.....can be frustrating. Can be boring. Can be confrontational. Can be informative. Can be a challenge to stay engaged with (as I posted recently). However, the real reason I stay with this site is the people I have had the pleasure of engaging with over the last couple of years. I am not a Twitterer. I am not a Facebooker. I just don't understand the 'engage with the world 24/7 through my smartphone' way of life. However, I do contradict myself in that I am involved with one virtual blog site, this one. And, I do spend a small bit of time on it. And, it still astounds me how some gems of people continue to walk into this 'virtual public house' of ours, i.e. QPR not606. Only tonight, a Not606 regular, in another country, whom I have only met on a few occasions, spent a significant amount of time booking tickets for 3 IrishRs he hardly knows, on his own credit card! I told my wife this and she says, perplexed, "do you know them well?". I said I met them a few times. My wife thinks I'm bonkers, and probably thinks they're equally deluded too. What is it about this site that brings out such trust and cameraderie? God only knows, but long may it last! So, to all the trusting Sussexes, Judos, Nineses, Finglases et al I've met, and all the virtual pubgoers I've not yet had the pleasure of meeting, here's to you. And here's to a win on the 24th. See you in Hennessy's.
The middle man has been unfairly underrated thoughout history Well done to SussexR as well! The 24th is going to be legendary.
It's definitely on at the Turf, checked yesterday and it will be rockin' Que sera.... I'll be at Wembley!!!!!!!
Yes, there are some top blokes on here that I have had the pleasure to meet or communicate with. One reached out to me and offered to get me a ticket which he duly did. What a touch of class and I've never even met him.
I'm pleased to have been able to help CORKeR. We've only met a few times, but at the end of the day we are all Rangers, and I'm sure if the positions had been reversed someone would have helped me Im sure. Anyway, anyone who is brave enough to stalk Mrs Sussex is a brave man and deserves help!!!!! Lets make sure that the 24th is a party, win or lose. We are QPR and theres not another club/community like it.
Great post, Corker. Hopefully I'll also be there, be great to have a major Not606 Wembley meet-up ahead of the game...
Can I just add how much I appreciate the efforts of Finglas, Judo, Sussex & Corker for sorting out the tickets and hospitality for saturday..... Mrs TR can not understand how this is all working and who is getting what and for whom, plus we could have had a weeks holiday in Spain for the cost of this one day......she is as baffled as CORKeR's wife about how people are all doing this on trust, but I keep saying to her that in a way we do all know each other....... Anyway lads a huge thanks to everyone and roll on the 24th.....
Funny how i read this and knew straight away who you were talking about. The same guy who texted me to make sure I was sorted for a ticket if i was going. Staines top man.
