#KeepCalm&MartiOn
One of the more depressing threads to read in a season/decade of depressing threads.
I'm back earlier than planned next week and from what I've been reading here and chums telling me over the last few months, I'm dreading the thought of going. What a monstrous self-inflicted clusterfook of club we've been turned into. Again! |

True Brian, but not when you're at rock bottom and bloody desperate. Further, when they missed, it was more a surprise than a nailed on certainty. |

I had a dreadfully dull summer student job doing data entry in 1994. Halfway through the second day I thought I'd end up being committed by boredom.
Then inspiration struck and account holders in a certain west of England county were addressed thus: blah, blah, blah...Devon White. |

Let's look at the evidence;
1). QPR survive. QPR rekindle hopes of thriving. QPR gone downhill since midsummer.
2). Trump languishing in the polls. Bazza 'disappears' midsummer. Trump wins in November!
3). Russia bogged down in Ukraine. North Korean troops arrive. Russia regaining the initiative.
Coincidence? I think not! |

Definitely go to Guernica, the museum is brilliant and you'll leave thinking: Franco was a bastard and thank God he stayed out of WW2. The only time a Picasso ever truly made sense!
The Guggenheim, well each to their own. Maybe caught it on a bad day, but a lot of modern stuff that really was rubbish.
Some cracking bars/restos but I'll be jiggered if I can remember much else. San Sebastian, if you have the time, is well worth a peruse lot of night life gong on. |

Generally, I find QPR are pretty good on these sorts of things. In fact, if we all agreed to drop the football and just focus on the CSR stuff, life would be more enjoyable.
I think if you approach the club and make a specific request, they might be amenable. Failing that, I'd get down there for 12pm.
Good luck and hope pops gets well soon. |

I suspect we can all cut, past, and apply the sentiment in your last two paragraphs retrospectively, currently and, in all probability, into the future across the full gamut of QPR activities. |

I'd also make cyclists pay towards road tax, and the full force of the fine culture heaped upon them if they stray out of lane, don't wear crash hats, and when they jump the lights. Slightly more controversial: fined for looking a prat in lycra.
And those freewheeling on scooters would also pay a whack for similar infringements. Tripled if they don't have an actual licence.
I don't have a problem with cyclists (scooterists) who appreciate that they share the road, not own it! Applies to walkways along canals, too! Last year along the Grand Union, I had the pleasure of putting a fast peddling cyclist in the drink by Horsenden Hill...only way these ctuns will learn: slow down and use your brakes! |

Well, the reality is: when we have done it that way, and done it professionally and competently, we've arguably enjoyed our more successful times and, more particularly, our less embarrassing periods.
Simple fact is: we've been run and have employed too many crooks, clowns and charlatans for decades now, and the culture of incompetence is deeply ingrained as a result. It's hard to see a positive way forward with the current circus in charge and as I have repeatedly said, in the absence of a competent sugar daddy walking through the door, then it'll likely have to be killed before it can be reborn again. |

I bet they've gone as teams maybe prefer to reach Nirvana through keeping it tight at the back and being defensively rock solid as opposed to playing expansive entertaining football to reach the Premier$hip.
I for one thank Nourry for not falling for it and sticking hard to our beliefs and principles. If I may, applying one of Sid Waddell's best quotes: Alexander the Great conquered the world at 33, Christian Nourry's done it at 26! |

2014 I was talking to a bloke about it, and he really had got in early and so off I went and did a lot of research before dipping a couple of toes in.
I get the sense behind it, but like social media, it's destined to be fraught with difficulties, especially if governments/central banks increase the push-back.
Given volatility in the ecosystem, I applied the old adage that you should only gamble what you can afford to lose before going in. Equally, you do need to really keep on top of it, and I just did not have the time. Exited and comparatively, yeah, no complaints on what I made. But while I like my ice cream to be a really good vanilla, with an occasional dabble with salted caramel, this is maybe a little too too tutti fruitti for me.
If you go in: get a special memory stick, protonmail email account, a solid authenticator, and really do your research on which trading platform you are going to use...hence, get a memory stick and remember: if you don't hold it, you don't own it! |

George Best's last game was actually my first on 1 January 1974.
I'm not sure Rodney played, as I think he was plying his trade up at Maine Road by then. However, Stan certainly did and bagged a brace if memory serves in a 3-0 win.
All down hill from there really, and for Best too! |

What keeps Calm and Marti on? Tai Chi
QPR number 2, Xavi Calm, has revealed that he and boss Marti Cifuentes have turned to tai chi to help them relax and keep their focus during the championship's side relegation battle. He added, 'It's a total shit-show, even by QPR standards, and if we weren't doing tai chi, we'd have gone muy loco!'
WLS asked Rangers DOF/CEO/COO/VP/Chairman/Supreme Leader, Christian Nourry for comment, but were told 'QPR do not comment on martial arts.' |
