The purpose of it all

Please pardon the delay in me addressing this media story, but I was listening to Dotun Adebayo’s Up All Night programme on Radio Five Live in the early hours of this morning when I heard a segment on new research from the United States of America apparently demonstrating that sex just gets [...]

The passing of Time

You might regard this as hypocritical or contradictory, but as someone who claims he lacks personal vanity, as I get older I find that my willingness to attend reunions – be they of school old boys, former work colleagues, or the usual round of funerals, wakes and thanksgiving services – [...]

It’s all going crazy!

Twice every year there tends to be a disconnect between the world as it normally is and a degree of weirdness, i.e. during the August (end of summer) ‘silly season’, when not much is happening, and then the second half of December, when it’s almost a case of too much going on. It won’t have [...]

There are some aspects of life that I like to think [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
