricity supply” units. Don’t ask me why. One of them is supplied by Company A and soon after we bought the [...]

The Tanner Report: promotion achieved

Last Tuesday, after a 3-0 victory over Preston, Fulham’s promotion was confirmed. There were scenes of jubilation by fans and players alike. Now we need a cooler, analytical assessment of Fulham’s prospects in the Premier. In the last 5 seasons we have had 3 promotions and 2 relegations. [...]

A la Colthard/The Wolseley

There have been many tributes to Jeremy King being shunted out of the Wolseley by majority Thai investors, The Minor Group, so allow me to add my own. Quite simply The Wolseley will not be the Wolseley without the elegant Jeremy King doing his tour of the restaurant. He has that great gift of [...]

When time-honoured legal principles collide with modern life

My contribution today concerns two matters relating to the laws of England and Wales that I’ve come across recently and thought I’d share with my fellow Rusters. As is my traditional practice I shall open my discourse with a disclaimer and/or perhaps that should be “declaration of (non) [...]

Life is a Cabaret …

… not if you buy ticket in advance on line. A couple of months ago I bought in advance a ticket for Cabaret at the Playhouse Theatre for the princely sum of £200. It starred Eddie Redmayme and the theatre was done up as the Kit Kat Club. My connection to Cabaret goes back to my childhood. The [...]
