One of my favourites:
I have lived in important places, times
When great events were decided, who owned
That half a rood of rock, a no-man's land
Surrounded by our pitchfork-armed claims.
I heard the Duffys shouting "Damn your soul!"
And old McCabe stripped to the waist, seen
Step the plot defying blue cast-steel -
"Here is the march along these iron stones."
That was the year of the Munich bother. Which
Was more important? I inclined
To lose my faith in Ballyrush and Gortin
Till Homer's ghost came whispering to my mind.
He said: I made the Iliad from such
A local row. Gods make their own importance.

I know some Chelsea fans who are st holders at Palace - purely on price.
A lot of top division attendees are there for the prem circus- it is alien to our type of fan but very much a reality. |

Very odd - AJ looked like he had never boxed before - hands low chin high. Suspect Fury loses again next and then we get those two again at Wembley for a final payday |

The plan is to get down to the central line for direct entry below the stadium. Then reclining seats under the see through pitch to watch from below. |

Proof that there is a fate worse than death.
At least we are going to find out if our squad of a couple of years ago had gone down how they would have fared in league 1. |

A bit lazy- a cultured midfielder who will go on to have an excellent career.
Hard working- Another sh1t signing
Academy prospect- Hamilton academicals reserves in 3 years time |

The header from the set piece from Kolli was goal bound save a slight deflection. I rewatched the game last night and it was a lot better than I felt leaving the game. |

Yes listened this morning. I am back at LR Saturday after finishing chemotherapy at the start of the month and hopefully down to six month check ups. It’s a horrible period during surgery and recovery but life comes back to normal soon enough. Best wishes Finney - ‘and thanks for all you do for QPR’ to paraphrase the great man. |

I love a lot of the books mentioned above but I nominate DH Lawrence and Hilary Mantel for room 101. |

Hmm I think that sort of thing might be ok when things are going well but events can intervene and make things very difficult.
In recent times we have been made aware if x player has a difficult agent or home situation- and it buys some time or compassion.
Having a youthful CEO can change from love this new approach to ‘don’t know what you are doing’ in about 5 adverse results without context and fan engagement. |

We lost our 11 year old cat in spring which was a terrible loss. He was euthanised at home with the whole family present. He was our friend, sometimes boss and happy companion.
We now have two kittens from a local cat charity and they are a total joy. They are not replacement s as that would be impossible but a new set of friends. |

Not sure America changes as much as people think.
Kennedy was seen to have won his TV debate with Nixon due to Dicks 5 O Clock shadow comparing unfavorably to the youthful healthy looking Kennedy. They actually privately got on pretty well before that and agreed on a lot of the then foreign policy stuff.
Kennedy looked so good as he was pumped full of steroids to deal with debilitating Addisons disease. He had already come near death on a number of occasions.
Reagan was pretty gaga in his second term not to mention Nancys reliance on her daily horoscope.
Its always been nuts. Although Edens disastrous handling of Suez when off his cake on painkillers means we need to be careful of throwing stones. |
