"X FACTOR WAS FUN LAST WEEK"
HEY FRIENDLIES,
HOW DO?
I'VE BEEN A VERY BUSY BOY.....
NO DAYS OFF FOR THE LAST 6 WEEKS....(AND LOVING IT)
SO MANY PLANS....SO MANY IRONS IN THE FIRE....
SO MUCH I CAN'T TELL YOU ABOUT ; )
WITHIN MONTHS I'M ABOUT TO EMBARK ON THE BUSIEST
PERIOD OF MY CAREER TO DATE AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT STARTED....
EVERYTHING SEEMS NEW........
I'VE TAKEN THE IDEA OF FRIENDLY GIGS A BIT FUTHER...BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT A BIT TO FIND OUT....SORRY ; )
FARRELL'S UP AND RUNNING AND DOING VERY WELL.....LOVING IT.....
I'M LEARNING A DIFFERENT TRADE......OLD DOG NEW TRICKS.....
WITH THE AMAZING BEN DICKENS COMING OVER FROM BURBERRY
I FEEL LIKE I DID WHEN WHEN ME AND GUY CHAMBERS STARTED WRITING SONGS TOGETHER.,....EXCITING TIMES....
RE NEW ALBUM...I THINK A WHILE AGO I SAID THE NEW ALBUM SOUNDS LIKE ESCAPOLOGY
I'LL HAVE TO REVISE THAT....THE NEW ALBUM SOUNDS LIKE NON OF THE OLD ONES....
BUT I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME ...
YOU WANT GUITAR/PIANO/HEART ON MY SLEEVE STUFF...OK...YOU GOT IT....
I MADE THE LAST COUPLE OF ALBUMS FOR ME AND HAD A GREAT TIME DOING IT
BUT MY RAISON D'ETRE (WORLD DOMINATION) WAS MISSING....IT'S BACK
I KNOW IT SEEMS LIKE AGES UNTIL ANYTHING WILL HAPPEN...
BUT IT FEELS LIKE 5 MINUTES AGO I WAS SAYING "THIS TIME NEXT YEAR I'LL BE ON STAGE WITH TAKE THAT"
THAT CAME AND WENT QUICKLY DIDN'T IT?
X FACTOR WAS FUN LAST WEEK....NICE TO GO TO A TV STUDIO AND NOT BE WORKING
IT FELT LIKE THE LAST DAY OF TERM BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS....GAZ WAS ON GREAT FORM
HE'S THE MOST UNFLAPPABLE MAN IN THE BUSINESS ...I'VE LEARNT SO MUCH FROM HIM
HE'S TEFLON GAZ NOTHING STICKS...HE JUST GETS ON WITH ENJOYING HIMSELF...
..
IT WAS NICE TO GET REACQUAINTED WITH MARCUS TOO.....GREAT SINGER VERY HANDSOME AND A LOVELY PERSON TO BOOT....
OH TALKING OF REACQUAINTED OLLY MURS WAS THERE...WHAT A PERFORMANCE WITH THE MUPPETS!.....
I TOLD HIM HE'S A BONAFIDE PROPER POPSTAR NOW....I'M SURE ME AND HIM WILL BE SPENDNG MORE TIME TOGETHER AT SOME POINT....
I ALSO GOT TO HAVE A CHAT WITH THE BEAUTIFUL KELLY ROWLAND ...WHAT A KIND SPIRIT SHE'S GOT...SHE'S A GOODY.....
LOUIS GAVE ME A HARD TIME FOR WEARING SUNGLASSES INDOORS AND RIGHTLY HE SHOULD ....
THE INDOOR SUNGLASS WEARER IS A TWAT....BUT I HAD BIG BLACK JET LAG RINGS UNDER MY EYES.....
SO I'LL TAKE TWAT FOR AN EVENING .....WE TALKED JEDWARD AND I SENT THEM MY BEST WISHES...
WE ALSO TALKED WESTLIFE FOR A WHILE...THE LADS ARE ON THEIR LAST TOUR...WHAT A CAREER THEY'VE HAD...
(JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW LONG TAKE THAT COULD HAVE STAYED TOGETHER ,,.,.,,)
THEY'RE PROPER GRAFTERS...I'M PROUD OF THEM...SOAK IT ALL IN LADS...
THE NEXT DAY FOUND ME AT STRICTLY.....MY MATE ROBBIE SAVAGE SAID COME DOWN SO I DID....
I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I'VE HAD A COMPULSION TO HAVE MY PICTURE TAKEN WITH ANYBODY..
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT SUE POLLARD....SHE ASKED ME ''IS IT FOR YOUR MUM?''
NO SUE IT WAS FOR ME....I'LL TREASURE IT....THANK YOU....

I HAD A GREAT CHAT WITH JASON DONAVON IN BETWEEN REHEARSALS TOO....WHAT A TOP BLOKE
ROBBIE DID REALLY WELL HE WAS SO COMMITTED. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING MORE OF HIM ON TELLY. HE'S A GREAT CHARACTER
AND SUCH A WARM GUY... HE WANTED ME TO THANK YOU FOR ANY SUPPORT YOU THREW HIS WAY....
I'M GOING TO TRY AND GET A RADIO RUDEBOX READY FOR CHRISTMAS.....
I DID SAY THE NEXT ONE WOULD BE JUST BOYS.....BUT THAT DOESNT SEEM RIGHT FOR A CRIMBO SPECTACULAR....
SO THE GANG WILL BE BACK....
MUCH LOVE FOLKS....
I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WHEN I CAN....
UNTIL THEN,...THANKS FOR GROWING OLD WITH ME...YOU KEPT YOUR PROMISE
NOW IT'S TIME I LIVED UP TO MY PART OF THE BARGAIN....

THANKS ROB SOOO MUCH!! Just got home from flogging round shops trying to get crimbo pressies - such a chore - and found your blog on my return - HAPPY NOW!! Always great to hear all your news - you are teasing us about the friendly gigs you know - but have faith in you that it'll be worth the wait... Unbelievably exciting about the new album. Just wondering, what new things are you discovering about yourself as you're recording it? I was very priviledged to be at Gaz's gig at the RAH on Mon eve - wow, he was on fine form - last chance of 2011 to sway ones arms in the air to the TT tunes - sigh...... Of course, was secretly hoping you would show - aah well - but will assure you one thing, Olly Murs is good, but he will NEVER fill your shoes!! Continued good luck with Farrell - exciting to be learning a new trade - keep us posted... And really hope you get time to do a RR for us before Christmas. Did post you a few questions before when you asked for them, so ignore 'Ask a Boy' and change it to 'Ask the Gang' instead! Hope they will be interested in our questions .... So much to ponder now - better go and put the kettle on!! Love & hugs Amy No1 xxx
Your blog has literally made my day!!! It was so nice knowing you were in London the other week and i'm glad you had a lovely time :D can't wait for the album and friendlies tour!! Hopefully see you soon xxxxxxx
Hi Rob...and as i say...You look great and were very gentle escpecially to Marcus...Take care love....
Ah, it's great to hear from you Rob! Thanks for the blog, it's brightened my day :) Seems like you had a good time in Blighty, i'm guessing you're back in LA now, lucky you, it's fookin' freezin' here. It was a nice surprise to see you on the X Factor on Saturday, gotta love ol' Captain Barlow! Sounds like you've got some exciting stuff tucked up your sleeve...especially the friendlies gigs...wooo! I know it's a bit early, but if you're not around before Crimbo (hopefully you will be with Crimbo Rudebox radio!) - Merry Christmas! Take care chuck. xxx
Looky here - thank you! After first read through it all it sounds like we friendlies are in for some great times and I'm happy to wriggle about in anticipation ;o) So glad you enjoyed your visit over here - it was good to see you popping up here and there. But OY less of the getting old with you nonsense - I've just seen McEnroe (50) beat a guy 12 years younger than him in straight sets - get on with it Williams! ... I hear you though. I'm looking forward to some Christmas RR madness soon - take care.
oh Rob thanks so much for sharing and thinking of us friendlies here. Cant wait for details of the friendlies gig. The new album sounds great and i cant believe that you have listened to us as to what we would like to hear. Your really are one in a million. Please do me a favour .... never change! Lots of love as always xXx

I hope you can rest a little now ;-)... but I can't wait to hear new songs... have a wonderful end of 2011... May God bless you and your beautiful wife... Cheers from Belgium
Interesting read. Only just joined (or rejoined as I'm sure I was once a member to get advance tickets to a gig) and having followed your career, read books, brought the dvds and had psoters on my bedroom wall (many years ago I might add) it's good to see you in a good place and enjoying work. Looking forward to some new material and hopefully a gig or two. Keep enjoying x
Thanks for the update Robbie. Looking forward to the future and all the stuff you have coming up for us 'friendlies'. Whilst I have the chance I want to wish you and Ayda a lovely Christmas and the most wonderful and fantastic New Year xxx
