    I said before Staines that I enjoyed meeting up with posters on here before the game than the actual game. Also I agree it was the same for me, I couldn't wait to get home..It became a bit of a chore.

    That quote by TF upsets me because we have plenty of fans that don't earn huge amounts of money and travel home and away every week. Sometimes they want to vent their feeling to other fans on social media. They have every right to. So when he uses the term "short-term-ness" it grinds with me. He should realize he is just the present custodian of our club. People like us are lifelong fans who have spent a lot of money on QPR when he was watching F1 or at a West Ham game. These problems we have are down to his mismanagement of the club and not some guy who vents his anger on social media. Alienating the fans tells me that he wants out.

    Happy birthday Stan. Only 57? Got to say I thought you were in your 60's when we met at Brix's game.





    Only joking, of course. I too don't find myself overly caring about how we get on, and rather than putting it down to the current and recent state of affairs, I think it's more to do with being busy with work and home life and accepting that we are not in a false position, i.e. Approximately somewhere between 20 and 40th best in England.

    Enjoy your evening, don't overly stress your limbs, heart and joints.

    Yes mate, done my first week and been measured up for my uniform and stab vest (should be getting that next week), then straight to lectures which I’ve really enjoyed though at times got a little lost.
    As well as having such fantastic teachers, We are so lucky nowadays that we have the internet as an extra learning tool as help is never far away and making it interactive makes it far easy to get into your head.
    I’ve learnt about Cells, molecules, tissue,organs, the Cardio vascular system, the muscular skeletal system, the nervous system, inner workings of the brain, neurons, and how the heart works...amongst other things, as well as getting used to what is where on the back of the van and learning basic life support.
    Must say everyone has been great and can’t wait to start again tomorrow.
    It’s really been a breath of fresh air to meet such fantastic people.

    I assume you are becoming a paramedic. Hats off to you mate. Full respect, hope it goes well for you.

    Talking of molecules, I was listening to Richard Dawkins earlier and he mentioned that the relationship between size of nucleus and molecule is like a fly in the middle of a football stadium, and the next molecule would be typically another football stadium. Everything else is simply empty space. Phenomenal.

    Good luck Staines.

    How did you know that I have admired Ms Grogan from afar for decades?
    Happy birthday Jr!
    oddly I am in much better shape than I was at Brix’s game, which seems a very long time ago, but only because I was terrified into making a few changes. I now only look early 70s

    Thank you all. My mother brought me up to be polite, and respond to all good wishes. So that’s enough birthday wishes cheers, I’ll be here all night.

    That sounds really good, the stab vest is a worrying sign of the times we are living in though. My wife works at the Royal Marsden and had to do an AMSPAR course which I helped her with. It's a course in understanding medical terminology and I found it very beneficial on the Immediate Emergency Medical Care courses that I attended. Good luck mate.

    How many people being trained mate, and what’s the spread of age, men/women, background etc. In other words are you the only old git?

    Great that you are enjoying it and learning new stuff.

    Great to see you're going into this with such enthusiasm, despite the extremes you will encounter you will really have job satisfaction which is not easy to find these days. Good luck...<ok>

    Where are you watching the NFL, I was hooked last weekend, but it was on in all the bars I went in. Have to say I’m beginning to really like the game.

    Just checked, it’s ****ing Sky, sod that.
