What’s Hot

This whole Liverpool thing

I was delighted that Manchester City beat Liverpool. My first email was a clip of Jurgen Klopp extolling the glories of Liverpool. “It’s not a club, it’s a family. we don’t have chants but anthems”.  And so it went on. There was no mention of Heysel, nor of Bob Paisley who won [...]

Two Way Stretch and Warner Crime Movies

Like Nancy Bright Thompson I decide to reorganise and categorise in my case my DVDs. I sorted them out into Hollywood, World, British comedy and my personal favourites. It also meant that I had a “survival stack’ as none of the Xmas TV movies attracted me. I watched first Two Way Stretch, a [...]

The Tanner Report: Arsenal 4 Fulham 1

Although Arsenal ran out easy winners, we had two chances to score before Arsenal did – both falling to Ryan Sessegnon who muffed them even though they fell on his more reliable left foot. Arsenal scored first with the now familiar sight of the opposition scorer having as much time and space [...]

My New Years Eve

It was another first for me last night: a New Years Eve spent in the UK. The last three have been in Sydney, the South China Seas and Cape Town respectively. New Years Eve is overrated, an excuse for restaurants to charge much more and the minicabs taking you there and back. However it is also the [...]

Birthday party

These days I don’t often get invited to parties and I cannot say I miss this aspect of my social life. I have no real desire to meet new people, my optimal hope is to encounter someone I like but don’t see often. My reaction to an invitation to the birthday party of my Thai Housekeeper Lin was [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 1 Huddersfield 0

Bob Tickler’s godson Jamie was mascot and will remember this game for the right and wrong reasons. The right? He met and was photographed with the team, led them out hand in hand with his favourite player Tom Cairney, shook hands with the opposition, his name was on the scoreboard … an [...]

The ABC murders

Agatha Christie and Hercule Poirot purists might well have been offended by this edgy, dark representation and John Malkovich’s portrayal of the Belgian detective but thank goodness writer Sarah Phelps stayed faithful to the plot line as it’s an intriguing mystery. The normal Christie [...]

Book journal

One thing we don’t do on the Rust is product endorsement for financial gain. Readers may not realise that when, for example, a celebrity is recommending somewhere or something in a newspaper he/she is expecting a high payment. So when I recommend the Moleskine range of journals it is because [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 1 Wolves 1

No doubt it we are a meaner, better organised team under Claudio Ranieri – evidenced by only conceding one goal in the last two games. However 2 draws and 2 points may not be enough if that continues, even in a league where a final low level of points for survival is predicted, possibly as [...]

The Horse of the Year Show

You might have thought that the BBC in its promotion of women’s sport might give more airtime to the one sport – showjumping – where women compete directly with men but no it does not. James Whittaker won the main prize in this year’s Horse of the Year. It was not ever thus – [...]
