Oh, your dad’s from the West Midlands?

Rob Farley @robfarley.com · 17d

Yeah. I can imagine.

I don’t think anyone’s ever used those terms to describe him (me though…!), but it was interesting to see how much he has dropped ties to the UK, whereas I’ve never really felt like Australia was completely “home”.

Having spent time in England with my twin brother recently, it is even more obvious that I am English and he is Australian.

Saw “The Roses” tonight. Enjoyed it a lot. Americans should probably consider the language warning though.

So good to see my Adelaide friend Shab Azeez on stage at the Emmys as the show she’s in wins Best Drama. In the red dress near the right.

Happy BatmanSocks Day if you’re in Australia.

I’m wearing Batman socks to acknowledge all those people who didn’t grow up with a father, this Father’s Day

It’s very good. His other book (Artemis) wasn’t, but this one shows his first wasn’t a fluke.

I’m re-reading Project Hail Mary, and I’m 25% of the way through. I’m curious to see how they do the movie, and whether things will happen at the same kind of pace.

Thanks @virginaustralia.bsky.social for the email just now suggesting I get to the airport extra early because of the airport upgrades. I mean, my flight was four days ago, but I appreciate the email anyway.

Rob Farley @robfarley.com · Aug 12

Cheers. I should post here more often.

Felt good to submit a couple of conference sessions today. September already has two sessions booked, and now maybe a third. Plus my first conference submission for 2026.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.social I’ve left you an “Audience Reacts” thing, by the way.

Rob Farley @robfarley.com · Mar 18

@watsoncomedian.bsky.social Great show tonight.

Yeah. He’s 5’7”. Greg is 6’8”

Imagine him standing next to Florence Pugh. He’s 16 inches taller than she is.

Wait, Marvel has a character called Taskmaster, and it’s not Greg Davies?
