Can I have a moan about this? Holding on the phone for 10 mins despite being 'caller no 1' I finally get through to the poor sod at the other end - Me 'Can I please give you some hard earned money in exchange for a QPR Membership?' Him 'No' Me 'Why not, I'm a proper fan and even have Pellicori on the back of my shirt' Him 'We're not selling them yet' Me 'Can you tell me when you will be?' Him 'No' Ok I think, butter him up, try some of the old charm and try this instead - Me 'Can I get one of those away season tickets' Him 'Do you have a Loftus Road Season Ticket' Me 'No I live in Sheffield but would like an Away Season Ticket to go to the away games' Him 'No, only available to ST holders' Hmm this isn't going well, so change tack - Me 'Can I buy an Everton ticket yet?' Him ' Are you a QPR membership holder?' Me 'No you won't sell me one' Him 'They're aren't available yet but you need to be a member to get in early' Me 'Can I buy anything?' Him 'Try the club shop' Honestly, and they say we're a service industry country....
Great dialogue, WBA2! If you'd said "Sorry about the bad line - it's normally better than this from my yacht but we're having bad weather in the Med today", he'd have been eating out of your hand!
The bloke on the other end says to he's colleagues " Had a gooseberry perserve eater on a minute ago, askes far too many questions"
I think I spilt some pesto on my tie, that won't wash out Oh well, I still harbour ambitions to see us at Everton, never been to Goodison. Do they still play the Z Cars theme when the players come out? Quality.
Won't be the coffee that keeps you awake Wubba (saw someone came up with that name for you yesterday)... it's your evidently unnatural propensity for excitement. Anyone who can get enthused by the return of Pecillori must have something in his pipe!
Can anyone (a QPR fan obviously) honestly tell me that they're not excited? Its all going on. And yes Pellicori is back, Pellicori is back!! Every team needs a dodgy Italian or three, its what makes us so damned cosmopolitan!
