    On this day 2011, I remember watching this match in an Irish Bar in Coral Bay, Cyprus. Perhaps Adel's finest game for us at Cardiff...

    But, on a brighter note, when was the last time QPR scored seven in a match?...

    35 years ago today, QPR 7 Bolton 1 in the old Division Two, sadly no video of it...

    On this day, 2011 US Special Forces killed Bin Laden in a raid on a compund in Pakistan....if you've not caught it, would recommend the film Zero Dark Thirty profiling the intelligence search, and then the assault leading to his death.

    1980, SAS rescued the hostages at the Iranian embassy - remembering watching this at home as a kid, coming on as a Newsflash (which didn't happen very often) and being totally fascinated by it.....

    On this day 1893 - The Supreme Court of the United States rules in Nix v. Hedden that a tomato is a vegetable, not a fruit, under the Tariff Act of 1883.
    Nix v. Hedden, 149 U.S. 304 (1893),[1] was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that, under U.S. customs regulations, the tomato should be classified as a vegetable rather than a fruit. The Court's unanimous opinion held that the Tariff Act of 1883 used the ordinary meaning of the words "fruit" and "vegetable", instead of the technical botanical meaning.
    The Tariff Act of March 3, 1883 required a tax to be paid on imported vegetables, but not fruit. Botanically, a tomato is a fruit because it is a seed-bearing structure growing from the flowering part of a plant.
