Random follow #140 - @robrendell

In the 1970's and early 80's the highlight of the movie was the car chase.  It is the point in time that everyone looked forward to because you it was the crux of the movie.  It quickly spawned a saying which I like to use a lot - "cut to the chase".  In other words hurry up and get on with it.  Quit mucking around and say what it is you've got to say.


That is a pretty accurate way to describe @robrendell.  He doesn't fluff around with his tweets.  He calls it like it is and hardly ever actually hits the 140 character limit that is imposed upon us all by twitter.

Here a few tips if you decide to hit the follow button - 
  • read every tweet twice - "thjis is a typo."
  • keep up to date with current events - "What is your beef w/ Miami?" - or read his tweets in series and not standalone
  • make sure you like sports 'cos in another life Rob would make a fantastic sports commentator - "Brilliant! Form has returned it seems. #nrlbriwar"
So what are you going to get if you follow him?  Its like having a mate over to watch sports with.  He sits at one end of the couch and you sit at the other end.  You can chew the fat, toss around facts and figures, argue over whether or not that was or was not a forward pass and then walk away after the final whistle and still be mates no matter which team you were cheering for.  The good part of this is that he won't eat all the chips but then he won't get up and get you a beer from the fridge when you're out either...



When he isn't tweeting or watching sport (both of these things tend to be simultaneous) he is a dad.  Rob has a healthy number of twitter follows and followers which is good to see because he deserves them.  Rob is a good bastard who hardly ever has anything bad to say about anyone.  I have no idea what he does for a real job but I do know that if he could combine his passion for sport and social media then he would be on to an absolute winner.  Maybe Radio Sport or Sky TV have need of a live tweeter commentator?

And so @robrendell gets the last word - 

"Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight tweeps!"
