Too childish even for a child


This is Rob here. Now I am not clever in any way but I relay on common sense which is extremly useful in every day life. Here's what this is all about. When I have been a child there have been children's TV with shows about adventure and action. There were things which could inspire a child's imagination, get them dreaming. But now I believe that children's TV has become too childish to be childish. And it's not just TV. Any parent or teacher out there buying new books for younge children, are these books just full of smiling characters? Yes. The only thing that gives the child an adventure are these "Harry Potter" books. What else is there apart from a few other books few have heard of? Maybe that's why these books are so popular. Now here comes the worst. TV meant for children are designed for people under the age of 3 while TV for that age group is designed for children of age -5. Now after the child grows out of these BABY programmes what is there left? Adult programmes. Where did all this death, drugs and sex come from when the day before it was just a happy bunny? When I was young there was Mighty Morthing Power Rangers, Cops, Reboot, half way across the galaxy and turn left, and more. Where's the adventure now? In a play park what should be seen is children acting out parts of that episode they saw. You know. "I'll be X, you'll be Y and he'll be the enemy Z." Where are the shows to inspire? About an hour with the TV can't do much harm. The child isn't inside all day. You may wonder: "but wouldn't this create a generation of children without violence?" That is a good question. I thought that myself but then someone pointed out that if anything this new generation of child is more violent. I do wonder if this could be due to the "big leap" from child entertainment to adult. There is nothing in between and both are too extreme in either way for a child who is around ten years old. Think about this. I say this is a problem. If you disagree, think back to you're past an remember what there was for you when you were young. Did this show seem great? Did this seem spectacular? It doesn't take much to entertain a child of around ten, but give them some credit. Give them something to dream about when the're young and something to remember when the're older. As I say there is nothing to help people jump the gap from child to adult. Think about it then if you have anything to say comment below. You don't have to log in just click anonymous. As I have said I am not very clever so if you disagree just say it. I am not going to sart a campaign about this new "soft" TV but I think such a thing is important for a child's development.

Sorry for the delay in this month's challenge, but there is plenty of time to use it. Anyway, now here's the quote: "Why can't you just be a good boy and die." Or here's one another to give an extra hint to make up for me not being here: "Beg your pardon, forgot to knock." now if no one get's these Oh they don't know their films. HA HA HA HA!!!! Ah the film isn't really that good. It's the music that really spoils it. Good luck in guessing the film. Posted by Hello

Good evening, Rob is back. Sorry there has been no challenge this month but I shall make that now. Now there seems to be little interest with my very few plans for change so I doubt that I shall bother with them. Anyway, anyone want to hear of my little outing? No one?!? Hey such language won't do here!!!! You don't want to hear? You don't want to know of my amazing quest into another universe? And how I fought to the death in a bloody battle to save the forgotten land of eggs? No? Aww and I had planned to talk about my trek to the edge of the universe and beyond. The people of Clen wrote many songs about my many heroic acts. You don't want to know? Your loss. Could I at least talk about how I flooded the land of Madges to save the small village of gohs? No. Sigh. So many snap shots gone to waste. You may at least wish to hear about how I fired Tim? You do? Well it wasn't much. I saw what he said and killed him on thexgfjhjfsf I mean made him leave of coarse. Wink. Well he did his job but I have a strange feeling that he will be back. But I can't stand around all day, I must make a June challenge. That's something that Tim forgot. Next time so called Tim, do what I say or else, moo. Posted by Hello

You may have seen little of Rob lately or ever. That is because he is busy and has little time on his hands. But he doesn't want to abandon anyone so he has placed me in charge for a while. Oh come on you know me. I've been here all the time talking for Rob. I'm Tim. What's that? How come there's only the profile of Rob? Well that's because we at Rob on the net only use one user name and password. Another question: Why is this called "Rob" on the net instead of "Tim" on the net or "Dr X" on the net? Well the answer is simple. When this blog began it was only Rob, then I came along and Rob allowed me access because he knew me. There are others here who write for Rob. They don't want to be named. To be honest it is fun acting as though we are a large company but we are just a small group of friends who got together. Now Rob will not forgive me for telling you this but I thought it would be fun to let you all know what is going on behind the scenes. Ta. Posted by Hello

Good, now I have your attention. Rob has had another idea. Again Rob asks that you hear him out. He has talked about this with Brins and has reached the conclusion that to see if it could work we have to try it. The idea is that we shall create another Blog, part of Rob on the net but different. The idea is that it could be a more social page. What I mean is that others can join and write their own posts of whatever within reason. Sound stupid? But Rob does want to make things more interactive for the visitors who come here. The plan is that this new blog can be used as a meeting place for others where they can do what they like. Their shall be clear links to the blogs or webpages of the members. This will be your blog and what Rob has in mind is that people can put all of what they know to use in one blog and learn and bring it back to their own. Go nuts in other words. And now I'm talking too much. The idea is that you join and will be able to take part with the creation of it and keep it going blah blah. If you're interested or just wondering what I'm blubbering about, then comment below and call me an idiot. Again this will not happen unless at least a few people take interest. Ta. Posted by Hello

Change on the horizon for Rob on the net (again).


Rob has been wondering how to create his own background for this blog. But the trouble is he is afraid of losing things like his web counter. There must be away around it. But either way Rob has been wonering if it would be an idea to make a challenge out of it. No no, hear me out, hear me out. This is just an idea. Rob will only give this "the go ahead" if people take an interest. You see he wants this blog to be as interactive as he can make it. Ideas here are few. I mean if someone did design a background for this blog, their name would be forever mentioned here, clearly and with respect. As I say it is only an idea but you can't say we're not trying. Give it a thought and let Rob know any pros or cons you have over it. Hey it is up to you if this site does well or not. Ta. Posted by Hello

Rob has been framed.


Rob is stunned as someone has accused him of going against their religion and saying that they could not be a guest. That's not true. What is going on? I tried commenting on their blog to see if I could straighten this out but still don't have a clue as there has been no answer, I checked. I won't say who this person was but you can find their comment in one of the past post a few months back. This person came back with a different name and demanded that Rob was againtst them. I don't get it. Their blog was about religion so Rob asked a question, this person answered and it seemed fine. Now what is going on? Rob doesn't remember "taking the piss" out of anything. Could this peson please give Rob an e-mail or comment clearing this up. I just don't get it.Is it possible that they remember wrong or something. Either way just ?????????????????????????????????????????? Posted by Hello

There is no winner.


Oh my, Oh no. This is the first of Rob's challenges that no one has guessed the answer to. It was proberly Rob's own fault as he only gave one quote. Who knows, just don't stop trying. Never give up and do Rob proud next time.
What's that? The answer? Oh it was The Secret Garden.

There will be a new challenge coming soon. 'til then, good luck. Ta.Posted by Hello

Rob is still creating this site and is learning about it as he goes. But there is along way to go still.
