The table doesn't lie. We're a poor team. Not sure I want us going to any tournament and being the whipping boys.

I'm Irish. My Liverpool cousins took me to my first ever game in England at Anfield. I was 7 and absolutely blown away by the experience. But for some reason I opted to start supporting QPR that same year.

3/6 and it was a bit of a wild guess.

Agreed. From my perspective it means they've no real idea what the price is and by getting you on the phone is an opportunity to see what you're prepared to pay. Which, after the frustrating website visit, is almost nothing.

That there Gurkha beer is pretty good too.

IMHO you're not missing anything. Back in the day I shared an office with a Zappa fan. He and the daft music both wrecked my head.

Graeme Thomson is a great writer. His superb book on early Simple Minds had me devouring their entire back catalogue again. Wonderful stuff.

Tom is a 'plumber'. Handy man.

Quite right too.

1/6 - I recognised a statue.

Some people go for beers when their team win 😉

I think his bonus is based on becoming full Gestapo. He's giving his all now as we're in the final quarter of the year.

Brilliant result. I'll be honest, I had us down for defeat today. So this win is all the sweeter.

What a fabulous lady. Such wisdom.

He may not have known until today either.

For those that like Wordle but prefer maps & cities.

A QPR fan congratulates you. It's impressive to see.

I worked in an office around the corner from The Champion for 5 years. We frequented this pub more than any in the area. It is absolutely beautiful. I'm less convinced by the beer than you but I'd always be happy to visit.

That and the cricket pitches.

3/6

I wouldn't disagree with any of that. On the plus side we're unbeaten in 5 which is pretty decent.

It'll be interesting to see what Poku brings to the team. I hope he's available soon.

I wonder / worry how fit Field, Cook & Frey are.

5/6 tough one

4/6

I like this game.
