QPR v Burnley



I think this match will go down as a missed oppotunity. QPR conceded a soft goal- and were saved by the referee from another. QPR and Burnley both missed the target comically QPR finally equalised

Jamie Vardy entered the fray- with the loft sing his wife was a brass

Patrick Stewart

 13 July 1940 – 28 October 2026

Old enough to remember Churchill's second premiership. Suez, and the 1966 World Cup

An old friend of Brian Blessed


Captain Jean Luc Picard

This feels unexpected, he was an old man. Still, thank God they made Picard season 3 I remember watching the Next Generation. Copying the voice, 

Sejanus, Dad Savage, Professor X, Lenin,

Huddersfield Town fan, Father, Trade Unionist

NFL in London




Accompanied  my brother. I went to see the Jacksonville Jaguars play the Houston Texans. It was a bit strange hearing the men from Jacksonville referred to as the Jags. It was like seeing Partick Thistle play if they Oil Money behind them

The game was preceeded by some freezing rain. I am glad Wembley is roofed

Alas no fly past...

It was an advertisement for the NFL. There were several interceptions and the game ended with a very tight score of 34 to 31. The Houston Texans may well be on their way to the superbowl

The half time show was little dogs, with little training being raced. Which did make me smile. As did the kiss cam- one couple really embraced it. The lady allowing herself to be swept up

The crowd seemed mostly Brits with a noticeable amount of Germans 

A fun day out, in October

QPR V Derby








  A win A palable win!

 I note though that with Mr Burnam's proposal That alcohol sales be resumed at games. I noted the stewards having to warn a few people to return to the game

Also two players left the field injured

I was disappointed by the late goal though 
 

QPR v Burnley

I think this match will go down as a missed oppotunity. QPR conceded a soft goal- and were saved by the referee from another. QPR and Burnle...
