Robert Webb on 'The Farage in the Garage' - from How Not To Be a Boy

RULES FOR BEING A MAN: Don't Cry; Love Sport; Play Rough; Drink Beer; Don't Talk About Feelings
But Robert Webb has been wondering for some time now: are those rules actually any use? To anyone? Looking back over his life, from schoolboy crushes (on girls and boys) to discovering the power of making people laugh (in the Cambridge Footlights with David Mitchell), and from losing his beloved mother to becoming a husband and father, Robert Webb considers the absurd expectations boys and men have thrust upon them at every stage of life.
Hilarious and heartbreaking, 'How Not To Be a Boy' explores the relationships that made Robert who he is as a man, the lessons we learn as sons and daughters, and the understanding that sometimes you aren't the Luke Skywalker of your life - you're actually Darth Vader.

I might be a little bit in love.
Can't wait to pick up a copy of the book :)

I don't think I can love Rob more, after this. I mean... still not as much as David, but it's a lot. This was good.

[@DodderingOldMan]

Heh, it's interesting... I've said for a long time that David is my favourite comedian ever (as you can probably tell from the avatar...) but having recently watched a bunch of interviews that Robert did for this book, I have to say that I think I'd probably rather have a conversation with him.

I'm not sure if that was meant to be funny or if actually thinks that stuff

[@DenisWalker]

Good stuff, but not all men have Y chromosomes.

Do you think he's a terf? That'd be a shame.
