I’m not sure if I am the only person who feels this, but I can’t help but feel I am repeating myself on my blog.

I recently read through some of the stuff I’ve written over the past year and couldn’t help but feel it was saying the same bloody thing over and over again – and yet when I read other people’s blogs, they always seem so bloody fresh and interesting.

To be honest, I was quite tempted to stop the whole thing altogether but then Andy pointed out that if I did that, I’d be even more of a ‘Billy No Mates’ than I already am, so I just thought I’d let you know that I’ll be trying to broaden my topic range in the future so at the very least I’ll be less bored reading them because I daren’t imagined how brain dead you lot must feel.

Right, that’s it – just had to get it off my chest. Ta.

Is this a mid blog-life crisis??

Comment by Age

its a reality check age

i can totally empathise with you rob and sometimes when i read others’ awesome blogs i think ‘uh, why do i bother’. but that’s the whole thing about this blogging caper – you do what you do. and you don’t just go flip-flopping for the sake of it. not that broadening ones horizons aren’t to be encouraged, but there is no need to be rash either.

besides, even if you do post the same old stuff, largely what happens on this blog is that the discussion steers it in very different directions (the good, the bad and the ugly). posting the way that you do facilitates that in a way that others dont’.

and andy, seeing as you don’t actually write a blog, next time – have a little more decorum about the way you crush your business partner’s esteem, will you?

That’s you told Andy! 🙂

[Ta Lauren, and thanks for confirming that [1] I DO write the same thing and [2] no one gives what I write the slightest bit of notice, hahaha!]

Comment by Rob

🙂 you will twist my words, mr campbell [speaking of not giving what i write the slightest bit of notice]

Comment by lauren

Thing is we can all rant but nobody has banged out as many tasty ads as Dr. Robert and furthermore very few people get to the top of their game without becoming a bit on the corporate side. So well done.

If George, Andy and Pete and the other pro snipers/sitcom sideline characters did a blog that collectively took the piss out of you. Now that would go in my RSS pretty pronto too 🙂

What a load of bollocks.

Comment by Marcus

I fucking love this blog.
I’ve met the coolest bunch of strangers ever here.
Keep it up, all of you.

Comment by Age

This is a blog?

Comment by John

It’s like a blog John, just more fucked.

But then I blame the people who come on here!

Comment by Rob

a man in my position cannot be seen hanging around this kind of blog anymore

Comment by The God of PowerPoint

That’s quite good actually ‘G.O.P.’ because I have a horrendous preso that I need to get done by Monday for Virgin – do you think you could rustle something up for me, think your ‘Blah’ stuff but with the word ‘Irrelevent’ …

Comment by Rob

Please feel free to steal that preso. And do a word swop.

Comment by The God of PowerPoint

But that would be ‘creative pickpocketing’, I can’t condone that sort of thing.

Cough cough, splutter splutter …

Comment by Robert

Don’t let Bill read that you call yourself God of Powerpoint. I think he still thinks that he is god of everything Microsoft.

And Rob, Noel Gallagher said “when you tell the whole world you are the fucking greatest rock band in the world, one day half of them will believe it.” Well, with brands and avertising you still have a lot of telling to do, I think.

Can I be nice? I can.

Comment by Seb

Bill who?

Comment by The God of PowerPoint

The Bill … as in the greatest Police drama ever?

Comment by Robert

Bill…that untalented hack.

Comment by Seb

I ain’t fucking worried then Seb.

Comment by The God of PowerPoint

First he denies winning the lottery then he suggests he’s bored with blogging…..anyone see what’s going on here?

Comment by John

Oh no, not the Quo again…

Comment by Rob Mortimer

campbell did win the lottery, he won it when i didnt tell him to fuck off the moment i clapped eyes on him and then again years later when in a moment that can only be described as unbelievable generosity, i allowed him to talk me into starting a business with the fool.

he knows the truth, without me he not only would be nothing, hed have nothing. fuck im kind, i should be a recognised saint

Comment by andy@cynic

Indeed you should, but that would make you a disciple of John.

Comment by John

And he’ll have to come and worship at my fucking church.

Comment by The God of PowerPoint

is that the church of microsoft fucking office?
