Can drive a road train but current job will be a standard artic ( or semi as mr ozzy would say ) The days of popping the pills to stay awake are over, except of course at 1am on a Sunday morning to watch the mighty hoops !
Good posts.... Business Improvement Consultant 53 - feel 33 - supported Rrrrrs since for over 40 years now Based in Poole in Dorset. Used to live in Ruislip, so regular at the loft and previously season ticket holder; only get to a handful of games now though
Age - 57 Work - for many years, worked on overseas assignments in Risk Management for one of the big accountancy firms (I'm not an accountant), but now work from home and it's great to have a bit more time on my hands Started supporting QPR in 1968 but didn't get to see them play until 1971. I remember it was the New Year's day fixture at LR and the pitch was fogged over. It was impossible to see from one side of the pitch to the other widthwise, let alone the length of the pitch. A match would never go ahead in those conditions now. But at the time, it was fascinating for me, because all these players I'd been following avidly in the tabloids, sticking pictures on my wall - Rodney Marsh, Mick Leach, the Morgan Brothers etc - kept appearing out of the mist for a few seconds and then disappearing in again. Really quite mystical. I have no memory of the score. I'm not sure many people knew at the time! Went to quite a few games in the 70's and as many as I could get to in the 80's. Took up a season ticket in the early 90's just before we made the drop to the second tier, and been a regular attender ever since.
No thats me...I am an 18st 54 year-old-truck driver called Vernon But who the @@@@ is Cecille. (Catfight?)
Hi Copenhagen Nice to meet you too. There are two of us that are different! We could start a thread about knitting and pink things and fluffy kittens (oooops forgot I am an 18st 54 year-old-truck driver called Vernon)
Ha ha ha, yeah we could share qpr knitting patterns?? or start a thread on who has the best bum!?! My vote goes to Buz ;D
Have given it 5 minutes serious thought and my vote is Faurlin....but any minute now we are going to get told off for discussing mens bums on a serious intellectual website....so I will return to my Vernon alter-ego and remark my favourite team of the afternoon Bolton are now two up...come on (in the cup) Bolton
lol yeah not a bad choice ;D Yeah back to the football! My team of the afternoon is Blackpool, not looking good!
Statistics show that knitting pink fluffy things is the favourite current pastime of 18 st, 54 year old truck drivers, called Vernon! ! Nice to "meet" both of you!
I fear that an 18st, 54 year old truckdriver called Vernon, who is also vociferous exponent of knitting pink fluffy things, may also have a fascination for men's bums (footballers or otherwise).
Been away in Llangollen for a few days and missed some good threads by the look of it. Sooperhoop is 57 years old 30 years as a Facilities Manager but being made redundant next month Born in St. Mary's and lived early years in Cosway Street, Marylebone Moved to Brixton just as I started school and spent 30 years there moving out via Waterford, Eire then Peckham, Sydenham and now South Norwood Married for the second time last April and have one daughter and three grandchildren Supported the Hoops since 1966, saw my first match in Oct 1968, QPR 2 Man U 3. Memorable for the fact I went to see the game without telling my Mum, I walked from Brixton to Stockwell tube station (this was before there was underground in Brixton) got the tube to the match and back and afterwards walked back to Brixton from Stockwell as my 2s 6d pocket money was all used up. I arrived home at 7.00pm only to find the neighbours had been sent out to find me and Mum was going up the wall. When I showed her the match programme I bet they heard her rant over in West London, she wasn't amused. My Dad got home from work later and thought it was brilliant I'd worked it all out for myself. My only memory of the actual match was seeing Bobby Charlton who was a hero of mine from the World Cup...
