Let/make them eat Cake!
With my fundraising £167 short of my target I had to think of something good to raise the extra cash for the National Autistic Society. I had promsed £500. What would they do if they didn’t receive £500? Break my legs? Send me anthrax? Eat my dog?! I don’t have a dog, thank god. Since I have in the region of 10,000 people walk past my house on Arsenal match days, I decided what better than to run a cake sale.
What an idea! 10,000 people who are mainly portly (fat), well-built (fat) and physically robust (fat) men. They’ve had burgers, chips and beer – what they need is good old fashioned cake. An easy sell. A simple plan. It would turn out to be hard work which really isn’t my forte…

Run Fat-Bob Run!
No Fletcher before me has done it. In fact, I don’t know anyone who has done it. I better do it then hadn’t I? No, I’m not talking about Mephadrone. I’m talking about a Marathon. 26.2 miles. Pretty hardcore right?
Especially for a chubby, lazy, biscuit fan like me. Could I do it? Train properly, get a charity, raise the money, send in all the forms, get to Brighton? Well you know what chuck? Let’s find out…

Get out of my country?
The first election debate was on ITV1 earlier tonight. Clegg won. I found it quite interesting – though I did zone out in parts. They talked for a few minutes on Immigration which is a red hot topic in my household right now. My aussie housemate Jason has just been blocked from coming back into England after a trip to Sweden. Bloody crapola I know! We’ve had to re-rent the room out again. Very gay indeed.
In this blog I’ll be arguing that Immigration is totally or at least a bit wrong. What would I change if I were Prime Minister? Which I might be one day, but almost certainly won’t. So – for the first time ever – I have something resembling an opinion on this complex and grown-up topic. And that opinion is…

Am I more politically savvy than an 8 year old?
In yet another family focussed edition of Bob Versus I’ve taken on my 8 year old niece Charlotte at drawing. Realising that A: I’m not good at drawing and B: She’s good at drawing - I challenged her with the topic ‘Politics’. With the Election coming up it seemed the ideal subject – and of course, she should have less understanding than me, ergo, level-playing field. Ergo… I can win.
So who will come out on top in this artistic contest? What can I learn along the way to up my game? Forget your electoral vote this year, this is the only ballot box you should be worrying about. Bob or Charlie? Who wins? Read on…

Show me the Bunny! (of Easter)
Hello and a Happy Easter to you all. About a month or so ago my brother Andy challenged me to writing and recording an Easter song. Obviously I accepted. As anyone who has a sibling knows, you don’t turn down a challenge ever. EVER!
The idea came about when Andy noticed that whilst Christmas has oodles of pop songs in tribute, annual fights to be the “Christmas number one” as well as truck loads of biblical hymns there’s a baffling absence of Easter music. This had to be remedied and where better than at bobversus…
