Rob (No FBPE please)

Finally found my way home after a long ten year absence

@Standardsforall I couldn’t tell you! The weird and the wonderful get written here. My box writes about 35 lines but there’s many more across the market as a whole.

@RobNoLastName What's the craziest thing you're insuring today?

Very busy market today, doing what this market does. Protecting the world. Sounds a big undertaking, but for us it’s just another Tuesday.

Lift straight from the upper basement to G11- no stopping. Very rarely happens.

Former SNP Chief Exec in court for nicking money from the party. Socialism in a nutshell. Happy to take £20 a month off less affluent members of society in order to feather their own nests, while pretending to care about equality.

@iancharris Blood pressure tablets! Thanks for the reminder

@RobNoLastName Would have gone for toast rather than hash browns.

Spreading hate; again.

@Fat_Jacques @DanielJHannan Yep. That’s the plan.

@DanielJHannan So they will rejoin without a vote.

Britain will never vote to rejoin - and, for all their protestations, Labour politicians know it. Me in the Telegraph. Paywall down. telegraph.co.uk/gift/ac4274f29…

Twitterarti 2024: Want to stop illegal immigration? You’re racist, fascist. Twitterarti 2026: Labour are cutting down on illegal immigration and it shows how brilliant they are. These people aren’t at all intelligent or capable of structured analysis.

If you’re interested to read the “Sunday Nonsense” email to my team here is this week’s. It’s not my best but they can’t all be blockbusters! underwrittenweekly.com/2026/05/24/the… It’s about the 1987 UK Hurricane and our market’s response to it.

3 day work week; then off to Marrakesh for a week.... Into the market twice this week, on Thursday, with my late insurance mentor's widow and son.

Facebook memory from almost 20 years ago. Yep; getting people pissed in a meeting room at work. Nothing’s changed.

Let Darwin do his work

Mrs Rob has gone to bed; so I’ve put some pretty hardcore porn on the telly

£24 BILLION. That’s how much interest we paid on the national debt. Getting close to £1bn per DAY. We’re borrowing to pay for our borrowing. This is not sustainable.

Oh god The Sunday Sport. THE SUNDAY SPORT OF ALL PEOPLE, is actually doing structured political analysis better than the chancellor. and it has tits.

@AndyBurnhamGM @afneil Yikes. Picking a fight with the predominant political broadcaster? That just seems.... short termist.

@afneil You need to get out of London, Andrew. You’ve clearly got no idea how much people here are struggling. And, yes, a lot of it can be traced back to Margaret Thatcher.

Except that it purports to claim that the area (Makerfield) has been a victim of 40 years of Thatcherism (that’s what Burnham seems to be running against, which means he’s also running against the Blair-Brown government, of which he was a part). Yet the backdrop to his wandering shows rows of neat, well-kept, substantial semi-detached homes, with plenty new cars in the driveways and a vibrant high street, despite all the road works improving it. Oh yes and a state school so good he sent his kids to it. Put simply — the pictures clash with his words of victimhood and deprivation.

In the immortal words of Mr Malcolm Tucker I am busier than a two twatted hooker today. I will get a chance to pop to the cathedral of global insurance but only briefly. Three new starters in my team today. The empire expands!!

@iancharris Looking forward to reading this!

@RobNoLastName The payout is linked to the drop compared to an agreed level. The premium/rate paid for the cover has been agreed & once the event is triggered the agreed marker determines the pay out. No need for adjustment & no argument over the value of the claim. sedgwick.com/en-gb/blog/par…

Every week, I send my team “The Sunday Nonsense”. If you’re interested in the world of insurance, and specifically parametric insurance, you can read this week’s here (2 sides of A4- a long one): underwrittenweekly.com/2026/05/17/the…

@iancharris "Business Interruption insurance." GOD I NEVER CONSIDERED THIS..... Think we have the topic for next week's email!

@RobNoLastName Its possibilities in flood and other natural perils covers is huge, especially as a reinsurance. I could be a game changer in Business Interruption insurance.

@iancharris If you're interested - this was a VERY self indulgent love letter to the market - a "Sunday Nonsense Bank Holiday Special" underwrittenweekly.com/2026/04/08/a-w…
