Well it’s a sad day today as Rob Campbell shuts down his blog indefinitely.

It's not because of this video……..

 

It’s not because his employer has told him to.

It’s not because the odd bunch that comment have finally got to him.

It’s not because his best friend has asked him to cease and desist publicly admiring his genitals.

It’s not even down to his considerable holiday time being cut back.

It’s because Rob is expecting his first child very, very soon. A lucky little boy to have a Daddy like Rob.

And not just because he will be the first in school to get whatever sad gadget is out this week.

Once his Dad has had a play.

As much as Rob tries to hide his kind generous spirit, that’s the man that comes out over years and years of posting every day.

He is one of the most thoughtful people I’ve never met.

Rob is also evil, somehow I’ve been maneuvered into seeing Queen live in January, all at the hands of this evil genius. I hate Queen, white hot hate and yet I live in fear of actually liking it and having to admit this publicly –along with the obligatory selfie.

In fact, the only good thing to come out of the death of another planning blog is that I can’t be publicly ridiculed there.

Any more than I have already anyway.

So good luck Rob, all the best to you and your family.

    We’ve never met.
    That said, this is very kind and lovely and over-the-top of you and based on what everyone has been saying, it’s au revoir rather than goodbye … but I hope I can be half as good a dad as you are to your kids and I’ll make sure I check in to see how your first experience with semi-Queen.
    Thank you my friend. If my blog did anything, it let me meet you so it wasn’t all bad.

    I’m fully, aware we’ve never met and exasperated at the fact. For the love of God, you’ve met Dodds.
    Good job maybe it wasn’t to be in Korea, Fred and I were plastered for most of it, or we’re limping on a tennis court.

    You only say that because I’d have so many opportunities to take embarrassing photos Mr Sorrell would never hire you. So yes, my loss is your gain.
