Bad Retirement
On the back of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson’s decision to retire, I find myself pondering all the tough transitions for big personalities who go from high pressure positions to having all the time in the world. No more glitz, glamour, acclaim, nuthin’. It’s all about idle minds, coin collections and hours and hours to [...]
Podcast #46 – Peter’s Movie Test
Ever wondered what Julia Roberts’ best movie is? Oh, you think it’s Pretty Woman or the one where she smiles a lot? Wrong! You’re about to have your movie taste and knowledge pushed to the limits. RRH | Peter's Movie Test
Podcast #45 – Lie To Me
In life, some things are hard to take. The truth for example. And let’s face it, there are times it’s just better to hear a big fat lie to make you feel better about yourself. And sometimes it’s just better to be offered a chicken parmigiana and a ride home. RRH | Lie To Me [...]
Homage to ‘Superman Is A Dick’
One of the things that got me through my first office job was a website called Superman Is A Dick. Apart from the guy who runs it being a borderline creationist, it’s one of the most entertaining places the internet’s ever given us. Even if you’re not a comic fan, looking at earth’s poster boy, [...]
Podcast #44 – Personal Development
You’re not perfect, remember that. There are things about you that are really annoying to others and you suck at your job. Maybe. But at least you sit down when you’re supposed to, right? RRH | Personal Development Clayton (RRH)
Is it wrong to inject coffee?
Coffee makes us go. It’s the life blood of the working masses who trudge off to bash their heads against the walls of oppression each morning as well as a topic of hot debate for hipsters and DINKs in every urban centre across the globe. What state would we be in at that nine o’clock [...]
Is Variety The Biggest Issue?
We’re all good people, aren’t we? Underneath all the ‘ism’s and ‘obia’s and bad personal hygiene. Most of us believe in an equal playing field (not communism) and a fair go for all (except maybe the North Korean’s right now). So when we see someone a little less fortunate than us, we’re inclined to feel [...]
Another Mortal Kombat movie?
The movie people, in all their wisdom, have decided to make another Mortal Kombat movie. Scientists are still trying to figure out how successful the original video game 1995adaptation was, and exactly why a sequel was made two years later, but before the findings of that study are released, we have been treated to a [...]
Across the Universe…by Elron
When I was younger, my friends and I occasionally tried to work out what our earliest memories were. We could never get a sense of any timelines, so our pasts remained half-remembered mysteries. In the end we usually settled on certain events we thought were amusing or illustrated something about our personalities. My favourite story [...]
CelebrityMove
When I get to sit down and try to put the genius on hold for a while, I like to unwind with a cold beer, a comfy seat and a harmless game of Fifa on my Playstation. Unfortunate as it is for me, however, is the very painful truth that one cannot simply turn off [...]
RRHeviews… Do Soldiers Make Good Actors?
Actors now are bred more than born. Training starts early and there are large as well as small institutions dotted throughout fashionable cities where you can become a star. A star who is just as bright as the rest of your classmates. Now you don’t see the naturals so much, the ones who tried another [...]
Podcast #43 – The Religion
Life is full of tests. Big tests, little tests, maths tests and tests to see if your bits and pieces are okay because it’s starting to burn a little when you pee… But where do we learn to grow into proper, polite peeps? There are rules to function in society and Clayton expects you to [...]
In the Air Tonight…By Elron
My mother is fond of saying that the internet is useless and unnecessary, often right after booking a flight online or talking to her grandkids via Skype. She’s similarly dismissive of mobile phones, usually while talking on a mobile phone. Taken at face value, my mother’s attitude seems quite illogical. I find it particularly ridiculous [...]
Random Patching
There are so many bands around these days. Which can only mean one thing, free money. And the most important thing about a band is its name. (Well, the most important thing is actually looking hot. That goes without saying, which is why this sentence is in a bracket and not with the normal bit [...]
Podcast #42 – Life Of A Salesman
Most people shop for necessities like clothes, food and wives but there are some who just shop for the sheer fun of it. Yes, the shopping experience can change your day and Clayton and Pete would like to share some of theirs with you. RRH | Life Of A Salesman Peter (RRH)
First Album
The sounds heard by an unborn child inside the womb must be very confusing. There’d be a whole lotta talk about names and new furniture and all kinds of other stuff that this little blob of life just wouldn’t understand, not to mention the dirge created by the mother’s digestive system. Yet some parents-to-be insist [...]
You’re So Vain, You Probably Think This Blog Is About You
I’ve started to notice a trend lately that I can’t quite stomach. It isn’t a trending topic on a social media outlet. It isn’t a fashion trend (although more on that in a moment) nor is it a trendy turn of phrase. The trend to which I refer is a lot bigger than all that. [...]
Podcast #41 – Council Elections
Good things come to those who wait… Unfortunately as we’re an impatient society, we’re forced to deal with all kinds of shit. And you should never shit where you eat, apparently, which brings us loosely to… Council Elections! Anyway, here we are to give you the truth, the whole truth so help you Member Of [...]

X-Men and the Changing World of Fashion
Reading through some recent X-Men comics I find myself wondering about the changes in fashion over the years. I grew up leafing through pages of absurdly muscular men dressed up in crazy body armour and Speedos. Big-breasted women sprayed with spandex if they were lucky and in nothing but a g-string if they weren’t. How [...]
RRHeviews… Social Discrimination
We might not claim to be experts here at RobertRedfordsHair, but we are connoisseurs of life. Life, can be beautiful. It can be grotesque. It can overwhelm, underwhelm or just plain whelm. So to help save your soul or push you towards the choice cuts, we’re reviewing shit. Reviewing shit for you. Just like The [...]
You Can’t Live With Your Neighbours
There are times when living in the country or on another planet seem like very appealing options. Say, Mars. Or Adelaide. Because in those far off, quiet and slightly radioactive places there are no neighbours. And sometimes you just can’t live with neighbours. Being a good neighbour isn’t a difficult thing but there’s a whole [...]
You Need JT More Than You Think
News Just-in (boh!), Justin T-Lake Timberlake is coming back, yo. He’s put down the scripts, the code to the NewMySpace has been zero-one-zeroed and all the honeymoon banging has come to a grinding halt. What else was there for JT to do but return to the studio? It’s been like, what, six years since his [...]
To Be a Rock and Not to Roll…By Elron
One of the pleasures of living thousands of miles away from the country of my birth is being able to go back and experience it as an outsider who once belonged. Every time I visit England I find another truth about the place that I sensed when I lived there but never found the words [...]
