really dunno wot made rob made a tatoo of those two birds on his belly.....but i know those birds...they r swallows.....swallows mean the beginning of spring.....cos they go away from cold lands,lookin for warm ones......in spring,all nature is born again after its long winter beauty sleep....flowers appear everywhere.....is it a message of hope?....maybe......"there r bad times just around the corner",but good times r also always waitin for us......i also use to hear these words....."if a swallow dies ,it doesnt mean spring dies too".....we may have bad times in our lives but it doesnt mean our lives lose their meaning......i think its a message of hope.....and i love those swallows cos here in portugal we have them and once in my terrace, one passed over my head and almost touched me.......they r so beautiful!....rob has a wonderful taste.....congrats rob and ....thxxxxxxxxxxx.......XXXXXXXX

I was watching the recent losers and winners of the year on bbc2 when it said robbie williams was a loser of the year because he always whined about being alone. This is really unfair on him. Just because he has everything doesn't mean he should be happy. I am in a similar situation and I do have a lot of good things in my life, but I still can't find happiness and it doesn't help when I have swot yelled at me all the time.

Stephanie McCaffery - Grandad's Funeral
How was the organizers susspost to know that your Granddad was going to die and be buried the same day as the biggest conncert at Knebworth. I went to the connerct with my partner and 2 sister in laws 5 and a half months pregnant and it was the first ever conncert I went to and it was a special night I got to see my favourite singer live even thouugh I was pregnant and ill. So don't blame the organizers blame the Funeral directors it was there fault they should have arranged it better.

Stephanie McCaffery - Grandad's Funeral
Stephanie - I'm sorry the day of the funeral ended out the way it did - but -it's not as if RW deliberately set out to hurt you & your family. Anyhow - didn't you know there was a huge concert happening on that day and anticipated there might be big delays with all the people and traffic??? Worst case scenario - funeral could have been delayed till a day the concert wasn't on, they do have cold rooms you know (and I'm not being bitchy). (Hi Jessica from Brissy)

desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in you own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is! as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
I don't mean to sound annoying or anything but....
Hi there hun, Fistly id like to say how sorry i am for you at lose of your grandfather nothing prepares us when we loose a loved one, but i have to say that Robbie didnt ruin your grandfathers funeral the concert was organised so far in advance and please all the thousands of fans that went to see him myself included were obviously unaware of the sad passing of you grandad and just wanting to go where they had planned i know things are said in hurt and anger and thats i can comprehend but to blame a person for such a thing is very cruel hun,Robbie was doing his job that day as were a million other people in world nobody especially Robbie would have wanted that to happen on the day of funereal but it did but dwelling on it brings bitter anger and i dont believe thats what your grandad would have wanted for you, just try remember the way he was and treasure those memorys and please think about what you wrote again and i think you will see that it wasnt and anyones fault it was another day in! this world that didnt go way we wanted but we can not change what has passed we can on the other hand remeber them as hiccups hurtfull as day was grandas is still in your heart hun. take care.xx sarah,m

++ hello friends ++
I wasn't in the mood to celebrate a big new years party... so many people have lost their lifes 'coz of the tsunami so I thought on them & their families... I hope the new year will bring us all betta days... it's great that we all try to help with money or clothes or if it's just a prayer... I think everything can help them now... we live on a mad planet...terror...wars...hunger....many of our problems have to do with some people which think money is more worth than a life...power more worth than peace...but God thx we have also plenty of good people down here which care about the tears of others & try to change this world into a betta place... I'm also one of those which knows what depression means...& I know how wonderful a short moment of happiness can be... so I wish you all many of those happy moments... Rob I dunno how you feel at the mo' but *hugsss all the best to ya hun...t c of ya & try to be ! strong on planet Robbie xxx ....to you all loads of love on & on ...hugadihugsss & a absafuckinlutely good time :) xxx

to the one who said about career ! i just want to say you can have a career if you want it bad enough ,i have met people from all over the world some of the poorest countrys who have believed in them selves enough to make it happen ok if you live in communist country i guess its harder but in most places you must want things bad enough maybe you want something like to be a supermodel and you are not attractive then ok you can not have that but you could set up a unattractive model agencie ,or be a helper help people, have a career doing something else ,for many years i wanted to be one thing and as i realised it was not happening because i was no good at performing i was too shy , i changed direction ,just because you are not a rich millionaire and you don't have instant glory in your career doesn't mean you don't have a career for some people it might save them a life time of misery by being poor who kn! ows what god has in store for you as each person is so different but every job is important as the next a Trashman is just as important if not more so than a lawyer or a Judge and a cleaner is just as important as an accountant and people must find the way for them each person has a gift a talent and something you can do well so person who is sad about career try to find you place in the world if you do not know what to do then just do some thing that makes you smile or that is needed in the world to make it better or that helps someone who needs help there are many paths to the same place and a career however humble is just a job that pays the bills, find your job and work towards your dreams ,most people do not have it easy but it might be for a reason we can not all be famous or great doctors ,but we can be humble and realise what ever we do we are important beautiful beings and the world always need s love no matter what your career so love to you i hope you find your ! way ,believe in your self and who knows dreams and hard work d! o pay of f look at snoop dogg and dr dre and where them people were at before they worked for the career and they are good at what they do same with rob he has worked so hard for what he wanted and people put him down and he gets back up its not an easy job you know ,he makes records and he entertains people ,if you can sing and put the time in you can do it too just believe in you .some people do have more luck or money or faith than others but we all have a love inside of us that keeps us whole .so carry on regardless and be happy and make wise with what you have .

@theresa......and @everybody.... and @rob too....
I totally respect what you have to say Maria, but what right does anyone have to want to contact him directly? He isn't a friend, a relative or a neighbour. Yes he wrote songs from his heart etc but he openly admits to despising his fans and frankly i can see his point, it won't stop me buying his CDs if i like them or going to his concerts and i now admire his frankness about it all. When i read some of the books about him i honestly thought lots of things about him that i dare not repeat on a BBC website!!! though once you remove the four letter words they do consist of arrogant, childish, ungrateful, to name a few...but now i have had a look at some of the sites he mentions i CAN see where he is coming from. Its obsessive and at the end of the day, what has he done? He has written some class tracks and opened his heart up, that doesn't mean he is public property. Some people have him placed on a pedestal of god like proportions...he is a human being, someones son, nephew, grandson etc and although you may think that i am just 'stirring' i can assure you i am not. I am just concerned that a few people appear to idolise the man to an unhealthy degree...i'm sorry but i doubt very much if any of you will ever meet him, let alone marry the guy. I do think that some people need to remember that and treat your Robbie crush as just that and enjoy it, rather than become obsessive about it. Sorry for the long post about this and i hope you take what i have said in the manner it is meant. I also didn't mean crazy as in crazy mad but as in Kerazy!!!! maybe its lost on the www, in my head its was a colloquialism. Happy new year to you all and may your Robbie obsession be a healthy one. :-) We all have the little daydreams you know!

@theresa......and @everybody.... and @rob too....
@theresa....first of all,i want to say that rob isnt half crazy...and if he is...we all r....in portugal we say "we all r a bit doctors and a bit madmen"...lol....i know im a bit crazy but i dont like to call other ppl crazy....thats not very nice,i think..... then,i think that almost all ppl who write here r cool ppl who write cool posts and i believe that rob,if he reads them,he will love them....cos in those posts, we show to him how much he means to us.....i think its very important for a great man to know that hes loved and respected.....but he only reads these posts ,if he wants....we dont force rob to read this board...lol.....and if rob feels fine to live in america, i believe his heart is in europe.....but unfortunately there r stupid ppl who dont respect his privacy.....so he must live far from us......but those ppl r outside,not in this cool board.....of course his fans would like to know his address,cos they would love to write directly to him....i know he receives loads of crazy cards and i think thats so sad.....but i believe he also receives nice cards that make him happy......an artist life must be very difficult.....but i believe rob is good and clever and strong enough to overstep all obstacles........well,that! s all for now....sorry for my looooong post again.....lol.....a very happy new year to everybody!!!.....to the bbc crew and to the nice rob fans who write here.....and to my unknown friend rob and his family and friends and band and his dogs too.....loads of love and happiness to everybody....and health and peace too........its so sad wot happened in asia....80 000 ppl who died in that tragedy.....maybe more....omg.....it seems nature is angry with us.....we cant do nothing against it.....only cry and pray....pray for the eternal peace of thousands of dead ppl and pray for their family and friends who lost their beloved......well,im going now....bye everybody.....more love to ya all.....god bless u rob.....a big big hug my little prince.....XXXXXXXX

Hi to all of whom read's this. The day that knebworth was on, my grandad was being buried, and due to all the traffic, his funeral was ruined. My grandad was a royal marine, and so one of my cousins arranged for a royal marine to play the 'last post' on the bugalar at his graveside. The man who was playing the last post, sat in traffic for hours on end because of knebworth, and arrived about 2 hours late, he had travelled from the coast for us that day, and i just wanted to say to Robbie Williams, (even though he will never see this) THANK YOU for ruining my grandad's funeral. Thanks for reading this, Stephanie McCaffrey (I am also sorry that i didnt post this message sooner!!!) and also, feel free to post me and have a go at me for writing this on RW's message board.

TO ROBBIE WILLIAMS
Dear Rob, I wish you what's enough to make your life complete. Not so much, not so less. The enough! A perfect world around you, in your point of view. Serenity, peace, love...maybe! Everybody is always looking for something more. Hope you can distinguish and find what's missing... Hug
