I know there are those that say why vote, they're all the same, but not knowing the exact figures I would say Conservatives have been in charge for about 75% of the time over the last hundred years.
Tony Blair is a hate figure because of sucking up to Bush but a bullet point list of his governments show some really beneficial policies for large sections of our population.
That said, no more posts from me on this subject in case it all gets out of hand. |

Apparently when Rishi heard that over 5K R's fans had bought their STs in a week he thought “things are looking up, let's call the election “ |

I think it's now Hammersmith and Chiswick constituency, so LR still in same borough.
Folk living south of Hammersmith Broadway, I believe are now in Chelsea & Fulham.
So, our borough has no Prem clubs ! We are the biggest team ! You R's !
Ps..by borough I really mean constituency. Hammersmith & Fulham remains the council body. [Post edited 22 May 18:52]

I absolutely love it. My wife also thinks it's hilarious.
I'm hoping to see QPR+ a lot more next year.
I started watching during covid, unaware that it existed earlier. I thought I'd hate it as a normally non-TV person but really enjoyed it.
When did it start ? |

I was in the caff the other day and the bloke at the next table was eating a slice of veal, ham and egg pie with a pig's ear.
I tugged on the waitress's sleeve and said “who's that ?”
She said, “oh, that's Jim, he's just come out of the army. I think they said he was in the pie ‘n’ ear corps” |

I quite like it, also he comports himself in a mannerly fashion and the ablation of players surplus to requirements enhances his potential.

When my retirement came around, the gaffer said I could stay on for a few years.
“Will that affect my concessionary ST price at QPR ?” I said.
“Well,” he said with a Gallic shrug. |

I concur. Whenever I moan about football my wife says “ why don't you pack it in, you don't enjoy it anymore “
I usually say - it's easier said than done, you can't just walk away.
That said, given the attitude of modern footballers, and the way the game is generally run, I can see myself walking away one day. |

A song that used to be sung around the pubs in Hammersmith:
I am a man of Kerry, the land of eggs and bacon,
And if you think I'll eat your fish & chips you're f****** well mistaken ! |

I thought the winning entry sometimes sagged beneath the weight of its own invention but any lack of subtlety was compensated by characterisation. |
